Business Wire
Software AG today announced that it has been named a Leader
in the April 2011 report, The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise
Architecture Management Suites, Q2 2011 report receiving top scores
in overall strategy, product architecture and market presence. In
evaluating vendors, Forrester Research, Inc. looked at Enterprise
Architecture (EA) tools of the third generation with capabilities
across the entire EA management lifecycle and noted a Leader offers
“the most-advanced EA tools evolving into the new EAMS market.”
Forrester further stated: “An EAMS centralizes the most-strategic
information on IT and the business.” In this report, Forrester
evaluated Software AG’s ARIS Platform.
Citing Software AG as “the vendor with the strength to be
successful in this market,” Forrester highlighted key features that
landed Software AG in the Leader category of EAMS and that reflect
the capabilities of the ARIS portfolio, including:
- “Software AG promises the best business
connection to EAMS.”
- “The combination of Software AG’s
product and service arm provides the vendor with the strength to be
successful in this market, with differentiators including the
business orientation the company is known for, ties to Software
AG’s SOA platform, and the company’s metadata strategy with
CentraSite.”
“We welcome the recognition by Forrester that places Software AG
in a leader position so that organizations can see the value of our
technology,” said Dr. Wolfram Jost, Chief Technology Officer and
Member of the Executive Board, Software AG. “The strong belief in
EA as the glue between the merging topics of BPM and SOA led
Software AG to be the top-ranked vendor in strategy and market
presence. The proven capabilities of our ARIS Platform in
enterprise architecture management, especially in alignment of
business goals with IT strategy and operations, are key elements
customers have come to depend on.”
Software AG’s ARIS platform enables customers to plan, visualize
and evaluate processes, applications, technologies, data and
organizations through a central repository. The consistent
integration of all information means that architecture elements can
be reused across the enterprise for planning, design and
development of solution scenarios. All involved parties of an
organization, from senior management to operational managers, are
supported by stakeholder-oriented viewpoints to facilitate their
daily work.
Software AG’s integrated EAMS solution contains a rich Meta
model with broad EA reference content, providing a foundation on
which to structure and relate the variety of information that is
essential to involved stakeholders. ARIS also has the ability to
exchange information with a range of products, including
development tools and integration middleware. By providing rich
modeling and BPA capabilities, ARIS is ideally suited for
organizations that want to use the same tool for EA and BPA to
efficiently manage their IT and align it with business needs.
Software AG’s service repository, CentraSite, is also a core
component of its EAMS solution. CentraSite allows organizations to
develop, store and manage SOA services. Used in combination with
the EA capabilities of the ARIS Platform, a professional service
portfolio management can be established to plan the lifecycle of
SOA services and to connect them to business processes.
