With simple designs and configuration-driven processes, GridScope products are easy to install and use without complex training or expensive consulting arrangements. By separating the Management Logic from the Business Logic and implementing the Management Logic in a centralized, declarative fashion, GridScope frees architects and developers to focus on Business Logic and build better services. It also ensures that management standards and policies are applied in a uniform manner across the enterprise, further reducing the inefficiency associated with managing to competing standards and policies. GridScope's innovative, dynamic framework frees up resources that would otherwise be devoted to coordinating and maintaining a portfolio of web services that grows more resource-intensive with every service added.

  Move to an SOA-driven enterprise with minimal efforts. Enforce unified architecture, standards, guidelines, and best practices with GridScope.

  Extend control to services outside the enterprise with GridScope's federated management capability. Control how services are consumed and exceptions are handled regardless of the service endpoint.

  Increase reuse opportunities and reduce service development costs by storing service artifacts in GridScope's dynamic Repository. No more lost or forgotten services being paid for each time you reinvent them.

  Radically reduce the potential for vendor lock-in due to GridScope's client-independent framework, which can manage multiple different clients at the same time. Client-independence sets a new standard for agility by freeing managers to chose the "best of breed" solution without concern for client compatibility.

  Cut times and costs associated with architecting, designing, and building Web services by automating routine steps and eliminating the need to worry about service management logic.

  Develop and use services with multiple client platforms simultaneously thanks to GridScope's client-independent framework. No retraining or conversion of old services is necessary.

  Accelerate service deployment by automatically registering the latest version of a service through GridScope's dynamic, proactive Repository.

  Reduce the performance impact of building composite services. Use the Repository's service asset caching to reduce component service response time, resulting in shorter cumulative response time for the composite service.

  Improve service quality, and accelerate roll out based on unified design standards and policies across the enterprise.

  Improve service performance by caching service assets such as definitions, configurations, policies, and SLAs. Cut service response time by 80% or better.

  Automate initial and ongoing service registration with GridScope's registry-crawling service search capability.

  Rapidly and non-intrusively install GridScope across any number of enterprise servers using the simple, easy-to-use installation and configuration process. GridScope allows implementation with no disruption to ongoing operations, eliminating the need for complex installation plans.

  Streamline administrative requirements by eliminating the need for client-side service management software.

  Define and virtualize Web Services and other SOA resources in a dynamic manner using the GridScope Console.

  Monitor service activities at runtime using an activity dashboard as part of the GridScope Console.
