Kapow Technologies has announced its support for a new Service Infrastructure initiative introduced by BEA Systems, Inc. designed to help increase business agility while reducing IT cost and complexity.  The Kapow RoboSuite is a Web Integration platform that is uniquely designed to use the Web front-end as the interface point for non-programmatic rapid Web Service enablement of legacy web applications to be deployed in the BEA Service Infrastructure.
 
BEA's Service Infrastructure initiative includes a family of products being developed to help companies manage the service oriented architecture (SOA) lifecycle and swiftly assemble composite applications and processes in heterogeneous environment so they can move from pilot stage with SOA to full enterprise-wide production. 

The visual Kapow RoboSuite platform can add value to a Service Infrastructure by being designed to create web services of legacy applications and packaged systems without rewriting required. This gives access to systems that are either not within scope or too complex to convert to Web Services within the traditional boundaries.

"Our alliance with Kapow Technologies is part of BEA's initiative designed to continually help customers manage SOA based environments and improve business agility and efficiency," said Gail Ennis, vice president of Worldwide Alliances. "The  use of Web Integration to convert legacy applications into Web Services is a core component in our Service Infrastructure and in moving projects from pilot to production."
 
Over the last two years, BEA and Kapow Technologies have collaborated in delivering portlets and content into the WebLogic portal framework.  "We are very enthusiastic about BEA's strategy to move clients faster to a production environment. Our fast visual platform is thus a natural component in the Service Infrastructure strategy that BEA lays out" says Stefan Andreasen, CEO and Founder, Kapow Technologies. "The fact we fit into both the BEA portal, content and now Web Services offerings substantiate the broad value, Web Integration deliver to BEA clients."
