Seagull Software (AEX: SEAGULL), a leading provider of high-performance solutions that transform legacy business applications into service-oriented architecture (SOA) assets, announced it has joined the Vienna, Virginia-based Integration Consortium.

Founded in 2001, the Integration Consortium realized a need for collaboration among end users, software vendors and academics to provide knowledge advancement, education and thought leadership while promoting standards-based best practices for the integration industry. Today, the Integration Consortium consists of 75-plus members worldwide representing a wide array of experts in the integration marketplace. The non-profit consortium also has chapters in Europe, UK, Scandinavia, Middle East and APAC.

“In today's IT environment, Service Oriented Architecture plays an essential role in integrating application systems but legacy mainframe solutions can be particularly challenging” said John Schmidt, Chairman of the Integration Consortium. “As a major integration solution provider within the Integration Consortium, Seagull Software’s expertise and vision in transforming “legacy” applications into SOA-compliant Web services will help guide consortium initiatives and ensure that enterprise integration solutions and activities address the full spectrum of integration requirements.”

“Seagull Software is teaming with an organization that represents the core of our legacy integration business,” said Kim Addington, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Seagull Software. “Providing IT with the essential tools to rapidly transform mainframe business processes into SOA-compliant Web services while adhering to governance requirements is Seagull Software’s specialty.”

Seagull Software’s membership in the Integration Consortium will afford joint marketing opportunities in the areas of speaking opportunities at recognized industry conferences, seminars and Web casts. The company will also contribute to the consortium’s knowledge repository of integration articles, whitepapers and case studies.
