Fujitsu and Seagull Software Integrate CentraSite™ and LegaSuite®

02/27/2007

Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation, a specialist in business process management (BPM) and service-oriented architecture (SOA), and Seagull Software, a provider of high-performance software solutions that transform legacy business applications into SOA assets, today announced that CentraSite™ integrates seamlessly with LegaSuite®, the company’s flagship product, and under a cooperative marketing program agreement Seagull Software can refer CentraSite to customers through its various channels.



ebizQ received the following details:

CentraSite is the industry’s only vendor-neutral, standards-based SOA registry and repository.

In September, Seagull Software announced it had become a strategic sponsor of the CentraSite Community, and the referral agreement and integration are the first steps resulting from that sponsorship. The integration of CentraSite with LegaSuite means that companies creating an SOA can expose their legacy assets to their entire corporate development community, as well as the global development community, through a centralized registry and repository that provides improved analysis and control of SOA resources and activities, promotes the reuse of services, accelerates SOA projects, and enhances the quality of a SOA. Fujitsu and Seagull Software are among 22 sponsors that contribute to the CentraSite Community to help organizations successfully design, implement, manage, govern, and optimize an SOA. The CentraSite Community, which also serves as an SOA thought leadership portal, can be accessed at www.CentraSite.com.

“This collaboration integrates two pieces of the puzzle that are critically important to the SOA strategy of every enterprise that relies on domain-rich legacy applications,” said Don Addington, CEO and president of Seagull Software. “LegaSuite enables companies to use their legacy applications as services in a next-generation infrastructure. CentraSite enables these services to be effectively managed and made available for reuse. The clear benefit for customers is that as they build out their SOA infrastructure, they can minimize the risk in migrating to a SOA environment by maximizing the reuse of their proven, legacy applications.”

“The integration of CentraSite with LegaSuite provides Seagull Software customers with a solution for effectively managing their growing number of SOA assets, while also giving them immediate access to the CentraSite Community and the SOA assets and skill sets of other CentraSite Community Sponsors,” said Robert Sepanloo, senior vice president of the Enterprise Software and Solutions Group, Fujitsu Computer Systems. “Our partnership illustrates the benefits of the CentraSite strategy and the CentraSite Community model. By encouraging vendor collaboration, we are creating solutions that remove complexity and the risks involved in migrating from legacy applications to modern, SOA environments. This helps expand market adoption of SOAs and accelerates individual SOA projects.”
