Repository Manager™ enables enterprises to understand what services and other software assets exist, where they’re located and how each fits into a company’s business and technical landscape. By providing a context for understanding and assessing existing software assets, Repository Manager serves to automate the path to SOA.

Repository Manager’s strong integration with leading application development environments, federation with all major service registries and extensive integration with Policy Manager™ enables customers to rapidly develop, govern and deploy services and their supporting assets within the SOA service lifecycle. Repository Manager is used by Fortune 500 customers to drive application agility and reduce cost and risk in their SOA deployment.

Experience has demonstrated that it is 30 times less expensive to make a modification or enhancement during a software asset’s development versus when that asset is deployed1. The loosely-coupled nature of SOA in particular demands effective development governance, and the most effective way to discover, access and govern services and other software assets is with SOA Software’s Repository Manager.

Repository Manager’s service development governance platform addresses core issues for any SOA project or reuse initiative:

• What legacy assets are needed to facilitate a transformation to SOA?
• How do I leverage my open source, IBM and Microsoft based application development tools as we create, use and manage our services?
• Is there an easy and effective way to manage and govern the multiple repositories that exist in my enterprise?
