Wipro, PointCross jump on MURA bandwagon

摘要

'Oaths of allegiance' sworn by Petris/ Wipro and Pointcross to Microsoft's Upstream Reference Architecture (now officially 'MURA') shed light on what it all really means. A white paper1 from Petris/Wipro describes Petris Winds OneTouch as 'taking advantage of MURA. This itself is curious since OneTouch was announced in May 2009 (Oil IT Journal) while MURA's official roll-out was in March 2010 when it was described as 'currently at a very early stage of development.' In the Petris/Wipro context, MURA is something of a framework in a framework and appears to mean the use of Microsoft tools including SharePoint, Silverlight, FAST and Web Parts from third parties such as OSIsoft.
