Oracle to acquire SOA management vendor AmberPoint

To strengthen Fusion Middleware SOA capabilities

Oracle has agreed to acquire service-oriented architecture (SOA) management vendor AmberPoint, which extends its Fusion Middleware SOA capabilities including Oracle SOA suite, SOA governance and enterprise manager.

AmberPoint’s offerings help organisations 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 claims that it will provide customers with Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA offering that helps enhance performance and reduce IT costs through SOA management and business transaction management offerings.

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.”

Financial details of the transaction, which is expected to close in the first half of this year, were not disclosed.
