Soamai’s Becubic software is designed to help users to manage issues associated with the modernization and maintenance of enterprise applications. Specifically, IT assets such as source codes and functional and technical programmatic components are inventoried, referenced, and documented. Assets can then be browsed and analyzed via a web front end.
Founded in August 2000, Soamai claims to have about 100 customers including Barclays Bank, Credit Agricole, Credit Commercial de France, Credit Lyonnais and 3 Suisses.
Eric Sommerton, ASG’s VP marketing, said the company is already working on integrating Soamai’s software with its own application development and maintenance tools, and that this work should be ready by the time of the launch of Version 6 of Becubic in the next few months. The company also plans to integrate Becubic with its performance monitoring tools, so that performance errors can be drilled down right to the legacy code causing the problems.
ASG claims to offer security management, applications management, operations management, information management, performance management and infrastructure management, including business re-engineering, systems integration, and systems development. All of these are said to be fully integrated and share a common data model, as well as sharing ASG’s Rochade repository.
Privately held ASG has grown through over 30 acquisitions since it was founded by president and CEO Arthur Allen in 1986. ASG has 900 employees, $169m in annual revenues, 7,000 customer sites, and 18,000 software licenses worldwide. It is headquartered in Naples, Florida. Financial details of the Soamai deal were not disclosed.
