Two vendors are expected to unveil products this week that customers say will help them tap their legacy assets more efficiently in a service-oriented architecture environment.
Software AG is preparing to release Crossvision, a suite designed to help companies deploy and manage application services. Crossvision combines management features with tools for integrating applications, building composite applications and modeling business processes.
For its part, Sonic Software is expected to take the wraps off Actional 6.0, its SOA management platform due to ship in early March. Actional 6.0 will be the first platform upgrade since Progress Software - Sonic's parent company - acquired Web services management vendor Actional for $32 million earlier this year and folded the purchase into Sonic.
Sonic has added features it calls Business Process Visibility that give business users and IT staff insight into the services infrastructures that support business processes. The tools let users write, apply and enforce policies for those processes. In addition, the software can auto-discover the infrastructure, applications and services supporting a business process and create a flow map aimed at faster detection and resolution of problems.
Newly added activity-monitoring tools can be tuned for business users looking for data such as units shipped, and for IT users seeking operational data such as service response time.
"Actional allows us to monitor and centrally manage all the actions on our service fabric," says Israel del Rio, senior vice president of technology solutions for the 800-property Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. The White Plains, N.Y., company is four years into a project to move its mainframe-based reservation, booking and inventory system to a services architecture. "With Actional we are able to find out what type of service calls were being made and what is the service response we are getting," says del Rio, who is beta testing Version 6.0.
American Fidelity Assurance Company, a longtime Software AG customer, also is using SOA technology to build business applications that tap into its core mainframe systems.
