Acumen and Pramati Partner to Provide Seamless Web Services Integration to Global Organizations
In combining their technologies, Pramati and Acumen propose to be theJ2EE supplier of choice for Web Services technology helping customers decrease the cost and complexity associated with integrating business processes over the Internet.
Web services currently run the gamut from news syndication and stock-market data to weather reports and package-tracking systems. These services are the power behind a wide range of B2B initiatives, allowing companies to seamlessly connect with partners throughout their supply chains, boosting operational efficiency.
“Web-based enterprise-to-enterprise integration helps companies reduce the cost of doing business,” said Mohammad Naderi, President of Acumen. “By leveraging key Pramati application server technologies, we will be able to bring to market, in a short time, a reliable and scalable UDDI directory that meets the demands of companies around the world.”
AUDDI™-SE is a small-footprint, industrial-strength UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) registry that customers can install behind their firewall to create a private UDDI directory using Pramati’s industrial-strength, low-cost application server. A UDDI registry is a relatively simple mechanism to let interested parties know about Web Services and how to link to them. Popular application servers like Pramati’s Server 3.0 host such directories in order to help developers more quickly create and deploy Web Services.
“We believe Acumen is an industry-leading example of a successful implementation of advanced UDDI cataloging of Web Services,” said Jay Pullur, CEO of Pramati Technologies. “From their hands-on integration experience using Web Services technology, Acumen has been advancing the accessibility to Web Services for all kinds of enterprise uses, none more important than linking business partners across the Web. It’s technology implementations like this that fulfill the old promise of the Internet to boost operational efficiency and impact the bottom line.”
Pramati Server, which was the first to receive the J2EE 1.3 certification in December 2001 from Sun Microsystems, is expected to include the Acumen UDDI registry in a new release slated for later this year.
The Market for This Bundle
As a UDDI directory of Web Services, the AUDDI™-SE structure works well with companies that already have the industrial-strength hardware and applications performing business transactions in the back-end. AUDDI™-SE is an interface to be added to the existing applications. For example, a tier-1 communications company is already using AUDDI™-SE in production as part of their corporate Web Services infrastructure and also as an integration resource for connecting with suppliers’ systems.
