South African Internet integration company Advanced Network Solutions (ANS) was recently acquired by global business-to-business (B2B) infrastructure provider CommerceQuest, Inc., and is operating now as CommerceQuest SA. The Company`s first product offering to be launched in South Africa is e-Adapter Suite, enterprise application integration (EAI) software that manages the exchange and integration of information. The company will continue to roll out all of CommerceQuest`s product and service offerings for the EAI and B2B markets.
Geoff Hardwick, General Manager of CommerceQuest SA commented, "We are very excited about introducing e-Adapter Suite into South Africa. It will give us the opportunity to add business value to those customers who already have an installed base of MQSeries. The e-Adapter Suite is also an ideal first step for companies who are interested in doing Business 2 Business over the Internet, as it enables serious Application Integration initiatives."
e-Adapter Suite manages the exchange and integration of information. It enables applications to share business-critical information, regardless of data content, across all major computer platforms and network protocols. Businesses can minimise costly and time-consuming code writing and at the same time allow information to be shared pervasively throughout the entire enterprise. Additionally, the product offers an immediate return on investment by plugging directly into existing business processes to enable information integration. e-Adapter Suite is easy to implement without application change. Finally, the e-Adapter Suite provides business with control of information flow by providing configuration, scheduling, auditing, and administration tools.
