Busting the Barrier: Pervasive Software Release Changes the Speed and Economics of SaaS Integration
Share:
AUSTIN, Texas, April 4 / -- Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in embeddable data management and integration software, today announced the release of Pervasive SaaS Data Integrator(TM) and Pervasive SaaS Business Integrator(TM), delivering a SaaS integration breakthrough combining truly affordable cost with highly robust integration capabilities. As the paradigm shift toward the software-as-a- service (SaaS) business model powers forward, Pervasive steps forward to provide a range of integration options for SaaS and on-premises systems with entry-level subscription pricing starting at $300 per month.
With hundreds of salesforce.com customers and implementation times that can be measured in hours or days rather than weeks or months, Pervasive helps break the cost and time logjam for SaaS customers and partners. Pervasive now delivers affordable subscription pricing that makes SaaS accessible to a broader range of customers.
"As one of the first data integration partners to support salesforce.com, Pervasive has shown the capability to not only handle complex and challenging application integrations but also to deliver solutions that consistently accelerate time to value for our customers," said Cindy Warner, senior vice president, global technology services, salesforce.com. "Pervasive continues to demonstrate leadership in providing integration solutions that quickly and affordably drive on-demand customer success."
"Pervasive deserves a standing ovation for the visual elegance of the user interface changes in Pervasive Business Integrator(TM) Map Designer. We especially like the new event wizard for mapping out targets and events for salesforce.com as it leverages the latest salesforce.com API. Pervasive has managed to incorporate hidden sophistication in the background, making it easier to use and even possible for non-technical people to use the tools if we desire," said Mark Matte, developer at SunTrust Banks, Inc. "The flexibility of Pervasive's new offering gives us not only higher ROI but the ability to pursue a SaaS strategy for our business with confidence that integration will not be an obstacle."
The latest version of integration tools from Pervasive features critical SaaS connectors to customer relationship management (CRM) systems, including salesforce.com's Spring '07, Oracle Siebel CRM OnDemand 12 and NetSuite, elegantly integrating these SaaS applications to a wide range of on-premises applications including SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamic CRM. Map Designer enhancements accelerate productivity with multiple mapping "views" of the same transformation, allowing both new and existing users, including non-technical users, to more rapidly and easily perform data source and target mapping. The efficient dynamic mapping capabilities remove maintenance overhead by empowering users to create and change maps on the fly.
"Although customer interest and adoption of the SaaS business model is escalating, many organizations are still hesitant to consider this software alternative because they are concerned about potential data integration issues," according to Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies, Inc. and founder of the SaaS Showplace, an online directory of SaaS solutions. "Pervasive Software's latest offerings should help to alleviate these concerns and further demonstrate that organizations can fully leverage their existing data sources when they adopt new SaaS solutions."
"The true power of SaaS depends on the ability to integrate data from both legacy and SaaS applications with a low cost of adoption," said Mike Hoskins, CTO of Pervasive Software. "Pervasive continues to lead the SaaS data integration market by innovating in the delivery of highly robust adapters, including the ability to reach behind the firewall to legacy systems via our innovative on-demand data gateway. At the same time, we provide a simple, easy-to-use interface that lets customers easily integrate a broad array of applications and data sources. We give customers and partners explosive productivity with this powerful combination."
