Siperian, Inc. and iWay Software Form Strategic Partnership

Siperian adds critical adapter capability to applications and solutions with Information Builders Company

SAN MATEO, CA (PRWEB) September 26, 2002 -- Siperian, Inc., a leading provider of Business Activity ManagementTM solutions, today announced a partnership with iWay Software, a leading provider of rapid integration solutions and an Information Builders Company. Were thrilled to have iWay Software in our partner family," commented Terry David, Senior Product Manager, Siperian, Inc. Their complement of over 200 adapters will give us the edge our customers demand to connect to any system, database or platform."

iWay Adapters comprise three categories: data, application and network. Data adapters support specific proprietary databases and file systems. They contain iWay-provided logic and metadata to perform simple or complex SQL-based data manipulation against the target system. All iWay data adapters use a common framework that has robust functionality, minimizes the skill sets required for use of each database and reduces the requirement for database administrators to support new projects. Application adapters tap into the native transaction interfaces, APIs, and data structures that these popular business packages expose, while network adapters convey requests to and from a wide variety of modern and legacy systems using any synchronous or asynchronous communications protocol.

As a partner, Siperian will bring iWay Softwares integration solutions to their clients as part of Siperians overall Business Activity ManagementTM solution. This is exactly what our customers have been asking for," stated Siperian CEO, Ken Hoang. Our customers want to significantly reduce the time, cost, complexity and skills required to implement enterprise integration. iWay Software adapters provide a simple way to work with complex information systems."

Hoang continues, We chose iWay Software as a partner because their adapters are easy to integrate, provide complete system coverage and have an excellent reputation for backing up their products."
