Bull recently announced that its e-biscus solution has achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" certification.
By achieving this level of certification, Bull's e-biscus is now integrated with SAP technology. The combination of Bull's e-biscus with SAP NetWeaver provides a new comprehensive solution to address the entire scope of customs administrations needs.
e-Biscus is the comprehensive software solution designed by Bull for customs authorities and trade communities. It allows processing in real-time all customs declarations, and complies with the guidelines of the World Customs Organisation (WCO), such as the revised Kyoto Convention, the SAFE framework of standards and the EU regulations.
Bull's expertise in customs management integrated into the e-biscus software suite, combined with the SAP business process platform, provides Customs Authorities with an open, interoperable, reliable, and secure IT environment.
Bull e-biscus, combined with SAP NetWeaver, delivers robust and standard-based business integration capabilities for growth on enterprise service-oriented architecture (eSOA).
Bull also became a member of the SAP Industry Value Network initiative (IVN) for public sector. SAP Industry Value Networks bring together customers, partners and SAP to co-innovate and quickly develop solutions to solve industry-specific customer challenges.
"We are delighted with the evolution of our collaboration with SAP," stated Jean-Francois Betbeder, Bull Tax and Customs Solutions Vice-President. "Driven by experience, powered by technology, this new solution running on SAP NetWeaver will enable customs administrations to build and extend their IT environment to face their challenges, such as globalisation of exchanges, increasing e-services demand, and fast changing legal requirements.
"Bull, as a leading IT solution provider for customs administrations worldwide, trusts that this co-operation will open new horizons to customs administrations".
