On November 17th, 2005, BEA, IBM, IONA Technologies, Oracle, SAP and Siebel announced an effort to develop new standards and resulting collaborative technologies to simplify how customers develop and implement applications in a Service Oriented Architecture. With these technologies, customers will be able to more easily create new and transform existing IT assets into reusable services that may be rapidly adapted to changing business requirements. Further, these new technologies greatly reduce complexity associated with developing applications by providing a way to unify these services regardless of the programming languages they were written in and the platforms used to run them.
