Scribe Software Expands Cloud Connectivity with Release of Web Services Adapter

Integration Vendor adds Web Services Adapter to simplify connectivity to Software-as-a-Service Applications

Bedford, NH (PRWEB) May 7, 2009 -- Scribe Software (www.scribesoft.com), a rapid integration vendor and the leading integration and migration solution choice of Microsoft Dynamics® CRM (http://www.scribesoftware.com/microsoft-dynamics-crm.asp), Microsoft Dynamics® GP (http://www.scribesoftware.com/microsoft-dynamics-gp.asp)and Microsoft Dynamics® NAV (http://www.scribesoftware.com/microsoft-dynamics-nav.asp)partners and customers has released a Scribe Web Services Adapter which is included with the Scribe Insight Enterprise product and is available as a separate purchase with Scribe Insight (standard edition). The Web Services Adapter enables users to design integration and migration processes where the source and/or target application is exposed via a standard Web Services interface. The interaction between a Scribe process and a Web Service can be configured through metadata, thus eliminating the need for custom coding that is difficult to upgrade and maintain.

Scribe will present the Web Services Adapter during the product launch webcast Thursday May 14 at 11am EST. Registration for the launch webcast can be found at https://www112.livemeeting.com/lrs/8001615779/Registration.aspx?pageName=rx9xxrf8tbj9g3rz (https://www112.livemeeting.com/lrs/8001615779/Registration.aspx?pageName=rx9xxrf8tbj9g3rz).

Many Scribe customers integrate to legacy and custom applications and have requested the ability to communicate directly with Web Service wrappers they create and expose externally. The Scribe Web Service adapter provides a seamless approach to integrate these applications without custom integration code.

Additionally, since many commercial (Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and on-premise) and internal applications expose web service Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) Scribe's release of a Web Services Adapter allows for integration to these applications through configuration rather than custom coding by a Web Services developer.

The Web Service Adapter supports Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)-based Web Services via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Scribe can connect to Web Services as both a source and a target. The adapter supports SOAP headers, as well as custom exception handling logic.

"Scribe's value proposition to our 800+ implementation partners is to provide a "one club in the bag" solution they can use to integrate all of their customers' business applications and data sources using a single integration solution," commented John Gravely, Scribe's Vice President of Product Marketing. "By providing native adapters to business applications such as Microsoft Dynamics (CRM, GP, SL and NAV), Salesforce and SalesLogix as well as connectivity adapters for standard technologies like Structured Query Language (SQL), Open Database connectivity (ODBC), Text Files and Web Services Scribe is delivering on our single solution promise."
