The message is: Build in .NET and be able to embrace more services, applications, resources and data.

Dovetail Software’s platform is .NET, as many of you know. We wrote our applications from scratch to run on .NET, precisely because of the ease of integration and rapid development this platform affords. Like Microsoft, we’ve been quietly developing our software (in policy if not in code) according to SOA principles for a long time now. Our architecture allows users of Clarify™ data to create hybrid applications, for example, using Web services for customized data access.

One of our customers who deployed our SDK development platform reports satisfaction in using the Dovetail Web Services because of its ability to “Respond to Market Changes Quickly”. They also praised WebLogic/SOAP/.NET because of its ability to connect with multiple databases and systems to obtain customer information such as loyalty points, service order history, etc. Essentially they can provide each of their agents a portal view across multiple customer data sources.

We developed our applications because we believe that Amdocs is ill equipped to service the evolving needs of the Clarify install base for thin clients, Web portals, and remote data access. But there are two sides to the SOA coin.
