Toronto, ON - ESRI Canada and Information Builders today announced a partnership where ESRI Canada will provide Information Builder's iWay Software integration technology and WebFOCUS business intelligence software in Canada. ESRI Canada users will benefit from iWay adapter technology, which provides commercial off the shelf integration technology for over 280 systems such as SAP, Seibel, PeopleSoft, J.D. Edwards, and many others.
"We are very excited about the opportunities that exist for implementing the iWay Adaptive Framework," said Alex Miller, President ESRI Canada. "The iWay adapter technology will help with integrating GIS and leading enterprise systems. Our users will benefit from proven technology for integrating systems and geo-enabling their enterprise applications allowing them to leverage the power of GIS throughout their organizations." "This partnership is a natural fit for both ESRI Canada and Information Builders," said Brian Joynt, Vice President and General Manager Canadian Region, Information Builders. "ESRI Canada can provide their customers with additional functionality, extending the reach of their GIS solution and providing an end to end solution - from data to reports to visualization Information Builders' WebFOCUS reporting tool will take the geospatial information combined with any other information source in the enterprise to create reports and deliver them enterprise wide. This partnership opens new market opportunities for our award winning solutions" adds Brian. In the past, writing code to retrieve and enrich information that needs to be loaded into a GIS system has required customer programming, testing, and ongoing maintenance effort. iWay adapters allow code-free access to data, applications, and technologies, to vastly reduce the time and risk associated with the integration effort. With over 280 adapters and the ability for additional adapters to be developed through the iWay Adapter Factory, ESRI's software can access any type of applications or data store in the enterprise. Additionally, iWay has developed adapters for ESRI's ArcSDE that are specifically designed for working with geocoding and geospatial technologies, and can integrate with the other iWay adapters to bring information into the GIS application using point-and-click tools.
