Integrator software, combined with Extricity AllianceSeries, delivers a
complete e-commerce and B2B solution that integrates internal applications,

business integration leadership in the B2B e-commerce market," said Dave

product families provides a best-of-breed solution that enables today's
companies to use a single, integrated platform to simplify and seamlessly
manage the real-world complexity that exists among partners in today's
