HP has announced a comprehensive set of service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance software and services to help companies accelerate SOA adoption and drive increased business value.

In addition, HP announced the expansion of its Governance Interoperability Framework (GIF), for SOA governance interoperability.

"Effective SOA governance requires customers to establish a system of record that provides visibility into the services in their SOA environment, create a relationship of trust between providers and consumers of services, and secure control over which services are built and released into the production environment," said Raymond Lambie, Technical Lead, SOA, HP Software, Asia Pacific & Japan. "We are committed to providing industry-leading SOA governance solutions to drive better business outcomes for our customers."

HP also introduced new services to install and configure HP SOA Systinet and HP SOA Manager.

The HP Governance Interoperability Framework (GIF) is expanding with 10 new partners: Active Endpoints, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, JackBe, Layer7 Technologies, LogicLibary, Nexaweb, Oracle, Sonoa Systems and Vordel.
