AST Business Integrity Solutions, exclusive reseller for Entrust Technologies in South Africa, has announced its local accreditation for the internationally certified Entrust PKI solution for SAP R/3, which is an official member of the SAP Complementary Software Program (CSP). This announcement allows AST BIS to build on its strategy to address the enterprise resource planning (ERP) market.
"The integration of SAP R/3 and Entrust`s PKI solutions helps customers establish and maintain trusted electronic relationships and transactions with partners, customers and employees," says Steve Crutchley, GM of AST Business Integrity Solutions, a division of the Advanced Software Technologies-Abraxas (AST-A). "Customers can expand their business information flow in new ways to realise the benefits of cost effective e-business transactions."
"The advantages of Entrust PKI with SAP R/3 software are far-reaching. It opens the way for suppliers, partners, customers and employees to guarantee secure access to important applications and data within the enterprise and between supply chain partners for users of the R/3 System over private or public networks such as the Internet.
"What the Entrust PKI solution does, is bring a workable solution to the market for the new generation of SAP customers, where security of the environments is extremely high on the priority list," says Nicole Anderson, Technical Alliance Manager for SAP.
Entrust, as a member of SAP`s CSP program, will join a select group of SAP partners who have products that are complementary to the R/3 System through open, standards-based interfaces. Specifically, Entrust software utilises GSS-API v2 to connect to the R/3 System.
SAP`s Complementary Software Program is designed to recognise third party software vendors with products that interface with the R/3 System. Products that qualify under the SAP`s CSP program must enhance R/3`s core business processes and add value to the R/3 solution, interoperate with the R/3 System via a standard interface and have the integration scenario certified or validated by SAP.
