Mountain View, Calif. and Minneapolis, Minn., April 29, 2008 - Cast Iron Systems, the #1 SaaS integration provider, and SPS Commerce, the leading provider of Web-based EDI services, today announced the Cast Iron Integration Solution™ for SPS. The solution enables suppliers to quickly and easily connect their back-office applications with SPS’ outsourced EDI service, SPSCommerce.net, and exchange information with some of America’s largest retailers including Costco, Best Buy and Wal-Mart. Cast Iron Integration Solution™ for SPS contains pre-built connectivity from SPSCommerce.net to all major ERP applications including SAP and Oracle, databases, flat-files, warehouse management and 3PL systems, XML and web services, and on-demand applications.
“With the inherent complexity of supply chain integration,” commented Ken Comée, CEO of Cast Iron Systems, “companies are finding the combined SPS Commerce and Cast Iron integration solution to be a very effective way for suppliers to enjoy the advantages of a software-as-service model and be nimble and responsive to the needs of their large retailers.”
The Cast Iron Integration Solution for SPS Commerce uses a “configuration, not coding” approach to SaaS integration, eliminating the need to implement complex and expensive middleware or write custom code that may not scale to other integration projects as a company grows. Cast Iron provides a drag-and-drop graphical user interface to design workflow rules and transform data between source and target applications with automatic completeness checks. A single web-based console delivers complete visibility into implementation, monitoring, and maintenance.
“The Cast Iron integration solution is a cost-effective, plug-and-play solution that enables companies to communicate with our EDI services in real time,” commented David Novak, executive vice president of business development at SPS Commerce. “It is so simple for our customers to use that within days they have been up and running with our EDI services directly integrated with their internal systems, providing end-to-end connectivity between retailers and suppliers.”
