GridScope was founded on a vision to simplify and federate the management of business services to enhance visibility, flexibility and accountability. The founders are industry veterans who have personally dealt with the challenges and pain points of implementing Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) to improve business agility. GridScope believes its vision will be best realized by a simple, standards-based solution that provides users the ability to manage the services they consume, regardless of the service endpoint. GridScope sums up its vision as Simply Managing Services.

The company's main mission is to provide a light-weight, platform-independent solution for federating service management across domains, especially services that underlie enterprise-critical business processes. The GridScope Service Manager empowers enterprises to improve visibility, flexibility, and accountability in their business processes. It allows them to extend their control in a unified manner across divisions and outside the enterprise for all services they consume. GridScope is the only provider currently offering a federated solution focused on governance from the service consumer's perspective.
