Sequoia XML Portal Server Compliant with Microsoft BizTalk 1.0 Specification
Sequoia Software Supports BizTalk Framework for Using XML Messages to
Streamline Interoperability Between Disparate Information Systems
COLUMBIA, Md.--January 11, 2000--Sequoia Software Corporation, the leading
provider of interactive enterprise information portals (EIPs), today
announced its support for Microsoft's BizTalk Framework, and that its
application for deploying interactive EIPs, Sequoia XML Portal Server
(XPS), is compliant with the BizTalk 1.0 specification. BizTalk compliance
provides benefits to systems administrators integrating Sequoia's XPS with
their legacy systems by reducing the effort required to transport
information between disparate systems.
With the BizTalk framework in place, administrators are able to more easily
connect their various applications within XPS. BizTalk speeds data exchange
by aiding in the transportation of data from legacy systems to XPS. At the
same time, it reduces the time and complexity involved in building software
connectors linking legacy systems and XPS.
"Sequoia's decision to make XPS BizTalk compliant was driven by the
advantages XML messaging brings to our customers," said Bryan Caporlette,
vice president of product management for Sequoia Software. "BizTalk
provides an open mechanism for exchanging XML messages between systems,
simplifying integration and the exchange of data between organizations."
Caporlette added, "With many of Sequoia's customers deploying portals that
support e-business applications, the ability to exchange data between
suppliers or business partners is paramount. BizTalk is an important
solution for customers whose operations are reliant on accessing trading
partner data, even when that data must be passed through corporate firewalls."
"Sequoia is one of the first enterprise information portal vendors to
support the BizTalk framework and offer a BizTalk compliant portal
solution," said Davide Vigano, director of healthcare and financial
services at Microsoft. "By adopting BackOffice and BizTalk, Sequoia is
providing their customers with a powerful, standards-based mechanism for
achieving XML-based interoperability across any application and OS. We
applaud their efforts and commitment to BizTalk."
Sequoia XPS 2.0 incorporates a unique data exchange interface that allows
XPS to communicate with external systems through XML messages. The new
interface provides two major benefits; first, it streamlines the data
transformation process to and from the portal, thus making it easier to
deliver more specific information to end-users. Secondly, because it
facilitates real-time connectivity, it enhances the Sequoia XML Portal
Server interactive functionality, specifically its ability to push user
input back to legacy systems.
Pricing and Availability Sequoia XPS 2.0 with BizTalk 1.0 compliance is
available immediately. For pricing information please call toll free (888)
820-7917.
