looksoftware’s enhancements for Oracle's JDE opens up a whole new World in a snap!
Melbourne, Australia – Sept 24, 2008
looksoftware today announced their snap solution for Oracle's JDE ‘World’ application. Following their successful launch of snap for MS Outlook and snap for iPhone3G, this new enhancement will provide a gateway of opportunity for the thousands of ‘World’ users around the globe to easily integrate, extend and service-enable their highly customized core applications.
Early adopter Dave Hyzy, Director of IT at Florida based Benderson Development Inc. said, “This is the software I’ve been waiting for, for 10 years!” After a long-term search through alternative new technologies and platforms, Hyzy discovered looksoftware and snap and he now looks forward to significant enhancements to the Leasing Module of their customized World application.
snap is designed to improve reuse of IBM back-end applications, enabling easy plug-and-play integration with almost any other application. snap connectors include MS Outlook, SharePoint and mobile front-ends and snap can connect existing applications to any other application or device that supports web services. snap’s components can deliver streamlined business processes and reduced operational costs.
Benderson’s investment in customizing their World code to suit their changing business requirements meant a rewrite or replacement made no practical business sense. They have selected snap to deliver new web front-ends and improve ‘anywhere, anytime’ access with Outlook and mobile devices like BlackBerry and iPhone. Benderson will also use looksoftware’s products to integrate its core IBM based applications with Oracle’s BI, Document Management and Workflow products. Dave said, “We have invested considerably in customizing and extending JDE – looksoftware’s ability to reuse our existing code to deliver web services and multichannel access to World through web front-ends, Outlook, mobile devices and other applications, eliminates the need to consider the costs and risks associated with replacing our ERP.”
looksoftware’s initial release of snap for Oracle's JDE World is scheduled for general availability in November 2008.
