SAN FRANCISCO & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MuleSource, the leading provider of open source service oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure software, today announced a partnership with FastConnect, a Paris-based IT consultancy, to provide Mule architecture and implementation services throughout the French market.

FastConnect’s expertise spans the domains of data and service integration, through to the user interface, using advanced and innovative concepts such as SOA, Virtualization, Complex Event Processing (CEP) and business process management (BPM). FastConnect extends MuleSource’s reach into an IT market in France that values local knowledge and regional market leadership.

“We feel that experience with the local landscape and a presence on the ground is critical to extending our reach in the EU,” said Phil Bradley, vice president of sales, MuleSource. “As a leading SOA consultancy in France, FastConnect brings exactly this type of leadership to the table.”

FastConnect joins the MuleSource Partner Program, which gives organizations the expertise to market, configure, customize and implement SOA and integration solutions for customers worldwide. Founded in 2006, MuleSource now boasts 27 consulting and technology partners in the program across North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim.
