DataMirror Launches Breakthrough B2B Integration Solution
LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLORIDA--
iDeliver(TM) Software Provides Near Real-time Data Delivery to
Partners, Suppliers, Employees and Customers via the Internet
Transcend 2000 User Conference
DataMirror Corporation (TSE: DMC), a leading provider of
e-Business data integration and resiliency solutions, today
announced a major new release of its business-to-business (B2B)
integration software. iDeliver Version 2.0 was unveiled to over 85
customers, business partners and analysts at DataMirror's third
annual user conference held at Walt Disney World Resort, Lake
Buena Vista, Florida.
iDeliver is a business-to-business integration solution that
streamlines collaborative business processes extended across
partners, suppliers, employees and customers. iDeliver software
allows organizations to filter and publish corporate data securely
over intranets, extranets or the Internet so that authorized
business partners or trading partners with web access can easily
subscribe to the data. iDeliver is ideal for any business case in
which data is being shared unidirectionally either within an
organization or between business partners via fax, e-mail, File
Transfer Protocol (FTP), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or
other means.
iDeliver provides a powerful solution for helping customers to
reduce transaction costs, shorten cycle times, virtually eliminate
the need for paper trails and redundant data entry, and enhance
customer experiences. Using iDeliver, corporations can even
replicate their employee contact information from legacy and
enterprise systems to the desktops of their mobile and static
workforce. Using special out-of-the-box iDeliver replication
features, information can then be replicated to Microsoft Outlook
as well as PDA devices including Palm Pilots, Windows CE devices
and NeoPoint phones.
"The Internet is truly revolutionizing the way companies interact
with customers, partners and suppliers," said Nigel Stokes,
Chairman, President and CEO of DataMirror. "Currently, large
manufacturers who distribute their products through a network of
resellers and independent retailers often have a hard time
supplying current pricing and availability information to
resellers for inclusion in on-line catalogues or on their web
site. Requests for product information are often processed
manually, causing unnecessary delays and increasing overall costs.
An effective, high performance B2B solution like iDeliver enables
manufacturers to easily and securely publish this confidential
data to the Internet where partners can subscribe to the data and
integrate relevant information into their catalogues."
Featuring out-of-the-box integration with leading databases
including DB2, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and Access, as well as
desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook and Excel, iDeliver
enables organizations to securely integrate diverse systems and
keep their data synchronized through near real-time replication.
The iDeliver client has an integrated Visual Basic(R) for
Applications (VBA) component that allows users to execute custom
or standard APIs to integrate data directly into ERP or CRM
systems, as well as flow data in near real-time into any custom or
standard XML format. iDeliver's ability to leverage existing
infrastructures sets iDeliver apart from solutions that require
private infrastructures, proprietary standards, process
re-engineering and costly implementations.
Pricing and Availability
Fully functional versions of iDeliver Version 2.0 are available
for evaluation upon request. iDeliver requires DataMirror
Transformation Server software for integration of diverse data
sources. Pricing is based on the number of simultaneous server
connections. Until October 31, 2000, early adopter discounts are
available. For more information, please contact a DataMirror
representative at 1 (800) 362-5955.
