Oracle has agreed to acquire service-oriented architecture (SOA) management firm AmberPoint. The transaction is expected to close the first half of 2010. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
According to Oracle, AmberPoint’s solutions help organizations diagnose and resolve issues in application performance and business transactions, such as insurance claims processing or account provisioning where multiple applications need to work together.
Oracle expects that AmberPoint’s SOA management products further extend its fusion middleware SOA capabilities including Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle SOA Governance and Oracle Enterprise Manager accelerating the resolution of application performance and business transactions issues before the business is impacted.
Thomas Kurian, executive vice president of product development at Oracle, said: “AmberPoint and Oracle share a vision of providing customers with comprehensive SOA management capabilities that support modern IT environments and are also complete, open, and integrated.
“We expect the addition of AmberPoint’s products to Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite will provide stronger end-to-end governance that allows customers to manage the entire lifecycle of SOA-based solutions, providing visibility and management across heterogeneous environments.”
