1m transactions a day for Peregrine`s Get2Connect.net

Johannesburg, 03 Aug 2000

Peregrine Systems, Inc, the provider of e-infrastructure solutions, has introduced Get2Connect.net, an application-to-application e-Business market site. Formerly harbinger.net, it is being rebranded as a result of the acquisition of Harbinger by Peregrine Systems.

Get2Connect.net facilitates "inter-enterprise" B2B transactions with customers, suppliers, distributors and partners across multiple e-markets. Now, combined with Peregrine Systems` "intra-enterprise" offerings, including the Get.It! suite, Get2Connect.net acts as a single resource to help companies create, and operate the complete lifecycle of e-business.

Since its inception under Harbinger in early 1999, the e-business market site has experienced growth of more than 300% and now handles more than 1 million transactions daily. As Get2Connect.net, the B2B market site has been integrated with Peregrine Systems` buy-side solution Get.Resources! This Resources! is an employee self- application for total cost procurement that manages an `s complete lifecycle from acquisition to disposition, streamlining business processes, boosting employee productivity and lowering TCO.

"Today`s e-business requires companies to participate in complex trading environments," says Allen Lewis, product management executive at local Peregrine Systems distributor CCH Enterprise Solutions. "Before the acquisition, the Harbinger market site had become a leading B2B destination because it offered e-suppliers and e-buyers convenience and efficiency for participating in one-to-many and many-to-many e-markets. Now the ability to streamline procurement, control costs and manage procured assets through Get.Resources!, along with Get2Connect.net, will add significant value."

Get2Connect.net provides a single interface to customers, via browser or application, and eliminates concerns for managing individual B2B data and connectivity standards between trading partners and e-markets. The e-business market site hosts some 50 market sites and provides seamless data and connectivity paths to a growing number of third-party market sites.

Large and small companies in and across industry segments are using Get2Connect.net to reduce the number of trading connections they manage and to reduce the complexity of managing the diverse B2B requirements with all trading partners.

Get2Connect.net also offers the convenience of online customer support services, enabling users to order and receive software electronically, instantly download e-business forms, automatically set up and maintain e-business trading accounts, view and print XML documents and access a 24/7 customer support centre.
