The area of business integration is a fast growing market, driven by the globalization of business, mergers and acquisitions, and the fundamental business requirements to reach out and maintain new customers, partners and suppliers. In this rather new and still maturing market, technology and standards are changing faster than in other areas. Integra8 Consulting’s (I8C’s) mission is for their customers to get the most out of their integration investments, by offering them the best skills and up-to-date knowledge possible, in the state-of-the-art technologies that are used in this area.

I8C architects don’t just stick with the tech-talk! They help their customers with their integration needs from design, implementation to deployment and support. Integr8 Consulting is committed to delivering quality services and providing customer satisfaction. That’s why I8C invested in the introduction of a Quality Management System, which resulted in their ISO9001:2000 certification. This guarantees that they will meet your expectations, as a reliable, efficient and mature partner for your SOA & integration projects.

“CrossVista is very excited to have I8C as a partner.”, says Dan Schirf, Vice President of Sales, CrossVista. “I8C has one of the largest and most experienced Software AG webMethods practices in the Benelux region.

CrossVista was pleased to be invited to present at the webMethods UK User group meeting hosted at Sainsbury’s offices in London today. In addition to presenting a brief overview of CrossVista’s core lifecycle management solution, attendees also got a sneak peak at some new CrossVista features scheduled for release in late Q1 or early Q2 of this year.

For Project Managers

This new “task driven development” functionality expands CrossVista’s current ticket management support into the development side of the application lifecycle. In the near future, project managers will be able to leverage their third party ticket management tools (such as Jira, ClearQuest, HPQualityCenter, Remedy, etc) to assign tickets to one or more developers. Each ticket could represent a new feature under development, a bug that needs to be resolved, and/or some other action that needs to be performed on CrossVista TEAM Server as part of your application lifecycle processes. WebMethods developers will then have access to their personal list of assigned tickets from within CrossVista’s TEAM VCS plugin for webMethods Designer (or CrossVista’s TEAM VCS plugin for webMethods environments that do not leverage webMethods Designer.)

For WebMethods Developers

At the time of checkin, WebMethods Developers will be able to assign their code and/or configuration changes to a particular ticket. CrossVista will manage all of the baselining in the background so developers no longer have to worry about overwriting another developer’s code/configuration changes. Multiple developers will be able to contribute their code to a particular feature in parallel so true concurrent development will become even easier.

For Build Managers

When development on a new feature is complete, the build manager’s job also becomes much easier. Because all of the changes for a particular feature are logically associated with a given ticket within CrossVista, CrossVista can easily compose a patch release representing all of the changes associated with that ticket. Build managers will no longer have to “figure out” which revisions should be included for a particular feature… CrossVista keeps track of it for them. A patch release containing all changes related to a feature can then be promoted/deployed/rolled back independently or incorporated with other patches as part of a larger Release.

Note also that a given patch release can include code and/or configuration changes from IS, TN, Broker, BPM, Optimize, MyWebMethods, etc.

“This new functionality will make it considerably easier for users to organize their code and/or configuration changes as part of the end-to-end lifecycle.” says Dan Schirf, Vice President of Sales at CrossVista. “It also provides the foundation for a wide range of new change management features which we are planning to release later this year.”

CrossVista Inc is pleased to announce the addition of some major new functionality.

CrossVista has released a new Beta version of CrossVista TEAM Server for webMethods. This new version includes an integration to Atlassian’s Jira ticket management solution which makes tickets available for updates from within TEAM Server. CrossVista will soon add support for ClearQuest, HP Quality Center, Remedy, and other ticket management solutions. By integrating to ticket management solutions, CrossVista makes it possible for users to automatically tie requested actions created within the ticket management solution directly to the performance of the requested actions.

In addition, TEAM Server now has the ability to manage Software AG patches for webMethods Integration Server, webMethods Trading Networks, webMethods Broker, webMethods BPM, and MyWebMethods. CrossVista TEAM Server manages all of the baselining and dependencies for the user. With this new functionality in place, CrossVista TEAM Server makes it possible for users to easily manage, deploy, and rollback their Software AG fixes. This functionality can also be used to assist with webMethods upgrade projects.

“Any webMethods user who ever wished there was an easier way to manage their Software AG fixes or upgrade webMethods will quickly understand the benefits of this new approach.”, says Dan Schirf, Vice President of Sales at CrossVista. “Please check back soon as we have plans to extend this functionality into other areas fairly quickly.”
