AmberPoint is a software company that specializes in runtime governance of enterprise information systems based on Service Oriented Architecture, or SOA. AmberPoint is based in Oakland, California, and was founded by a team of software executives with extensive experience in pioneering new technologies for distributed systems, databases, development tools and management frameworks.

SOA-based systems offer significant benefits, such as greater agility and cost savings from reusable application components. However, these loosely coupled systems also bring new management and security challenges. Organizations looking to gain the benefits of SOA require a means of gaining visibility into and control of these distributed, heterogeneous, rapidly evolving systems. SOA runtime governance addresses these issues.

AmberPoint software products are designed to bring real-time visibility and control to services and applications at each stage of the SOA lifecycle—from development, through QA and into production use. AmberPoint utilizes a policy-based approach to governance in order to manage the health and well-being of SOA applications.

In May 2006, a deal was announced to integrate Software AG's crossvision with AmberPoint’s SOA management software.<ref> AmberPoint's SOA Tool Joins Software AG's crossvision</ref>
