Mercury and Systinet to Optimize the Business Outcomes of SOA Applications

Today, Mercury Interactive Corporation (OTC: MERQ), the global leader in business technology optimization (BTO) software, announced it has completed its acquisition of Systinet Corporation. The acquisition of Systinet, a leading provider of service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance and lifecycle management software and services, extends Mercury’s BTO leadership.

On January 9, 2006 Mercury announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Systinet, and the acquisition closed on January 31, 2006.
Systinet SOA products provide a “system of record” that helps provide the visibility, control, quality, and integrity critical to SOA success. Systinet technology, when combined with Mercury BTO Enterprise™ offerings, will help enable customers to take a lifecycle approach to optimizing the quality, performance and availability of SOA business services.

Mercury plans to leverage Systinet products to help customers mitigate the risk to business outcomes of SOA initiatives. Customers will be able to use Mercury and Systinet offerings to deliver predictable, consistent business results from SOA initiatives; provide the control and visibility required to ensure the reuse of business services; and optimize the quality, performance and availability of SOA applications.
