Original Press Release:
Pervasive Announces New Integration Solution for Appforce at Dreamforce '05
New Solution Enables Enterprise Software Users to Integrate With salesforce.com
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 13 / -- Pervasive Software(R) Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in data infrastructure software, and salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), the market and technology leader in on-demand customer relationship management, today announced the availability of a comprehensive synchronization solution for key business information between Salesforce and enterprise software applications like SAP. Pervasive delivers full function adapters for both Salesforce and SAP R/3 along with pre-built integration processes for common integration tasks in a ready-to-configure solution.
Many companies depend on SAP to manage back-end processes such as accounting, manufacturing, inventory, and HR. However, as companies become more customer centric, mobile, and virtual, the integration of key information between CRM systems such as Salesforce and back-office applications such as SAP becomes a critical element in driving business success.
"Now salesforce.com customers can get the best of both worlds -- a best- in-class on-demand CRM solution and access to information from a world-leading ERP solution," said Koen De Witte, worldwide vice president of marketing for Pervasive. "Synchronizing Salesforce and SAP information is now routine, and affordable, with Pervasive's ready-to-configure solution."
The ready-to-configure solution dramatically shortens implementation time, while eliminating the cost, risk and complexity of other alternatives. This pre-built functionality eliminates up to 75% of the cost and time compared to traditional software based solutions. Integration can be executed quickly and easily, fully enabling the use of SAP information within Salesforce accounts. Companies using salesforce.com can improve customer centricity, improve operational efficiencies by pushing more information to customer facing functions and eliminate manual re-keying, phone, fax and email based tasks to share information.
"The Pervasive integration solution directly addresses and solves several key integration issues for our customers," said Adam Gross, Director of Product Marketing, salesforce.com. "It provides the comprehensive integration with SAP that our customers demand as they deploy the rich capabilities of Salesforce.com."
According to research at Datamonitor, "The dynamic nature of today's business environment means that organizations are demanding integration- enabled applications that are simple to use and update, and that can be quickly integrated with their underlying infrastructure" (Closing the ISV Integration Gap, March 2005).
The Pervasive solution provides a comprehensive offering that includes integration software licenses, pre-defined business processes, installation, and configuration services. Everything needed to synchronize, update, and download key data elements between systems is included. Pricing varies depending on actual customer system requirements and professional services needs, with pricing starting at $30,000.
Combining deep knowledge and 20 years of migration and integration expertise, Pervasive provides easy-to-use, cost-effective migration and integration technology, services, training and partner programs. These programs help ISVs, ASPs and systems integrators transform their applications into "integration-ready" solutions that are scalable from one-time data migrations to ongoing application integration within and beyond organizational boundaries. The foundation of these partner services is a flexible business model for partners to OEM, resell, or co-market Pervasive integration technology for a comprehensive customer solution with low total cost of ownership.
