PRESS RELEASE: LOW-COST APPROACH TO COMBINING EXISTING SOFTWARE

September 17, 2009 - Jersey City, NJ (USA) - GL Associates is pleased to announce the publication of Dr. Steele Arbeeny's white paper, "Enterprise Application Integration: A low-cost approach to combining existing software to increase productivity, compliance and accuracy", in Quests's Fall 2009 edition of Q&A Magazine. With nearly 30 years of leadership as business systems consultants, GL Associates and Dr. Arbeeny, VP and Director of Strategic Business Technologies, help readers understand how inefficient data flow between business software applications costs companies large sums of money. Dr. Arbeeny explains how implementing simple, custom applications to integrate existing software improves accuracy and reduces costs, saving money that many organizations don't even know they're losing.

Poor data integration across the enterprise is a common problem for many businesses because it impedes performance, increases cost and hinders compliance. This paper presents a clear overview of the benefits of bridging the data communication gap between ERP (JD Edwards, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Lawson and MAPICS), legacy and business process systems with custom enterprise application integration from GL Associates. These cost-effective industry solutions utilize behind-the-scenes data feeds that leverage technology with easy-to-use tools which can be accessed from both web-based and mobile applications.

"The fix for poor data integration is not nearly as difficult as the problem," Arbeeny writes. "Enterprise application integration bridges the gaps that exist between large software applications to streamline business processes, ensure accuracy and strengthen controls. With application integration, information can flow across the enterprise on an as-needed basis without manual intervention and without time spent waiting for spreadsheets to be exported and imported."

A GL Associates integration solution will ensure systems are communicating so that the overall business productivity increases.
