Dallas, TX, August 27, 2007 - iTKO, Inc., a leading provider of testing solutions for integration and SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) software, today announced the availability of a LISA Solution for Utilities and Energy. The offering consists of iTKO's SOA testing software, test integrations and assets focused on industry needs, and consulting best practices to accelerate implementation and ensure quality results for LISA customers.

"We selected iTKO as our integration testing platform partner after carefully examining LISA along with some of our clients," said Ali Vojdani, Ph.D., President of Utility Integration Solutions, Inc. (http://www.UISOL.com). "We specialize in complex integrations in the utility industry. We are excited about the impact iTKO solutions could have on improving the delivery lifecycle and quality of our integration projects, which have many moving parts."
