The Insider's Guide to Business and IT Agility

WebLayers today announced the launch of its WebLayers Center(TM) 2.0, the first enterprise software that addresses the governance of XML, Web Services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) from the development community up to the CIO's office.
The company said that WebLayers Center includes extensive policy definition, configuration and management at the enterprise level, as well as strong conformance mechanisms via a set of checkpoints and enhanced conformance servers. The product suite also features advanced governance capabilities through active dashboards, which provide up-to-date compliance information and impact analysis reports that enable enterprises to direct and enhance the design and rollout of their service-oriented architecture, WebLayers said.
"SOA governance is critical to the success of an SOA initiative," said Ann Thomas Manes, vice president and research director at Burton Group. "Burton Group predicts that businesses will waste billions of dollars over the next three to five years in failed efforts to adopt SOA because they won't institute the necessary governance processes to ensure that things are developed with some sense of purpose and discipline," she said.
WebLayers said its Center provides all the capabilities enterprises need to institute active governance of XML, Web Services and SOA development, including:
"WebLayers was created out of a need for companies to align their business and technology efforts through governance," said Motti Vaknin, president and CEO of WebLayers. "More and more companies are realizing how critical governance and policy implementation is to the success of integration projects. SOA requires a major shift in the way software is developed and deployed within enterprises, and WebLayers has the technology companies need to take them to that next level."
Based on WebLayers' patent-pending technology for Governance and Conformance of XML and Web Services in Service Oriented Architecture, WebLayers' products address the SOA Governance needs of the entire enterprise.
The company added that WebLayers Center is being released with the following two configurations:
