Composite Software, a provider in service oriented architecture (SOA) data services, recently announced it received the highest level of certification from The Linthicum Group’s SOA Technology Validation and Verification Program. The program’s rigorous evaluation and testing process ensures vendors’ SOA solutions live up to their claims by providing the necessary components for optimal SOA implementation.

Composite Software provides data services technology, a critical element of a fully functional SOA. Data services are used to access, combine and virtualize underlying data sources. These data services then deliver information in the form of standards-based Web services to be consumed by any application requiring the information from existing systems throughout an enterprise.

“Data is one of the most critical components of enterprise computing and is often overlooked in a SOA implementation,” said David Linthicum, CEO of The Linthicum Group. “The result is enterprises are able to service-enable the critical data from their existing systems. Composite’s offering allows customers to bring forward data from their existing systems and easily integrate it into new, service-oriented environments. This is exactly what customers need to rapidly, yet intelligently make the most of SOA.”
