Active Endpoints has announced that CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, of Geneva, Switzerland, has successfully deployed ActiveVOS to orchestrate and manage its core technical and administrative business services. CERN is the nucleus of an extensive community that includes over 2,500 on-site staff, and nearly 9,000 visiting scientists. These scientists principally work at their universities and laboratories in over 80 countries around the world. Using ActiveVOS, CERN has now integrated and automated all its core processes as well as integrated those processes with the many external systems required by this dispersed workforce.

ActiveVOS is a 100% standards-based, complete visual orchestration system for creating true services-oriented architecture (SOA) based applications. With ActiveVOS, business analysts, developers, managers and end users use a single, integrated system to design, deploy and manage business processes.

"CERN's experience shows the value of creating true SOA-based service orchestrations," said Eric Egertson, vice president, sales, Active Endpoints. "In addition to its history of invention and its core scientific mission, CERN operates in a massively complex, worldwide collaboration. By using ActiveVOS to tame this complexity, CERN has demonstrated, once and for all, the value of 100% standards-based SOA technology. We are honored to have been the platform of choice for such a broad and fundamental implementation."
