SEEBURGER Introduces Salesforce.com Adapter, Enabling Automatic Integration of Salesforce.com Data into ERP & Other Local Applications

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 10:25:00 +0200

ATLANTA, GA (September 27, 2011) – SEEBURGER today announced the availability of a Salesforce.com adapter that enables users of the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) to automatically transfer information from an open Salesforce CRM window into local applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) or business intelligence (BI) systems without manual data entry. The new Salesforce connectivity saves time for enterprises using the B2B gateway component of SEEBURGER BIS integrated with their own ERP systems for supply chain communications. It also extends BIS’ long-standing enterprise application integration capabilities into the cloud. SEEBURGER’s new Salesforce adapter enables BIS users to:

Automatically import Salesforce data, such as contacts from sales leads that turn into orders, into relevant local applications without the risk of manual copying errors.
Access business data from Salesforce using their own ERP or BI systems without toggling between Salesforce.com and the in-house application.
Analyze marketing activity data from Salesforce in conjunction with information about the customer’s history from their own BI system.

“We plan to use the new adapter ourselves to gain a complete overview of all customer activities from within our existing applications,” said Bernd Seeburger, CEO of SEEBURGER AG. “It is also a cornerstone of a broader cloud integration platform that we are adding to our flagship Business Integration Suite to facilitate data exchange across both premise-based applications and cloud services.”

Centralizing All Data Exchange in One Platform
SEEBURGER’s cloud integration initiative is the latest in a series of major product enhancements designed to equip enterprises with a single unified platform – SEEBURGER BIS – from which to manage, execute and track data transfers of all kinds both inside and outside the corporate firewall.

That includes:

EDI- and B2B-based supply chain communications – SEEBURGER’s long-time focus – utilizing BIS to exchange purchase orders, advance shipping notices, invoices and other structured data with full integration into the enterprise ERP system.
Non-structured file transfers, such as CAD, multimedia, Power Point, Excel and Word files that either exceed email attachment limits or contain sensitive data, leveraging BIS’ managed file transfer abilities including encryption and complete visibility of all file exchange activity.
Application-to-application integration, a core competency with multiple BIS adapters and technology interfaces built over the years to automate business processes across conventional installed applications, that is now expanding to cloud applications.

This industry-first one-platform strategy was spotlighted in this month’s announcement of a complete SEEBURGER Managed File Transfer (SEE MFT) suite that uniquely consolidates all human-to-human, human-to-system and system-to-system file transfer management and logs in one graphical interface. Supply chain communications can also be seen from the same interface. This single unified platform is also the fundamantal engine for SEEBURGER’s cloud integration solution for any company who wants to be in the business of Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB).

SEEBURGER-L&T Infotech Global Strategic Partnership Yields First Fortune 100 Client

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:59:00 +0200

Bretten, Germany and Mumbai , India, September 15, 2011: SEEBURGER Inc. today announced a global strategic partnership with Larsen & Toubro Infotech Ltd. (L&T Infotech), one of the world’s top-ranked global IT services providers, to deliver expert on-premise and cloud-based implementation and consulting services for SEEBURGER’s world-leading and award-winning business integration, managed file transfer and vertical-specific collaboration solutions. The agreement reflects an aggressive channel expansion strategy by both companies to meet growing market demand driven by changing global conditions and the movement of enterprise applications to cloud-based delivery models.

The first joint SEEBURGER-L&T Infotech client is a Fortune 100 distributor servicing vendors and resellers throughout the world. The client selected the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) to consolidate, standardize and upgrade multiple B2B/EDI platforms used to automate trading partner communications worldwide, simplifying data exchange and associated IT oversight as well as reducing the use of disparate and antiquated systems.

The project extends across 30 countries, involves more than a dozen data and communications protocols, and integrates more than 2,000 trading partners supporting a broad array of IT infrastructures. The deployed infrastructure features advanced capabilities such as IMXML-based real-time price/availability checks that will double the previous B2B/EDI workload volume at full production.

The cloud-enabled platform also includes rigid security measures to ensure the integrity of all data exchanges with both internal and external stakeholders. L&T Infotech and SEEBURGER jointly designed and demonstrated the proof of concept, with subsequent provisioning, roll-out and ongoing maintenance provided by both the companies.

The global partnership leverages L&T Infotech’s broad international footprint as well as its domain expertise in vertical industries such as manufacturing, utilities and financial services that need SEEBURGER’s business integration and managed file transfer technology to streamline business processes and meet increasingly stringent regulatory mandates. L&T Infotech will provide implementation, support maintenance, architecture consulting and program delivery services for SEEBURGER platforms.

“This agreement with L&T Infotech significantly expands our global deployment resources and gives our customers access to one of the largest and most respected system integrators in the world,” said Rohit Khanna, EVP, Global Strategy and Corporate Development, for SEEBURGER. “It is also part of a broader initiative to strengthen our partner network to enable faster deployments, add service capacity, and provide local support to customers anywhere around the globe.”

“Inter- and intra-company business integration is becoming increasingly critical as enterprises seek to reduce operating costs, increase data visibility, and improve control over business processes for both efficiency and compliance purposes. Moving legacy data transfer models to the cloud will drive new efficiencies, reduced IT spend and improved business outcomes,” said Mr. Abhay Chitnis, Chief Technology Officer, L&T Infotech, “We pursued this relationship because SEEBURGER is the gold standard in business integration solutions, and this partnership presents us with the opportunity to help companies on five continents take full advantage of SEEBURGER’s 25 years of business integration experience.”
