Entrust Technologies, leaders in managed public-key infrastructure (PKI) solutions, has announced that it has completed the integration testing required to become an official member of the SAP Complementary Software Program (CSP). This announcement makes Entrust the first provider of PKI solutions to be accepted to this program and builds 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 of AST Business Integrity Solutions, a division of the AST Group, SA distributor of Entrust. "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.
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.
