KING OF PRUSSIA, PA, Apr 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
Sensedia (www.sensedia.com), a company that specializes in
service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance solutions and the reuse of
software development assets, announced today that leading research firm,
Gartner, Inc., has placed Sensedia in the "Visionaries" quadrant of its
2009 "Magic Quadrant for Integrated SOA Governance Technology Sets."(1)
According to the analysts' market overview in the Magic Quadrant, "a
growing percentage of customers are including SOA governance technologies
in their initial SOA projects." Gartner also states that "customers and
technology providers are putting more emphasis on SOA validation and
monitoring; the latter is seen as critical to monitoring metrics and
measuring success."
The demand for business is always reduced during economic downturns,
causing companies to look inward and question the investments they have
made. It is during these times that proper SOA governance practices matter
the most. By concentrating efforts on organizing and improving the way
applications are developed and clearly defining a SOA governance policy,
IT departments can be far more prepared to meet business needs when the
economy rebounds. In the interim, the business can benefit from the
reduced cost and time-to-market of applications.
"The SOA market is experiencing a tremendous amount of change as industry
insiders speculate about its health and companies seek a new way to
achieve the benefits it promises," said Kleber Bacili, CTO of Sensedia.
"Sensedia is focused on ensuring that its customers are able to measure
the success of their SOA projects and ultimately meet their critical
business objectives."
Sensedia offers quantitative and qualitative metrics to measure reuse
level and calculate the return on investment (ROI) of SOA projects. By
providing its customers with the proper tools needed, Sensedia enables
them to take a tactical approach to achieve critical insight into SOA
implementations.
