PR Newswire (US)
Joint Offering Leverages Both Company's Resources to Provide
Enterprises With a Fixed-Fee, Turnkey Alternative to Maintaining
Systems In-House ATLANTA, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Integration World
2005 -- webMethods, Inc. (NASDAQ:WEBM), a leading business
integration and optimization software company, and Tata Consultancy
Services (TCS), a leading global IT services provider, today
jointly introduced a turnkey, fixed-fee and SLA-backed service for
outsourcing the production support and maintenance requirements
associated with maintaining an enterprise's webMethods Fabric(TM)
implementation. By minimizing or eliminating these operational
requirements, enterprises can lower their total cost of ownership
while improving the performance and predictability that these
systems deliver. The announcement was made at webMethods' annual
user conference, Integration World, where TCS is serving as a
premier-level, Platinum sponsor of the event. "Having worked
closely with webMethods for a number of years to ensure the success
of every one of our customer's webMethods implementations, we're
delighted by the opportunity to extend this partnership to the
continuing support of these critical resources," said Dr. Santosh
Mohanty, global head of TCS' Business Intelligence, Knowledge
Management and Enterprise Application Integration practice. "By
making best use of the specialized resources of each company, we
can provide enterprises with a fully integrated offering that is
unmatched in the expertise, responsiveness and value that it
delivers." Leveraging state-of-the-art operations centers, TCS and
webMethods will continuously monitor on a 24/7 basis the health and
performance of a client's webMethods implementation. Using the best
practices and proven methodologies of both companies, systematic
requirements for maintaining these systems can be met in a more
programmatic and efficient manner with additional resources readily
available to address any contingency. This new offering helps
enterprises reduce the specialized resources typically maintained
to support ad-hoc requirements as well as the additional resources
often required to continually monitor system performance, both of
which represent a significant cost to the enterprise. With a
dedicated team committed to proactively maintaining system
performance, enterprises also benefit from improved reliability and
predictability, and can take advantage of both companies' unique
resources to further improve and enhance performance. "One of the
biggest challenges confronting most organizations is the cost
associated with maintaining their IT operating environments," said
Richard Chiarello, COO, webMethods, Inc. "As a result, resources
and funds that could be used to enhance the business are often
delegated to routine maintenance despite the fact that these
requirements could often be met more efficiently using alternative
approaches. By partnering with TCS, we're able to offer customers
the benefit of their extensive experience in IT outsourcing as well
as the economies of scale that they can uniquely offer due to their
global reach. By blending these resources with our own, we can
seamlessly address the continuing maintenance and other operational
support requirements of our client's webMethods Fabric environment
with in-house IT teams freed to address additional line-of-business
needs as a result." The new offering builds upon the two companies'
existing strategic alliance for implementation and consulting
services for webMethods Fabric. In doing so, it takes full
advantage of the unmatched resources of both companies, which
include the unique expertise of webMethods' professional services
organization along with the additional resources of TCS, including
the significant real-world best practices and operational insight
that the company has secured through numerous webMethods
implementations as well as its position as one of the world's
leading providers of IT outsourcing services. About webMethods,
