Cape Clear Cohesion Partner Program
Market Opportunity
In today’s world, you and your customers have increasing pressure to continuously improve quality of service and overall performance. And yet to do so requires solving some of the most pervasive challenges facing companies today:
- spiraling costs of application development and maintenance
- inflexible solutions resulting in slower time to market and missed opportunities
- increasing complexity of heterogeneous environments
- IT investments that are not delivering on their promise to the business due to poor alignment
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has the potential to address these issues, delivering real business agility at a lower cost of ownership. But SOA is difficult, especially across numerous customers and complex, heterogeneous environments. The good news is that, as SOA has emerged as a truly viable solution for integration, transformation, and messaging across all industries, so have technologies that facilitate adoption of SOA. One of the most important of these SOA-enabling technologies is the Enterprise Service Bus, or ESB.
Why Cape Clear?
Both Forrester and Gartner point to Cape Clear as the leading ESB Platform. Forrester concludes in their most recent Wave report, “Cape Clear continues to lead the enterprise service bus market... The vendor is one of the pioneers in the enterprise service bus (ESB) category and continues to be among the leaders in technology innovation and strategic vision in this space.” And according to Gartner, Cape Clear has captured the largest share of the North American Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) market for the second year in a row.
Cape Clear is the only ESB Platform built for the realities of SOA, delivering greater flexibility and lower TCO. Cape Clear’s ESB Platform was born out of Web services and open standards, and provides all of the critical SOA-enabling technologies around its ESB core.
Because Cape Clear is a fully unified ESB Platform, it offers unparalleled productivity and ease-of-use. It also ensures best practices through, for example, frameworks that promote loose coupling and compliance to industry standards around interoperability.
Unlike alternative SOA platforms, Cape Clear is free from dependencies on specific legacy infrastructure and is designed to support complex heterogeneous environments. This gives you freedom – freedom to leverage any existing application or messaging investments, and freedom to change and evolve your SOA without disrupting your application infrastructure.
And Cape Clear’s ESB can handle whatever you throw at it. This high-performance platform ensures reliability, availability, and scalability for your largest SOA deployments.
