WS-I is committed to promoting interoperability across Web services platforms, applications and programming languages. AmberPoint joins more than 125 other companies that have become members of WS-I since its official launch in February 2002. As a member, AmberPoint gains access to tools, materials and conformance tests that will ensure its products as well as its customers’ Web services are compatible and interoperable.
“The collaboration of AmberPoint with other industry leaders will help us achieve our goal of ensuring interoperable Web services technologies,” said Norbert H. Mikula, vice chair of WS-I. “With its expertise in Web services management and security, AmberPoint will assist WS-I in enabling companies to make the most of their Web services-based systems.”
While Web services standards facilitate connectivity between applications and processes, there are still critical management features necessary to deploy production-ready Web services. AmberPoint Management Foundation adds tremendous value to the new Web services infrastructure by providing key features such as monitoring and management across multiple machines, access control, handling of upgrades and tracking of business use.
“To realize the full potential of Web services, organizations require open, standards-based products that interoperate across highly distributed, federated, heterogeneous environments,” said John Hubinger, CEO of AmberPoint. “Toward this goal, the work of WS-I is exceptionally valuable. It brings together industry leaders to share their knowledge of the challenges associated with Web services and provides the necessary implementation guidance and supporting resources for developing interoperable Web services.”
