Dec. 6--HOLLIS -- Mindreef Inc. can now help workers using a variety of computer platforms collaborate as they diagnose, test and support a variety of Web services.
MindReef unveiled its new product Monday at an application integration and Web services conference, according to company officials.
The company based the new product on what its customers, who use SOAPscope debugging software, told them they wanted in a collaborative product.
Former employees of Nashua's NuMega Labs, which in 1997 was bought by Compuware Corp, started MindReef in 2000. NuMega's founders, Frank Grossman and Jim Moskun, jumped aboard Mindreef after the two men advised the company and enjoyed it so much that they invested in it and began working there as well.
"More and more companies are using different systems as they work collaboratively, and the applications they use span a network, say from New York to Chicago to Tokyo," said Grossman. "Coral helps different team members work collaboratively no matter where they are or what type of platform they are using."
Among the customers that are already using Mindreef products are Charles Schwab, Wachovia, Fidelity and National Financial.
"In moving to a Web services-based SOA (service oriented architecture), we've quickly seen the need for more formal communications as our service teams become more distributed. Mindreef Coral provides us with a highly intuitive platform that makes it easy for
team members to work collaboratively as they design, test and support our services," said Chris Brown, Wachovia's vice president and retail senior integration architect, in a prepared statement.
As it is developing new products, Mindreef continues to grow, according to Moskun and Grossman. It now has 17 full-time employees, compared to handful at its inception and both men see plenty of room in the Web services sector for the company to keep growing.
The Radicati Group, a market research company that focuses on the computer and telecommunications industries, has pegged the Web services market to be $6.2 billion by 2008. Radicati includes Web solutions, management, integration and security services in its forecast.
"It is still very early in the Web services industry, it's growing rapidly and that growth is really just starting now," Moskun said.
