Forum Systems announced it has partnered with Techlogix to bring SOA products to markets in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Asia-Pacific. Techlogix will supply Forum Sentry with installation and architecture consulting services to its large customer base across Asia-Pacific and United Arab Emirates.

In United Arab Emirates, many financial institutions and multi-national companies have started adopting SOA for adding efficiencies to their business. UAE companies are some of the most advanced in deploying technology standards in banking and telecom sectors. A healthy economic outlook for the region combined with a desire to create more efficiency in the region’s electronic business processing system has created momentum for SOA.

"We are surprised to see recent interest in the UAE region for SOA," said Mamoon Yunus, CTO, Forum Systems. "The Techlogix and Forum Systems partnership provides a potent combination of SOA architecture and consulting leadership with powerful and affordable SOA products. This combination enables rapid SOA enablement across corporations and their partners."

As pioneers in the Web Services Security and now SOA application delivery arena, Forum Systems has brought to the market the SOA Gateway product, Forum Sentry. Over 15 percent of the Fortune 1000 enterprises have adopted Forum System’s architecture and technology, including the nation’s top e-retailer, Amazon, the top telecommunications company, Motorola, the largest financial services firm, Citigroup, and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

"Forum Systems has a strong reputation for bringing innovative technologies and solutions to companies worldwide," said Salman Akhtar, co-CEO of Techlogix. "As a result of this partnership, we will continue to provide the best SOA gateway product to our customers."
