A good new never arrives alone.

This month Pymma is pleased to announce two very good news.

KBC bank and Pymma consulting Partnership

After few months of partnership, we are pleased to announce our collaboration with the Belgium bank KBC on one of the most important Java CAPS projects in Europe. Pymma has been chosen by KBC as external Open ESB/Java CAPS expert to train its teams, to advice them about Java CAPS good practice and to propose technical solutions on the new technologies brought along with JBI and Java CAPS. We hope this partnership will be fruitful and successful for the two partners.

Pymma Open ESB community Partner

The second good news has been published last week by Sun Microsystems: Pymma consulting is officially Open ESB community Partner. We are proud to be the first company selected not on our ability to develop JBI components but on our expertise on Open-ESB consulting and training. This agreement results from lot of work from our part but also from the part of the Open-ESB team in London. I would like to thank Mike http://blogs.sun.com/mikesblog/) and particularly Louis http://blogs.sun.com/polyblog that support us during the last months.

Is SOA is dead (the debate)?

In that time where services and SOA architectures are denigrated, we would like to remind you that four years ago, the same company (http://www.burtongroup.com/) predicted the end of the J2EE platform and the same fate for .Net . Nonetheless, the polemic on Internet on this topic is important and expresses a trouble in the IT community with SOA. I hope I’ll have time in a next post, to comment this situation and break down the reasons for this trouble. However, at Pymma, we think that architectures relying on essential concepts like intermediation (contract of service and bus) have a promising future. The open ESB family (Open ESB, Glassfish ESB and Java CAPS) allows us to design and develop this type of architecture. It's for this reason that our customers decide to invest with us in these technologies.

See you soon
