Take a giant leap into emerging
software technologies!
Technology portfolio

By taking the mystery out of emerging technologies, jStart helps you gain the critical experience that is needed to cross the chasm of the technology adoption lifecycle.

With the help of the jStart Program, technologies such as Web services, JavaTM and Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), XML, and Pervasive Computing have matured and are now being used by thousands of companies to perform mission critical transactions.

Our current focus is Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), especially the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and Business Process Modeling, and Autonomic Computing. We also work on Open Source projects, Rich Client Applications, Next Generation Collaboration (such as blogs, wikis, and podcasting), and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID).
