WebLayers Positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant for SOA Governance Technology Sets Magic Quadrant

Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision
and Ability to Execute

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – January 4, 2008 – WebLayers™ Inc., the market leader for automated Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) governance, announced today that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the visionaries quadrant in the “Magic Quadrant for Integrated SOA Governance Technology Sets, 2007”.

According to the Gartner report, “Good governance of an SOA is now becoming a critical core
competency. The market for SOA governance is a varied one, with many different types of products providing support for governing the behavior of an SOA. In short, SOA governance is about ensuring and validating that assets and artifacts within the architecture are operating as expected and maintaining a certain level of quality. This Magic Quadrant reduces the market to one set of technologies with strong architectural cohesion (integration) promoting ease of use and interoperability of products.”

Gregg Bjork, CEO of WebLayers, believes that WebLayers’ singular focus on automating SOA Governance through Policy Management has provided a significant advantage to its customers.

“We are proud to be recognized in the visionaries quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant on SOA Governance Technology Sets,” said Bjork. “2008 is the year of Policy Management as the mainstream market begins to understand the critical importance of a vendor-neutral, independent Policy Management solution that starts in design-time and is enforced consistently throughout the entire lifecycle.”

In an earlier Gartner report, Gartner stated, “Governance is a larger issue than just operational management through registries or policy or quality assurance. However, the market growth has most often occurred around these specific technology capabilities. Customers seeking to start an SOA project should demand that potential vendors demonstrate support for registry/repository and policy management, at a minimum, to ensure proactive governance of service can begin at project inception.”
