Oracle announced Tuesday it plans to acquire applications management software maker ClearApp.

The acquisition, which is expected to close by the end of the year, aims to enhance Oracle’s line-up of Enterprise Manager products. ClearApp’s technology is designed to allow customers to manage applications built on service-oriented architecture (SOA) platforms.

ClearApp’s software aims to provide a greater view into a company’s business services spread across all related application components.

“As customers deploy more SOA-based applications, the task of effectively managing them becomes paramount,” Leng Leng Tan, Oracle vice president of Applications and Systems Management, said in a statement.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
