Computer Associates subsidiary Acacia Technologies will add Java workflow functionality to its enterprise resource planning software.
According to CA Africa product specialist Hendrik Haywood, Acacia will add workflow from the Workflow Automation Corporation to its PRMS and KBM enterprise resource planning products, as well as to its Warehouse Boss warehouse-management system.
The workflow software will help manage event-driven activities and tie application modules together. If an order is entered, for example, it would trigger actions in manufacturing and warehouse components.
The workflow agreement is accompanied by the disclosure that Acacia will update Warehouse Boss, improving the receiving process, resource reporting, and activity tracking. This week, the company also introduced KBM Custom Advantage, a version of its manufacturing software aimed at custom manufacturers.
Acacia is one of a handful of CA subsidiaries that sells enterprise software. While Acacia focuses on AS/400 manufacturing and distribution software, fellow subsidiaries Prestige Software International and MK Group focus on Unix and Windows NT, selling business applications and ERP software, respectively.
