Gartner recently announced its "Magic Quadrant for Application Infrastructure for Back-End Application Integration Projects, 2Q07" and positioned Sun in the Leaders Quadrant. Back-end integration is a critical aspect of a company's IT and business strategy and Sun has been helping many organizations, from healthcare to financial services to manufacturing, connect business processes and IT systems, share data that was previously isolated, and benefit from real-time business insight.
The foundation of Sun's business integration offering is Sun Java(TM) Composite Application Platform Suite (Java CAPS), which helps organizations develop, deploy and manage their service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) needs. Java CAPS meets the needs of enterprises that require combined integration, BPM and SOA for complex environments.
