CHENNAI, DEC 11, 2002

Vergil Technology (P) Limited, a technology company in the emerging Service Oriented Development of Applications" market segment and focused on delivering mission critical software solutions in the enterprise Software Integration market segment, announced today the availability of its Vergil Orchestration Suite" -- a Web Services Orchestration Suite based on emerging Web Services standards.

Vergil is focused on providing solutions through a portfolio of pre-packaged products and components, which are part of a Web Services Solution framework that Vergil develops and owns through its focus on the J2EE/Web Services technologies. This Web Services Orchestration Suite is one of the components of a standards based framework for integration of existing data, process logic between applications within and between enterprises, and deploying dynamic business processes thus enabling enterprises to be agile and customer-oriented. This solution framework from Vergil is based on industry standards such as J2EE, JCA, JMS, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI.

N. Shekar, C.O.O, Vergil Technology (P) Limited said, Enterprises are today held captive by their investments in various EIS and legacy systems that hold their business logic and data. As these enterprises continue to adopt new business models, the gap between business needs and the technology implementation widens dramatically due to lag in implementation of any new solution. With the evolving standards based approach and a service oriented architecture Enterprises can today be agile through rapid deployment of new business processes with very little or no development time and cost. The Vergil Orchestration Suite is a critical part to such an approach by providing a enterprise ready platform to orchestrate new business logic simply through a visual composition of existing Web Services within and outside the enterprise firewall, deploying and executing the new business logics in a J2EE platform. The Web Services standards based Orchestration Suite from Vergil is yet another proof of commitment to our standards based solutions and helping our customers address productivity issues, leverage legacy systems and software infrastructure."
