Companies Reduce Time and Cost With Seamless Integration for all SaaS-Based Applications

NEW YORK, NY (May 05, 2009) –

iWay Software, an Information Builders company and innovator of enterprise integration solutions, today announced the addition of a new Salesforce.com adapter for WebSphere. This new adapter allows companies of all sizes, across all industries, to enhance their Salesforce.com environment with secure and code-free integration of “cloud- based” and on-premise applications. The iWay Salesforce.com adapter is available now. A free trial is being offered at the IBM Impact Conference at the Information Builders/iWay Software booth # P1B in area ZOS, as well as on the iWay Software Web site.

iWay’s Salesforce.com adapter provides interface and integration touchpoints for all software-as-a-service- (SaaS)-based Salesforce.com applications and services, including sales, service and support, partner relationship management, analytics, and industry or custom applications. It enables information-sharing between Salesforce.com and virtually any other type of information system including: packaged applications, e-business connections, transaction processing environments, database systems, message systems, and file transfer technologies. This tight integration will facilitate the rapid sharing of critical information about prospects and customers, sales and marketing programs, post-sales support activities, and more across the entire technology infrastructure.

“Our new Salesforce.com adapter provides seamless integration between Salesforce.com applications and other internal and external systems, eliminating the need for costly, time-consuming, high-risk hand-coding,” said Gerald Cohen, president and CEO of Information Builders.

iWay’s Salesforce.com adapter integrates with WebSphere Integration Developer, WebSphere Process Server, and WebSphere ESB run-time environments allowing users to:

* Share timely data between service and support applications as well as engineering, manufacturing, and quality management systems to more effectively identify and track product defects
* Link sales and inventory management systems to facilitate better stock and demand planning
* Synchronize sales pipelines and forecasts with accounting information for improved financial planning and management
* Exchange order status and delivery information with clients and partners
* Integrate sales, marketing, accounting, call center, and other applications, for a single, accurate view of prospect and customer details and histories across the business.

The iWay Salesforce.com adapter is available immediately. A free 90-day trial version is available at the iWay Software Web site.
