“We’re seeing that Systinet is gaining some significant traction with both end users and vendors in that they, like a handful of others focused Web services and SOA [service-oriented architecture] vendors, are providing focused solutions that help companies realize the benefits of Web services and SOA without having to make significant infrastructure investments that they might have to with some of the more ‘established’ vendors in the marketplace,” said Ronald Schmelzer, an analyst with ZapThink LLC, of Waltham, Mass. “This deal is very much a win-win for both parties as it increases both of their capabilities to reach new customers with emerging Web services and SOA solutions.
