Oracle on Tuesday announced its plans to acquire ClearApp , a California-based company that develops software for managing the performance of composite applications in service oriented architecture (SOA).
The ClearApp deal is Oracle’s latest move in its continued effort to create a suite of application management tools by assimilating technologies from different vendors.
Service oriented architecture unifies business processes by organizing large applications as an ad hoc collection of smaller modules called services. These applications can be used by different people within and outside a company. New applications can be built from a mix of services from the global pool to provide greater flexibility and uniformity to the system.
