Software AG, T-Mobile Ink Deal on SOA Partnership
In an announcement T-Mobile, a provider of wireless voice, messaging, and data services, said that it has signed a global SOA partnership agreement with Software AG, a provider of Business Infrastructure Software. Under this agreement, T-Mobile will accelerate the introduction of new products and tariffs on the basis of Software AG’s technologies for Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and business process management (BPM).
A very crucial aspect of the agreement is the establishment of a joint competence center in Bonn and Darmstadt, Germany, that will include IT architects and leading research and development employees from both companies who will work closely together on the implementation of the SOA/BPM strategy.
The agreement was concluded with TMobile International and covers Germany and the Netherlands, Austria, the UK, and the Czech Republic. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
