"For years, Catalyst has been recognized by analysts, consultants and customers for our depth of functionality. We've leveraged that rich functionality and are now offering it using a new technology architecture to provide the "next generation" in supply chain execution software," said Jim Treleaven, Catalyst President and CEO. "CatalystCommand 9.0 is the first stop on this new and exciting product roadmap."
Additionally, Catalyst now offers an expanded range of consulting services - from pre- and post-installation audits to data analysis and risk management - to ensure best practices are being followed and to maximize the value of supply chain execution solutions.
The CatalystCommand 9.0 platform features the Apache web server to provide a simplified, homogeneous architecture and a stable and secure solution set. Apache is the market leader among all Internet web servers with 56% of the market. The new architecture also includes a complete event management backbone that will allow for system-generated notification of alerts when exception conditions occur within the supply chain. These alerts can be received via e-mail, pager, cell phone, PDA, or any other SMTP device.
