Progress Acquires Mindreef, Producer of SOA Collaborative Software

As I just reported over at my ZDNet blogsite: I received word that Progress Software -- in the news this week for its acquisition of integration tools vendor IONA -- has also acquired Mindreef, a provider of SOA service validation and testing environments.

MIndreef's value proposition is interesting: it provides a common platform and interface into the entire service lifecycle for any and all professionals involved in developing or using that service. Enterprise architects, integration specialists, developers, and managers alike to collaborate on service design and implementation.

No further details are available other than an FAQ on the Mindreef Website, so this seems to have been a quiet acquisition. (It's unclear even when the acquisition actually happened.) Mindreef says it and Progress will be hosting a Webcast in mid-July to discuss the acquisition, and direction of Mindreef's products, which include the SOAPscope quality and testing line.

Mindreef founder and CTO Frank Grossman is a technology visionary, so Progress is definitely adding a good team to its growing organization.

Thanks to MomentumSI's Jeff Schneider for alerting us to the news.
