System Software Associates (SSA) has announced its intent to build seamless application integration between Lotus`s Domino technology and its own BPCS product suite. Developed with business partners and IBM and Lotus, SSA will build a set of Domino connectors based on Lotus`s Domino Connector Toolkit. These connectors will work both with the Domino Application Server R5 or R4.6.3, and Lotus Enterprise Integrator 3.0. In addition, SSA solution maps will provide business partners and developers a framework in which to build complementary Web-based applications that can leverage the data stored in BPCS.
BPCS and Domino for the AS/400e will provide a reliable platform for the development of collaborative applications based on Internet standards.
"The connector and complementary applications enable customers to improve collaboration and communications throughout an organisation. Our strategy is to create value to the users of both systems," says Bob Nussbaum, VP product management of SSA. "We are working with a set of application partners that have a broad understanding of AS/400e, BPCS and Domino applications."
The solution maps and resulting integrated Web-based application will allow customers to work more closely with their suppliers, remote workers and customers.
"The integration of Domino for AS/400 and SSA`s BPCS sets the stage for the development of e-business solutions for companies of all sizes, allowing them to leverage their Internet and extranet potential," says Michele Deziel, GM Web Application Development, Lotus Development. "Lotus Domino`s proven capabilities as a collaborative Web Application Server team up with SSA`s strength in ERP systems to provide customers with strong supply chain collaboration."
Applications
Applications that focus on shop floor and supply chain extensions will be made available globally through the SSA and IBM/Lotus partner base. Lotus partner applications such as ETQ`s ISO/QS 9000; Total Solutions Group`s Mobile Sales Suite for BPCS; Applications Partners Inc`s Pulseware; and other defined business partners from around the globe are shipping applications which integrate with BPCS.
SSA software solutions are distributed in South Africa by Armada/SSA
