The newly validated iWay Adapter for Siebel eBusiness Applications, Version 5 is an important part of iWay's Universal Adapter Framework technology that has consistently maximized the ROI from integration initiatives.

iWay Adapter for Siebel eBusiness Applications, Version 5 allows developers to access more than 250 adapters for packaged applications, databases, transaction processing systems, industry document standards, and other critical technologies. The iWay adapter's flexible architecture allows it to be deployed into J2EE-, .NET-, and SOAP-based servers or into iWay's Enterprise Integration Suite, enabling the exchange of business data between Siebel eBusiness Applications and other enterprise information assets.

The iWay adapter enhances the success of integrating mission-critical applications. By leveraging Siebel Systems' existing EAI framework and the iWay adapter, customers can accelerate Siebel implementations that involve ERP and legacy system integration. The flexibility of the adapter enables it to fit seamlessly into existing enterprise architectures.

iWay Software President John Senor says, "iWay's Adapter for Siebel eBusiness Applications allows non-Siebel applications to communicate and perform transactions with Siebel applications via the use of XML messages, and vice-versa, thus extending the value of new or existing deployments. iWay Software helps organizations build integration infrastructures that truly share the value of existing assets throughout the enterprise. It's all about getting value out of what you already have, while easily adding future technologies."
