RESTON, Va. & NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Software AG, a global leader in business infrastructure software, and Proginet
Corporation, a leading provider of universal, multi-platform software solutions
for fast, secure, global file transfers, today announced the availability of
webMethods ActiveTransfer, a solution for managed file transfer available as
part of the webMethods Suite. Building upon a new strategic OEM partnership with
Proginet for its industry-leading, cross-platform file transfer solution,
CyberFusion Integration Suite (CFI), webMethods ActiveTransfer provides
organizations with a secure and reliable way to transfer large files,
facilitates seamless trading partner integration, and provides a platform for
compliance with regulatory mandates and security best practices.

webMethods ActiveTransfer is an integrated, efficient file transfer solution
that provides a single point of control and management for all of an
organization`s file transfer activity, both inside and outside the extended
enterprise. webMethods ActiveTransfer enables organizations to exchange
information securely between all major computer platforms, as well as over the
Internet.

"Companies struggle with how to move large files within the organization, and
this challenge is compounded when trying to share information with external
business partners outside the firewall," said Dr. Peter Kürpick, Chief Product
Officer and Member of the Executive Board, Software AG. "Traditional file
transfer methods, such as FTP, tend to be unreliable, non-secure, and lacking in
the required automation functionalities, and e-mail is not a viable option for
large files."

"webMethods ActiveTransfer provides businesses a solution that is optimized to
guarantee secure delivery of files inside and outside an organization.
Additionally, its zero-footprint deployment makes it an ideal solution for
integrating with trading partners," Dr. Kürpick added.

webMethods ActiveTransfer supports a variety of communication protocols, and
provides for the transmission of important business documents with trusted
recipients across geographically dispersed networks. Additionally, its
Checkpoint Restart functionality provides guaranteed delivery, while resuming
the transfer of any file from the point of failure, rather than from the
beginning of the transfer.

webMethods ActiveTransfer provides centralized management and control, including
auditing, troubleshooting, and encryption, for both inbound and outbound
transfers. These control features, combined with a secure infrastructure and
optimized system performance, provide a platform for compliance with regulatory
mandates and information security best practices relating to the transmission of
large files.

As an SOA-enabled solution, webMethods ActiveTransfer is fully integrated with
the webMethods Suite, enabling companies to replace antiquated and non-secure
file transfer systems with a consolidated, easy-to-use platform. Integration
with webMethods also extends large file support to the entire webMethods Suite
and allows companies to easily extend file-based interactions to their SOA,
including triggering actionable business events from file transfers.
Organizations can deploy a single SOA platform for service-, message- and
file-based interactions. webMethods ActiveTransfer is another example of
Software AG`s ongoing commitment to help companies deploy needed services
quickly, reliably and securely.

"We are very pleased to be partnering with Software AG," stated Sandy Weil,
Proginet`s President and CEO. "They are a universally recognized leader in the
business infrastructure software space. By bringing our leading-edge managed
file transfer technology into their SOA-based webMethods Suite, they`ll be able
to deliver an integration solution that is uniquely powerful. We see tremendous
synergies between our companies and we will continue to innovate, as we move
forward, to better serve the marketplace."

webMethods ActiveTransfer will be available from Software AG on April 22, 2009.
