Seagull Software's LegaSuite now Integrates with CentraSite
 TMCnet Contributing Editor
Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation, a vendor of business process management and service-oriented architecture, and Seagull Software, which sells software to transform legacy business applications, has announced that CentraSite now integrates with LegaSuite, Seagull's flagship product.
Under a cooperative marketing program agreement, Seagull Software can refer CentraSite to customers through its various channels. CentraSite is the industry's only vendor-neutral, standards-based SOA registry and repository.
In September, Seagull Software announced it had become a strategic sponsor of the CentraSite Community, and the referral agreement and integration are the first steps resulting from that sponsorship.
The integration of CentraSite with LegaSuite, according to Seagull officials, means that companies creating an SOA can "expose their legacy assets to their entire corporate development community, as well as the global development community."
Fujitsu and Seagull Software are among 22 sponsors that contribute to the CentraSite Community, which can be accessed at www.CentraSite.com.
Don Addington, CEO and president of Seagull Software, explained that CentraSite enables services to be "effectively managed and made available for reuse." The benefit for customers, he sees, is that as they build out their SOA infrastructure, "they can minimize the risk in migrating to a SOA environment by maximizing the reuse of their proven, legacy applications."
About a month ago Seagull Software announced that SVB Silicon Valley Bank extended to the company a $4 million revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes in support of Seagull Software's business plans.
This new credit facility replaces a $2 million working capital line of credit established in 2004. The company has not used either line of credit to date, but company officials say they're "pleased to have this resource" at their disposal.
Earlier the company reported that the LegaSuite 5.0 platform has been certified to run on the SAP (News - Alert) NetWeaver platform, earning the “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” qualification. With LegaSuite, legacy applications become standard SOA services that can be invoked by SAP NetWeaver, and these services can now be accessed through the SAP NetWeaver Portal.
