Ascential Supports IBM's WebSphere Application Server 5

Ascential Software Corporation, an enterprise data integration leader, announced support for IBM WebSphere Application Server 5.0. The combination of Ascential Enterprise Integration Suite and Real-Time Integration (RTI) Services with WebSphere delivers advanced technology solutions to power the real-time enterprise.

Integrating the Ascential Software Enterprise Integration Suite and IBM's WebSphere Application Server make the real-time enterprise a reality; enabling users to take advantage of reliable, accurate and current information available from anywhere across the enterprise, at any time, to drive strategic business initiatives. Harnessing the benefits of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), solutions from Ascential Software eliminate concerns about data sources, quality, volumes and latency, enabling customers to leverage information across strategic applications such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM).

"Over the last several years, we have been delivering high-performance, mission-critical data integration solutions in a number of industries, including financial services, by tapping the strength of IBM's DB2 Universal Database and WebSphere MQ," said Ascential Software Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Mike Cassettari. "WebSphere is a powerful foundation that enables customers to efficiently deploy the Ascential Enterprise Integration Suite and Ascential RTI Services."

Through support for interoperability standards such as Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), Java Messaging Service (JMS), and Web services, the Ascential Software Enterprise Integration Suite and Real-Time Integration Services deliver the benefits of in-flight data integration capabilities for other common enterprise integration solutions, including business process integration (BPI), enterprise application integration (EAI), and enterprise information integration (EII).

"Working with companies like Ascential to provide complementary solutions for IBM WebSphere software is part of our commitment to deliver leading-edge e-business integration solutions," said Tom Inman, vice president of WebSphere Foundation & Tools at IBM Software. "Ascential is delivering a solution that will benefit customers through increased operational efficiencies, strengthened customer loyalty and integrated disparate systems."
