The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
04/07/2004
NetIQ Corp. (Nasdaq: NTIQ), a provider of Systems & Security Management and Web Analytics solutions, and Infravio, a maker of contract-driven Web Services Management software, announced a strategic alliance, highlighted by an exclusive technology agreement and plans for joint sales and marketing efforts. In addition, NetIQ is acting as lead investor in Infravio's Series D Preferred financing, which is currently being closed. Existing investors, Walden International and Crystal Internet Ventures, are also participating in the round. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
The companies gave the following details:
"This is a smart and forward-looking alliance for both Infravio and NetIQ," stated Jason Bloomberg, senior analyst at ZapThink, a leading research and analysis group focusing on emerging technologies and their business impact. "As companies look to leverage the power of Web services and build Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs), systems management serves both to monitor the operation of the services, as well as to maintain the services layer that forms the core of the SOA. NetIQ and Infravio clearly complement each other with their strengths in systems management and SOA domain expertise, respectively. As a result, this partnership promises to provide substantial value to customers who are looking to build agile enterprise SOAs."
As part of the agreement, NetIQ has exclusive rights to embed the operations management component of Infravio Ensemble™ into the award-winning NetIQ¨ AppManager" Suite. This integrated solution will enable IT administrators to manage Web Services through the same AppManager console they already use for end-to-end management of mission critical Windows, Linux and UNIX environments. The first NetIQ solutions incorporating Infravio technology will be AppManager for Web Services .NET and AppManager for Web Services J2EE. NetIQ expects both products to be generally available in the fall of this year.
"This alliance with Infravio is intended to eliminate the need for customers to integrate point product solutions for Web Services Management with an enterprise systems management solution," said David Pann, vice president of Product Management & Marketing at NetIQ, "In the future, IT administrators will have the ability to monitor and manage any off-the-shelf or custom application built on Web Services standards using AppManager." Added Jeff Tonkel, president and CEO of Infravio, "the complementary NetIQ/Infravio alliance strengthens the competitive positioning for both companies, propelling NetIQ to the forefront of the Web Services management space. Infravio gains access to a broader customer base to fuel our growth while we drive market penetration of our SOA/Web Services Implementation Framework."
The Infravio SOA/Web Services Implementation Framework allows companies to maximize ROI from their investments in Web Services technology. In addition to operations management, the framework includes a Corporate Web Services Registry, used to catalogue, promote, authorize, configure and track Web Services and their use throughout the enterprise, and a Distributed Broker for Web Services security enforcement, data transformation, routing, transport brokering, and lifecycle management.
Concluded Srinivas Balasubramanian, co-founder and chief strategist for Infravio, "the combination of NetIQ AppManager and Infravio Ensemble creates a highly powerful SOA/Web Services Implementation Framework, making NetIQ and Infravio clear leaders in the Web Services Management market."

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
