Janeeva accepted into the IBM SOA specialty

Service Oriented Architecture Approach Drives Business Agility and Flexibility

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN - May 24, 2007 - Janeeva, a leading provider of Outsourcing Relationship Management software, today announced its acceptance to the IBM SOA Specialty after successfully completing IBM’s rigorous SOA technical and business requirements. With this achievement, Janeeva Assurance™ 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. “Janeeva’s commitment to SOA provides their customers with a powerful way to reduce implementation and data acquisition challenges, while rapidly deploying operational outsourcing relationship management (ORM) tools.”

Janeeva Assurance™ provides a comprehensive solution for managing complex outsourcing relationships at the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO). Compliance with SOA standards enables Janeeva Assurance™ to readily link to all SOA-compliant data sources and applications, and allows Janeeva’s technology to be easily integrated with third-party portals, customer’s enterprise software and outsourced service provider systems.

Janeeva Assurance™ uses SOA-based web services to receive data from service providers’ systems, and utilizes XML and WSDL standards to process data and metadata definitions. Janeeva Assurance™ is also capable of initiating workflows and processes via web-service calls.

“Support for SOA is critical to reducing the cost and time to deployment for managing outsourcing relationships, as the need to integrate disparate data and interoperate with other applications is vital to the success of an outsourcing relationship. This is classically a time consuming and complex implementation that is now dramatically reduced,” said Vinay Gupta, founder and chief executive officer of Janeeva. “SOA compliance also enables Janeeva to provide a best-of-breed ORM offering to our partners such as IBM, allowing them to embed outsourcing relationship management capabilities in portals and process management tools.”
