Syclo Accepted into the IBM SOA Specialty
Hoffman Estates, Ill. – May 31, 2007 – Syclo, a leading provider of mobile technology, announced today its acceptance into the IBM SOA Specialty after successfully completing IBM’s rigorous SOA technical and business requirements. With this achievement, Syclo’s Agentry™ mobile platform integrates with the IBM software and strategy for SOA.
“SOA is an increasingly important business requirement for organizations because of the business flexibility it enables,” said Sandy Carter, vice president, SOA and WebSphere, IBM Software Group. “Syclo’s commitment to SOA provides their customers with a powerful way to reduce integration costs while rapidly deploying cost-effective mobile solutions across their organizations.”
Syclo’s Agentry mobile platform application is designed to bring critical information to thousands of users at the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO). Compliance with SOA standards enables Syclo’s mobile applications to immediately link to all SOA-compliant data sources and systems. This allows data from various sources to be easily integrated with enterprise applications, third-party portals and process management systems.
Increasingly, organizations worldwide are recognizing the cost savings associated with using mobile technology to streamline operations, increase customer satisfaction and improve top line revenues. Syclo’s Agentry mobile applications use SOA-based web services to capture transactions from key operational systems, and utilizes XML and WSDL standards to process data and metadata definitions. While making integration seamless, Agentry also simplifies enterprise mobile software deployment and manages the complexities of mobile.
“Support for SOA is critical to reducing the cost and time of deployment for mobile applications, as they need to integrate disparate data and interoperate with other applications,” said Richard Padula, president and chief executive officer of Syclo. “SOA compliance also enables Syclo to provide proven, best-of-breed mobile solutions to our partners such as IBM, who can take our platform development environment and build solutions for their customers.”
