Mongoose Technology Joins OASIS to Drive XML Standards for

Next Generation Portal Development Solutions

 

Houston, August 25, 2000 — Mongoose Technology, Inc. today announced that it has joined OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards. OASIS is a leading XML interoperability consortium. Through its support for OASIS and other leading industry standards groups, Mongoose Technology is poised to become the premier provider of next generation integrated eBusiness solutions that enable rapid development of high quality business-to-business (B2B) portals.

OASIS is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating XML and other structured information standards to simplify how businesses exchange data. XML offers users an open format for B2B data exchange that sets the stage for developing interoperable systems over the Web.

XML is critical to Mongoose Technology’s eBusiness portal solutions strategy. Next month, the company will begin shipping the Mongoose PortalStudio™ product suite, which is expected to be one of the first portal development solutions to fully leverage the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) and XML standards. Mongoose PortalStudio is an out-of-the-box portal development solution for rapidly designing, developing, deploying and managing B2B as well as B2E (business-to-employee) eBusiness portals.

"We welcome Mongoose Technology to OASIS and look forward to their participation," said Laura Walker, executive director of OASIS. "By joining the consortium, Mongoose Technology is demonstrating its commitment to product-independent standards for e-business applications. Their work on XML-based portals will be valuable to OASIS and our technical work on XML interoperability."

"Mongoose will undoubtedly be at the forefront in delivering portal development solutions, including B2B integration services, based on the leading industry standards," says Erick Rivas, president of Mongoose Technology. "This standard-based approach will ease development, application integration as well as ongoing maintenance and support for our customers and partners."
