Software AG announced a new product called Software AG Cloud Ready, which includes modeling, process management, service-oriented architecture, and cloud integration offerings. Software AG Cloud Ready—with general availability in the third quarter of 2011—is designed to bring business and technical stakeholders together to collaborate on process transformation quickly, and at a lower cost.

“As more organizations embrace SaaS and cloud-based solutions, the need to integrate cloud applications and data with on-premise applications grows,” said Dr. Wolfram Jost, chief technology officer and member of the executive board, Software AG. “Software AG supports this ‘leave and leverage’ approach by offering both integration and governance capabilities between any application residing on any platform. In addition our ARIS and webMethods customers will have the option to deploy our unified platform in the cloud, on-premises or with a hybrid of these scenarios.”

Software AG Cloud Ready includes process design and strategy, process management, integration and governance in the cloud. Users of webMethods BPMS, SOA, and integration have the option to run their development, test, and production environments in the cloud, reducing the time to market and allowing for dynamic provisioning. ARIS users benefit from broad collaboration during the design, simulation, publishing and monitoring phases of process transformation projects. And when combined, webMethods and ARIS bring IT and business together for faster strategic advancement across the enterprise.

Software AG Cloud Ready also allows organizations to collaborate over the full process improvement lifecycle, from process strategy and design to implementation and execution, through monitoring and refinement for continuous improvement. It also provides governance across the entire lifecycle, ensuring that process and system changes are safely planned with full impact analysis and change management assessments.
