Vanguard Technologies Press Release

Vanguard partners with E2E to provide rapid integration solutions

Dublin 30th May 2007 - Vanguard Technologies has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Swiss based E2E Technologies to provide Model Driven Integration solutions based on the E2E Bridge.  The E2E Bridge is an application integration platform that takes UML models of the designed integration and directly executes these models within a UML virtual machine to implement the required integration without any application code.

Suleiman Shehu, Vanguard’s CEO, says that “The E2E Bridge Model Driven Integration approach is an ideal platform to complements Vanguard’s existing offerings in CEP and Model Driven Testing. At Vanguard we are using software models to create significant value for our customers by driving significant increases in customer revenues and large reductions in development and maintenance costs”.

Suleiman Shehu, CEO of Vanguard Technologies went on to say: “Model Driven Integration is a radically new technology which significantly reduces the costs, risks and implementation time normally associated with complex application integration. For the first time, Integration Designers can directly create their integration design models for the integration without the need for costly software development and maintenance. MDI represents a fundamental change in how application integration will be done in the future. Organisations which adopt this technology now will gain a very important competitive advantage”.
Vanguard Technologies will be providing product and Model Driven Integration services and consultancy based upon the E2E Bridge.
