SUNNYVALE, CA . Driven by strong organic growth and an expanding partner network, the CentraSite Community has grown significantly to more than fifty members worldwide. The CentraSite Community has also initiated a new global effort to define, test and certify best practices for standards-based interoperability between member products.

CentraSite is an industry-leading solution for service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance jointly developed by Fujitsu and Software AG. The CentraSite Community brings together within a single ecosystem for SOA the multitude of industry partners that are developing third-party solutions that either build upon or interoperate with CentraSite. By fostering a strong, active and growing ecosystem of complementary products and services, Fujitsu and Software AG make it easier and faster for enterprises to implement end-to-end approaches to SOA.

"Industry leaders recognize their support for CentraSite ensures their solutions can be positioned to best capitalize on the shift to SOA," said Ryosuke Mori, executive vice president, Software and Strategy, at Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation. "For customers, the CentraSite Community helps to eliminate the complexity and uncertainty inherent in heterogeneous environments. With our newest initiative, we're working to deliver more assured performance out-of-the-box as a means to simplify adoption of broader SOA solutions. This will allow projects to go into production faster and with less risk so they can begin to pay a dividend even sooner."

As a standards-based organization, the CentraSite Community has committed to expanding the role of existing standards within current implementations. Under a new initiative, the community has begun to catalogue and evaluate the specific processes, protocols and best practices used to maintain interoperability within a CentraSite-governed SOA. In order to ensure mission-critical performance, each proposed solution will also be eligible for testing and certification via the CentraSite Community SOA Governance Interoperability Testing Center.

"We recognized early on that the challenge of delivering a community-supported SOA Governance suite requires standards to drive interoperability and best practices to enable integration," said Bj�rn Brauel, vice president and deputy CTO, Software AG. "By extending interoperability towards a true federation and interoperability framework enables our customers to benefit from the most efficient and best integrated set of governance tools available. This is in accordance with the growing importance that distributed systems play in delivering a truly comprehensive SOA governance solution."

Driven by growing, worldwide adoption of CentraSite as an enterprise standard for SOA governance, the CentraSite Community has expanded significantly in order to support these more diverse requirements. New members span a number of key disciplines, including leaders in enterprise architecture and business modeling, composite application development, SOA management and testing, and strategic consulting markets.

"We're honored by the number of industry leaders that have chosen to align themselves with the open CentraSite Community. For example, all of the leading enterprise architecture platforms now support CentraSite," said Ivo Totev, chief marketing officer, Software AG. "Working with members of the CentraSite Community, enterprises can quickly and confidently create end-to-end SOA solutions based on true federation and open standards. By focusing on out-of-the-box interoperability, we can deliver measurable benefits that reduce the time and cost of implementation."
