InSync Software Automates Connectivity Between Jazz Semiconductor and Supply Chain Partners using RosettaNet E-Business Standards

(PRWEB) April 30, 2004 -- InSync Software, Inc. announced today that Jazz Semiconductor has successfully implemented InSyncs leading edge Work-In-Process (WIP) Application for RosettaNet and Edgeware infrastructure to conduct live transactions with supply chain partners.

Jazz has deployed the exchange of WIP information with its partners on the InSync Edgeware platform, achieving this milestone through the implementation of the RosettaNet Partner Interface Process® (PIP®) 7B1 with its foundry, test and assembly business partners in Asia.

The real-time exchange of business-critical information with our supply chain partners is essential. After a careful evaluation, we selected InSyncs WIP Edge Application and Edgeware platform based on its out-of-the-box WIP visibility functionality and its use of RosettaNet standards for B2B integration. InSyncs technology enables Jazz to rapidly provision, connect and collaborate with our business partners in real-time," said Jeff McHenry, Jazz Semiconductor vice president of supply chain and information technology.

"The business benefits of RosettaNet increase exponentially with each pair of trading partners that go live with RosettaNet," said Jennifer Hamilton, president and CEO of RosettaNet. By enabling efficient implementation of the standard, RosettaNet solution providers such as InSync demonstrate their support for the industry by promoting continued adoption and growth of RosettaNets open, e-business processes for ultimate B2B integration."

RosettaNet standards offer robust, nonproprietary solutions for the global supply chain, represented by RosettaNet PIPs, RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF), RosettaNet Technical Dictionary (RNTD) and the RosettaNet Business Dictionary (RNBD). These business message schemas and process specifications help drive e-business standardization, thereby enhancing and streamlining trading partner relationships.

InSyncs Work-In-Process Edge Application for RosettaNet and Edgeware platform enables business process collaboration at the edge of the partners enterprises," said Ashish Chona, CEO, InSync Software. We are fully committed to the vision of zero-latency supply chains and support proven industry initiatives like RosettaNet that help realize this vision."
