Software AG today unveiled a major update to its webMethods
product suite at its ProcessWorld event in the USA. Extending its
fully independent integration layer, webMethods 9.0 focuses on
uniting the management of Big Data from any source with automated
business processes and applications deployed in the cloud, on
mobile devices or in-house. By combining In-memory, Cloud, Mobile
and Social technologies, webMethods 9.0 allows customers to have
micro-second access to huge amounts of data, distributing the
relevant information to any device and providing the required level
of business responsiveness to successfully react to new business
opportunities.
“The efficient management of Big Data offers unprecedented
business opportunities to enterprises that react fast enough to
take advantage of them”, said Karl-Heinz Streibich, CEO of Software
AG. “With webMethods 9.0, Software AG has taken a
major step in enabling enterprises gain a real competitive
advantage and fully address these opportunities”.
Addressing Big Data with In-memory technology
webMethods 9.0 is now tightly integrated with Terracotta,
a leading in-memory technology for enterprise Big Data. Terracotta,
with over one million deployments and used by over two million
developers, brings unsurpassed scalability to webMethods customers.
webMethods 9.0 now enables local or distributed data caching
providing higher performance and fault tolerance. webMethods
9.0 can also process very large XML documents directly
in-memory increasing performance and reducing programming
complexity.
“People want the real-time access that in-memory solutions can
provide. Business data is growing at an incredible rate, and
organizations across all countries and industries have to face the
challenge of scaling up their data infrastructure to meet this new
pressure,” said Nathaniel Rowe, research analyst, Aberdeen Group.
“Aberdeen’s research into Big Data has shown that organizations
with in-memory computing were not only able to analyze larger
amounts of data in less time than their competitors - they were
literally orders of magnitude faster.”
Integrating Cloud applications with any IT
infrastructure
Delivering on Software AG’s cloud strategy of being the leader
in solutions that allow the mix and match of on-premise and cloud
applications, webMethods CloudStreams is a new product that
allows customers to easily and efficiently integrate SaaS
applications such as Salesforce.com with other on-premise and other
SaaS applications, and govern their integration. With webMethods
Command Central, also a new product, customers can now
provision and control functionality to streamline deployment
options in hybrid cloud environments.
“Our collaboration with webMethods and Software AG has helped
provide the right tools and expertise to help us transform our
business processes, not only increasing productivity and
efficiency, but also increasing our opportunities for innovation”,
said Jag Ramaswamy, Senior Manager, Global Enterprise Integration
at Coca-Cola Refreshments.
Mission Critical Mobile Applications
The new webMethods Mobile Suite provides a high level of
security for interactive mobile applications. Organizations can
quickly build and distribute mobile applications, allowing only
authorized users and devices on their networks and preventing
malicious threats. Employees, customers and trading partners can
now interact with the enterprises’ IT systems from anywhere in a
secure distributed environment.
Social Collaboration – Fast Reactions to Business
Needs
Social collaboration is emerging in response to the need to
react faster to changing business circumstances. It has
dramatically changed the way people connect, communicate and
collaborate with peers, and is impacting the way companies improve
their business performance. The new webMethods Pulse brings
real-time information and event streams to the right stakeholders
enabling collaborative actions and responses. This is done
instantly, independent of location or preferred device.
“Avnet found the right integration suite—and the right partner.
Software AG has proven to be a visionary when it comes to
innovation, to consistently standing behind its products and to
supporting Avnet’s mission-critical business at a moment’s notice.
By enabling a paradigm shift in the way Avnet’s IT performs
integration, Software AG has enabled IT to bring greater value to
the business through its integration suite, faster,” said Ayman
Taha, Director – Enterprise Solutions Integration, Avnet.
