ZapThink Publishes Report on SOA Company TenFold

August 17, 2006; 04:08 AM

TenFold Corporation, provider of the EnterpriseTenFold platform for rapidly building enterprise-scale SOA-compliant applications, announced the findings of an independent report on EnterpriseTenFold SOA, a development platform for building Service-Oriented Business Applications (SOBA's) without programming. 

The new report was written by ZapThink, a leading IT research and advisory firm specializing in XML, Web Services, and Service Orientation. The report concludes that TenFold offers companies a model-driven approach to composite application creation with the EnterpriseTenFold SOA tool, providing a rapid, iterative approach to dynamic application creation that enables business users to model their requirements and then render the desired application, minimizing the need for writing any programming code.

"ZapThink's research report confirms that TenFold addresses one of the greatest challenges of implementing a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is forming the service-oriented business applications by composing services," said Robert Felton, TenFold's Chairman, President, and CEO. "With our core technology, EnterpriseTenFold SOA, which provides a rapid, iterative approach to building applications, customers can save 90% on their development and maintenance costs as our technology makes service creation simple, flexible, and business-focused."

The report is now available at www.tenfold.com. Here are some highlights of ZapThink's findings:

    *  EnterpriseTenFold SOA is a Service-Oriented Business Application
       (SOBA) creation tool that provides a model-driven approach to
       composite application development.
    *  EnterpriseTenFold SOA enables business users to define an application
       declaratively, then render it, automatically producing
       service-oriented applications.
    *  EnterpriseTenFold SOA automatically produces Web Services compatible
       with J2EE, .NET, or any Enterprise Service Bus.
    *  The TenFold Way is a methodology for building enterprise-scale SOBA's
       as a collection of reusable services.
    *  EnterpriseTenFold SOA includes Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX)
       in browser transactions without AJAX-related development costs.  TenFold's
       methodology, the TenFold Way, is a full-lifecycle methodology for
       building enterprise-scale applications as a collection of reusable services.
    *  Because EnterpriseTenFold SOA removes the need for programming,
       customers can build an application at 10% to 20% of the cost and time
       of traditional development approaches.
    *  Since there is no code to maintain in a TenFold-powered application,
       maintenance costs are 90% lower than applications built with
       traditional tools.
