SOAWorld 2007 Conference & Expo – New York, NY - June 26, 2007 - Nexaweb® Technologies, Inc., provider of the leading standards-based platform for building and deploying Enterprise Web 2.0 (EW2.0) applications, today announced a number of strong supporters from its System Integrator, OEM, and ISV partner network for Nexaweb’s new Web2SOA^TM Program.

Many organizations are reaching an inflection point in their SOA initiatives. They have developed an infrastructure and begun deploying services, but are faced with the challenge of how to go the ‘Last Mile’ and deliver these services to end-users. Nexaweb’s Web2SOA Program ensures that as customers use Nexaweb to develop, deploy and maintain Enterprise Web 2.0 applications that they can quickly and easily leverage existing and future elements of their SOA initiative in the process. The new program encompasses the complete SOA technology landscape including governance, infrastructure, testing, tooling and system integration technology and services.

“Nexaweb’s partners include the very best in the systems integration, ISV and OEM markets,” David McFarlane, COO at Nexaweb. “Their enthusiasm about our Web2SOA Program speaks volumes about the value it can provide their customers and the clarity, productivity, and ROI it will bring to their SOA-oriented initiatives.”

The following are comments from Nexaweb’s partners:

“Many of our customers are turning the corner in their Service-Oriented Architecture implementation, and as a result, their attention is turning to the delivery of services to the end-user,” said Brian Erickson, Managing Vice President – Strategic Technology Solutions, Hitachi Consulting. “To fully reap the benefits of SOA, we are advising our customers to consider solutions such as Nexaweb’s Enterprise Web 2.0 Platform that will allow them to build Service-Oriented Business Applications that make SOA tangible to end-users, while maintaining enterprise control, governance and reliability.”



"Nexaweb enables Enterprise Web 2.0,” said Wayne Ariola, vice president of business development. “This convergence of technologies such as Ajax, Java, Web services, and Service-Oriented Architectures requires a testing solution that is as agile as the Nexaweb platform. Parasoft is excited to be partnering with Nexaweb to assist clients achieve the Enterprise Web 2.0 vision."



“Our customers are looking to us and our partners to help simplify and secure their SOA and Web application deployments,” explained Dimitri Sirota VP Marketing Layer 7 Technologies. “Our partnership with Nexaweb gives customers the ability to deliver rich last-mile client applications for their SOA and Web 2.0 initiatives without compromising security or scalability.”



“The unifying promise of Enterprise Web 2.0 and SOA is data access and availability,” said John Yapaola, COO of Kapow Technologies. “Nexaweb’s Enterprise Web 2.0 solutions allow customers to leverage legacy, Web service, and SOA-oriented data sources to build enterprise-class ‘mash-up’ and composite applications. We’re partnering with Nexaweb to extend EW2.0 applications beyond data located behind firewalls or provided through a service vendor to include publicly available data from the Web. This means developers can now quickly and easily add Web-based data exposed by the Kapow Mashup Server to elements of their EW2.0 application, intern giving users more data to work with and helping them do their job better and faster.”



“While, rich user experience is a given with Enterprise Web 2.0, the technology also enables the end users to experience the benefits delivered by the back-end SOA Implementation,” said Thiru Sivasubramanian, Country Manager, USA, Torry Harris. “This makes Enterprise Web 2.0 a key business tool right from demonstrating the ROI internally to delivering exceptional service to the end customers. We have been working with Nexaweb for about a year now and through our implementations find their product to be extremely ‘developer’ friendly when it comes to learning curve and implementation duration.”



“The line between telephony and IT has blurred steadily over the past few years, and organizations are now aggressively looking at their SOA infrastructure as a means of making interactive communications integral to their applications,” said Sally Bament, VP Marketing, at BlueNote Networks. “This combination has made telephony a service that can now quickly be combined with other SOA services to deliver new, more agile communications-enabled applications, products, and solutions. We’re excited to be partnering with Nexaweb to help customers realize the full potential of their SOA initiatives, and to help them deliver next-generation business applications that improve end-user productivity and customers service.”
