The new Infravio X-registry benefits from Infravio's investment of over 100 man years in SOA Web Services solutions and its involvement with some of the largest and most sophisticated SOA build-outs in the industry. As a result, X-registry directly addresses business, technology, security, governance, and other enterprise-wide design-time issues raised by SOA.

Infravio X-registry addresses the needs of all business and IT players in an SOA Ñ from publishing, documenting and cataloging services for providers to browsing, searching and requesting authorization for use by consumers.

Infravio X-registry provides the controls, approvals, and tracking functions needed to fully govern the Web Services and SOA assets. It also generates an expanded view of the scope, roles, and necessary information to sustain and manage them.

Infravio X-registry helps organizations just starting on the SOA path, as well as those pushing the SOA envelope. For example, companies with numerous value chain dependencies will find that Infravio X-registry enables the SOA design needed to effectively expose backend infrastructure applications to affiliates, partners, and resellers. By incorporating service users, providers and their relationships in the metadata model for Web Service Delivery Contracts, Infravio provides rich business functionality through a powerful configuration interface.
