Fiorano Software Named to SD Times 100 for the Third Consecutive Year

Innovating the Service Component Architecture (SCA) Platform Earns Fiorano the Prestigious Award


LOS GATOS, CA, May 18, 2005 – Fiorano Software, Inc., a leading provider of business integration and enterprise messaging solutions, announced today that the company has been chosen for the third consecutive year to the SD Times 100. This ranking, organized by the editors of the Software Development Times magazine, lists the leading 100 companies and organizations that demonstrated the greatest innovation and leadership in the software development industry over the previous year.

Fiorano Software is recognized as a leader in the Integration and Middleware category for pioneering Service Component Architecture (SCA). SCA unifies SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) and EDA (Event-Driven Architecture) into a single logical framework providing a platform for the development of flexible business applications that can be modified and changed rapidly – allowing enterprises to respond to business change in real-time rather than in “Software development” time as is the case currently. Fiorano's pioneering technology has driven down costs by over 80% in most integration and process management projects.

"The software development industry is led by innovation," said Alan Zeichick, editor-in-chief of BZ Media's SD Times. "When choosing the 2005 SD Times 100, we carefully considered each organization's products and services, reputation with development managers, and the new ideas and thought leadership that it has brought to the industry. Thanks to the SD Times 100 winners, the art of software development continues to advance at a rapid pace.

Zeichick noted that Fiorano Software has been named to the list because of its innovative technology which drives Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) innovation by combining event/trigger and query/response methods.

"We are honored that SD Times has recognized our achievements for the third straight year and proud to be chosen among the leaders and innovators of the industry," said Atul Saini, CEO, Fiorano Software, Inc. “We are committed to leveraging our technologies to provide customers with the most innovative solutions available today for leveraging their existing IT investments," he added.

Fiorano provides a quick path to SOA with a new generation Service Component Architecture platform. Fiorano's SCA allows business processes to be composed, deployed and monitored directly by business analysts with little or no programmer intervention. For over 70% of projects, programming is eliminated entirely, creating a new paradigm in ROI and TCO for small, medium and large businesses alike.
