COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan 19, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Sterling Commerce, Inc. (NYSE: SE) today announced its new E-business process integration software and consulting services solution through its participation in RosettaNet. RosettaNet is a consortium of manufacturers and distributors of computer products dedicated to accelerating supply chain automation. Sterling Commerce's "RosettaNet Server" is designed to improve E-business supply chain management through the implementation of open and common processes by leveraging enabling technologies such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML). This solution helps companies implement RosettaNet's methodology for enabling small and large buyers and sellers to do business more efficiently over the Internet.
Using RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs), member companies are improving E-business process integration (BPI) over the Internet via standards like XML. Through its RosettaNet Server, Sterling Commerce provides E- business process integration solutions that simplify collaboration between commerce partners and improve business processes between supply chain partners on a global basis.
"As new standards like XML continue to evolve, Sterling Commerce is aggressively supporting it company-wide and offering it to our customers, further enhancing our ongoing objective of helping companies streamline business processes with their E-communities," said Randy Harvey, senior vice president of development for the GENTRAN product family at Sterling Commerce. "To complement these efforts, we are working closely with RosettaNet's Implementation Framework team to help drive the RosettaNet vision. We are committed to ensuring the successful implementation of these new and exciting Internet-based E-business initiatives."
The RosettaNet Server leverages Sterling Commerce's existing GENTRAN BPI offering providing native XML integration capabilities for business document exchange and acknowledgement, partner authentication, and seamless back-end connectivity into both packaged and legacy application systems. Availability of this solution is scheduled for February 2, 2000, in conjunction with the RosettaNet pilot implementation initiative.
Customer-Acclaimed Consulting Through Sterling Commerce's E-sourcing offerings, the RosettaNet Server is enhanced by a complementary suite of services designed to meet customers' needs.

"Today we're working closely with leading corporations who are moving forward with RosettaNet and XML," said John Schneider, vice president for managed services software solutions, Sterling Commerce.
