IDS Scheer and E2E Technologies Form Long-Term Cooperation Project on BPM/SOA
06/18/2007
IDS Scheer and E2E Technologies Ltd. have today announced the signing of a technology partnership contract on ARIS ProcessWorld in Berlin. The companies have agreed on a long-term cooperation to internationally market ARIS Bridge integration, which will allow fast implementation of business processes in an SOA environment.
ebizQ received the following:
The ARIS Bridge integration is already available. It comprises a Process-to-Application (P2A) methodology that permits the inclusion of existing backend systems through use of a unique fully Model Driven Integration (MDI) approach requiring zero programming.
IDS Scheer is the leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM), while E2E is the world's first company to offer a next generation Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) based on a high performance virtual machine for the Unified Modeling Language (UML). ARIS Bridge integration is designed to bridge the traditional gap between processes and applications, and therefore help organizations align business and IT blueprints. Organizations using the ARIS Bridge can now develop a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) much faster, and drastically reduce total integration cost by unifying the description of data, events, services and processes to simplify complex enterprise integration, migration and consolidation projects.
"We welcome this technology partnership", comments Karl Wagner, Head of ARIS Product Management and Development at IDS Scheer, "This marries E2E's UML-ESB offering with our ARIS solutions, bringing one more interesting option to implement an ARIS-driven Service-Oriented Architecture to our clients while setting our ongoing cooperation on a more formal footing".
"Both IDS Scheer and E2E are entirely committed to solving the communication and alignment problems between business and IT that most organizations are facing," notes Serge Gansner, CEO and co-founder of E2E. "It's therefore natural that each company should seek the best possible partner to complement its technological and business objectives. With IDS Scheer, E2E has found such a partner".
The key to successful construction of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the matching of the existing heterogeneous software environment to the business processes. However, most initiatives fail early on because of the classic disconnect between modeled processes and manually programmed (and often undocumented) interfaces to existing software components. This unique combination of process modeling and MDI based on directly executable UML models dramatically reduces the risk of such failure.
