Q&A

Java CAPS delivers the best TCO...

• SOA ‘out of box’> No Extra integration coding/wrapping for delivering

SOA solutions

• Open ‘Inside and Out’> No Vendor Tie-in, Lowers Risk

• Full Product Suite> Reduce Costs, Speeds Implementation

• Single Unified Product Suite> One Dev Tool, mgmt Tool, Deployment/Runtime,

Repository = Lower TCO for mixed integration styles
