Premier Business Integration Forum Features Ambitious Agenda for
Leveraging IT to Achieve Business Process Improvement ATLANTA, Nov.
15 /PRNewswire/ -- Integration World 2005 -- webMethods, Inc.
(NASDAQ:WEBM), a leading business integration and optimization
software company, today officially opened Integration World 2005,
the company's fourth annual global user conference, which is taking
place this week in Atlanta at the Atlanta Hyatt Regency, with a
call for enterprises to embrace process- centricity in their
operations. With record participation from the company's industry
partners and attendees gathering from around the world, Integration
World is the premier industry forum for charting the value and
opportunity that companies are deriving from business integration.
The conference -- under the theme of Power Your Big Ideas(TM) --
aims to broaden attendees' imaginations on the ways that
integration-enabled business process improvement can help to
overcome the operational obstacles that inhibit corporate
performance. "This year's Integration World will be the most
significant one yet," said David Mitchell, president and CEO,
webMethods, Inc. "Fueled by the increasing maturity of
service-oriented architecture and business process management,
enterprises are extending their definition of business integration
to encompass a process-centric approach that more effectively meet
the needs of the business. Given this important transition, the
timing and customer focus of the conference could not be more
ideal. Ultimately, it is these strong partnerships that we share
with our customers that drive our mutual success. As a result, we
look forward to deepening these relationships over the next several
days as it is the big ideas of our user community that ultimately
inspires us." During the conference, a variety of keynote
presentations, track sessions, interactive programs and networking
events will provide Global 2000 executives with insight into the
technologies, solutions and methodologies available for elevating
the role of integration within their enterprise. As in previous
years, a core focus of these discussions will be how a
service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach facilitates faster,
more responsive, more cost effective and more complete business
integration. Attendees will also gain a first-hand understanding of
integration best practices and will get the benefit of seeing live
demonstrations that show how the combination of Business Process
Management and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) functionality
help to deliver unprecedented real-time operational insight and
enable continuous process improvement. These real-world sessions
will be led by webMethods executives, key industry partners,
recognized industry thought leaders and most importantly, their
peers, including 7-Eleven, ABN AMRO, Dean Foods, Disney, KeyBank,
Sony Pictures Entertainment and Spartan Stores. Integration World
also highlights a solutions-oriented, process-centric approach to
total business integration. This approach is led by webMethods
Fabric(TM), the company's flagship product suite for process-based,
service- oriented total business integration, as well as a number
of additional offerings that build upon this foundation to address
the unique business requirements associated with the financial
services sector, demand-driven manufacturing, multi-channel
retailing, and business compliance. These efforts will be further
reinforced by the significant industry partner presence at the
conference, with partners highlighting complementary solutions
within a variety of industry-specific showcases. "With enterprises
rapidly closing the chapter on an application-centric approach to
IT, this promises to be the most critical meeting for our user
community yet," said Deborah Rosen, executive vice president,
worldwide marketing, webMethods Inc. "As services-oriented
architecture evolves to provide enterprises with the ability to
truly transform their businesses, this is the time for customers to
fully explore all those possibilities. Integration World offers
just that opportunity, and we're thrilled that so many of our
customers are embracing the limitless possibilities offered by a
business-process centric approach to IT." About webMethods, Inc.
