enabling applications to predict business opportunities and anomalies. The extensive
built-in services of Jasmine©ii allow

port and the data stored in the Symbol
scanning devices becomes immediately available to the application-and to the entire
enterprise,' said Alan Melling, Symbol
senior director, 2D systems.
Jasmine©ii supports integration of data and business logic anywhere in the enterprise,
including ERP, relational and

and supports integration of today's popular development tools that enable clients deploy
eBusiness systems in a wide variety of
