What's
in a name
It
is perhaps one of the more surprising aspects of the development of SOA
in user consciousness that some smart company had not already snaffled
those three letters and put them in a company name. There are even those
that might argue it as being a rather short-sighted attempt to garner
more glory by association with the generic terminology. Be that as it
may a US company, Digital Evolution, has seen the opportunity and seized
it. The company, which operates in the SOA and Web services management,
security and governance space, has changed its name to SOA Software.
The
company states that the change was made to better reflect the company's
mission and ability to provide products and services to help enterprises
deploy, manage and secure SOAs. Its SOA fabric solution includes a Service
Manager, plus Registry and XML VPN products. By enabling companies to
manage and secure Web services and mitigate security policy enforcement
challenges, SOA Software delivers a SOA Governance solution. www.soa.com
