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."
