| AmberPoint Joins Microsoft Business Process Alliance AmberPoint has expanded its strategic relationship with Microsoft by participating in the Microsoft Business Process Alliance, a select group of ISV partners focused on creating innovative business process management solutions on the Microsoft platform at a lower total cost of ownership. As a result of their expanded relationship, AmberPoint and Microsoft are working together to extend the integration of AmberPoint SOA Management System with Microsoft BizTalk Server. The Microsoft Business Process Alliance is a Microsoft-led initiative to propel mainstream adoption of People-Ready processes by offering customers a set of end-to-end solutions for automating business processes. AmberPoint and Microsoft have established this strategic relationship to ensure that their shared customers are able to fully take advantage of the capabilities of their complementary products for enterprise-class SOA systems and BPM initiatives.

This integration will enable customers of both companies to gain visibility into service interactions within Microsoft BizTalk server, in addition to monitoring and controlling services across distributed, heterogeneous SOA landscapes. This extended support for Microsoft BizTalk Server enables AmberPoint to apply the full range of its capabilities to the latest Microsoft platforms and create integration points into Microsoft's Enterprise Service Bus Guidance.
