Lotus Development has announced the availability of Lotus Enterprise Integrator (LEI) 3.0, a member of the Domino application development family.
Lotus Enterprise Integrator has been designed to speed the creation of collaborative Web applications such as employee self-service, supplier relationship management and customer relationship management.
"Organisations today require the ability to incorporate the data from their back-end business operations into the decision-making processes that drive their businesses," says Oscar Rozario, product and strategy specialist at Lotus Development SA. "This improves customer responsiveness, increases supplier co-operation and makes employees more effective in their jobs."
The application provides the ability to integrate enterprise systems with the Lotus Domino Application Server R5 making information readily available within collaborative Domino Web applications.
"Lotus Enterprise Integrator is part of the Domino application development platform, which includes Domino Application Server, Domino Designer and eSuite. It enables developers to build Web-based, self-service solutions that integrate front-end business processes with back-end applications."
"With the ability to connect, transfer and synchronise high volumes of data between enterprise systems and Lotus Domino, Enterprise Integrator helps us to provide a solution for our customers requiring a need for back-end systems data to be easily incorporated into Web-based, self-service solutions that are accessed on a daily basis," says Rozario.
Formerly known as Lotus NotesPump, it is a server-based integration product, requiring no programming to schedule high-volume data transfer or synchronisation between Domino and a broad number of enterprise data sources, including relational database, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and transaction processing systems.
Designed to enable data integration and transfer via a forms-based interface, LEI also provides programmatic access via LotusScript and Java for custom integration needs such as data transformation.
It consists of a Domino management application and a multi-threaded server. With Enterprise Integrator, organisations can easily incorporate existing enterprise information into Domino-based Internet, intranet and extranet applications. It extends Domino Enterprise Connections Services (DECS) providing real-time access to enterprise data sources, by offering high-volume, scheduled transfer and synchronisation of information between applications.
This allows companies to synchronise data across enterprise information architectures from point-of-sale to the back-office production applications.
LEI supports event-driven transfers and data archiving services and is a multi-tasking, scalable enterprise product.
New enhancements to Lotus Enterprise Integrator 3.0 include: Enhanced data transfer performance through multi-threading support; Improved administration, application user interface and navigation; New MetaConnectors for management of individual user log-in from Domino to enterprise sources, and metering, providing the ability to meter data flow across connector sources; Support for the following Domino Connectors: SAP R/3, JD Edwards One World, Oracle Applications/Financials, PeopleSoft (release 6 and greater) and BEA Tuxedo; Support for the following Connectors available only with LEI: Domino Directory Services (PNAB), Novell Directory Services (NDS) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LEI and DECS are part of the Domino Enterprise Integration.
