MONROVIA, CALIF. (Jan. 4) BUSINESS WIRE -Jan. 4, 1999--
DataGate Selected as One of the Best New Enterprise Solutions,
Based on Selected References from STC's 1,000 Customer Sites
Software Technologies Corp. (STC) Monday announced that it has been awarded the coveted AA
rating from the annual Crossroads A-List awards program for its leading enterprise application
integration (EAI) product, DataGate.
The Crossroads A-List awards program identifies the best new enterprise solutions that are
proven at customer sites.
"The AA rating is the highest deployment category a product can receive, and we applaud STC
because very few enterprise application integration products that are marketed today are actually
installed and running at customer sites," said Nina Lytton, president of Open Systems Advisors
(OSA) and editor, Crossroads A-List Awards. "The AA rating demonstrates that DataGate is in
production today for enterprise-wide mission-critical use."
STC received the AA rating with references from its customer base, including Genesis Direct, a
database-driven specialty retailer that is using STC's DataGate enterprise application integration
technology to link more than half-a-dozen applications, including order entry, shipping,
warehouse, customer databases and financial databases. The application is mission-critical and
provides real-time as well as batch transactions; at peak times, DataGate handles approximately
1.75 million Genesis Direct transactions per day.
"When we selected DataGate over two years ago we were looking for a way to avoid the costly
and time-consuming development of point-to-point interfaces," said Dominic DiMascia, CIO,
Genesis Direct. "We've had DataGate installed and running for over 18 months now, and it has
performed well.
"The product's return-on-integration has justified the investment in the system; we not only
avoided costly resources in developing our own integration solution, we now have a scalable
alternative that's allowed us to streamline our business operations and expand into e-commerce
applications," said DiMascia.
"The Crossroads award validates the solidity of our technology and its ability to perform in
real-world environments," said James T. Demetriades, president, chairman and CEO, STC. "Our
goal at STC is to be the champion for the customer, and as a result we focus on providing solid
technical solutions that can deliver."
