JBoss Enterprise Middleware plays a significant role within Accenture’s Innovation Center for Open Source. The Center is meant to enable Accenture’s clients to take full advantage of their open source deployments. Working with Accenture helps us grow open source middleware awareness and adoption, and it serves as further evidence that JBoss Enterprise Middleware has reached a tipping point. Critical support from industry leaders like Accenture help to move open source middleware adoption beyond niche deployments.

Most recently, Red Hat and Accenture have partnered to help KLM-Air France migrate from proprietary platforms to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss Enterprise Middleware for their mission critical web applications. Ultimately, driving down costs and improving operational efficiency, KLM’s goal is to standardize their entire datacenter on a Red Hat and JBoss combination.
