As ERP systems dominate the Enterprise the dire prognosis projected by Gartner states that until 2018 80% of enterprises will lack the ability to successfully deliver on their postmodern ERP strategy. They further elaborate by saying: “The focus of postmodern ERP is on improved business agility and flexibility for example, through deployment of solutions and services that are better targeted at the business capabilities and address other needs such as user experience.”

The ability of Business Users to be able to use the data from many disparate systems with one simple tool is currently beyond the scope of many organizations. One question organizations are facing is how to enable the data and metadata stored on forms in ERP systems to be accessed by Business Users.

The simple fact is that your staff spends much of their day reading and writing emails. It is an environment that they know well and feel comfortable in. The intricacies of learning and logging on to multiple systems has been dooming companies to rely on overburdened IT departments to handle requests for assistance from Business Users.

FORMVERSE, a company with a patented workflow system for forms has released a tool, which enable organizations to integrate and exchange data integration between emails and ERP/ Enterprise Databases.

This missing link of Application Integration via services like Vantiq may enable your organization to avoid the dilemma of lacking a Postmodern Application Integration Strategy.

A technical summary of this technology is provided below:

SERVICE MANAGEMENT AND CONFIGURATION UI Configurability is one of the key features allowing custom configurable adapters, the connector framework provides a pluggable architecture where custom connector adapters can be introduced and removed dynamically.

DATA PROTECTION a basic encryption and decryption for configurable text values is provided as part of the connector data protection services.

EVENT NOTIFICATION AND SCHEDULING Connector modules can subscribe to an event notification service that will allow them to run and execute their desired task in a scheduled fashion.

PERSISTENT CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION The persistency of connector configuration is provided by the connector configuration. Any configurable component is written into a file, after being it is configured using the Connector Task Configuration user interface.

WINDOWS SERVICE The connector framework runs as a windows service. By implementing a default windows service implementation that can process configured components of the connector framework, it facilitates the prompt deployment of custom connector adapters.

INPUT AND OUTPUT POINTS IMPLEMENTATION Default implementations for reading an input from a file and writing an output into a file are included with the connector framework. Custom connector adapters can also provide extended implementations for different type of input and output mechanisms.

LOGGING FORMVERSE PASSPORT provides a mechanism for logging into a file. XSLT TRANSFORMATION ACTION:

FORMVERSE PASSPORT provides default implementation for an XSLT based transformation action.
