Vigience and NEC System Technologies announce the Enterprise Gateway
Wednesday, 22. April 2009
Vigience and NEC System Technologies collaborate on a new SaaS offering: the Enterprise
Gateway service will provide unique on-demand connectivity between SAP, Salesforce.com,
Oracle, SQL Server, BI tools and other systems. This is "Integration-as-a-Service"
and will be of particular interest to a lot of SAP customers. The option to have
SAP data natively available on-demand in Salesforce.com's enterprise cloud computing
platform provides a powerful incentive to any SAP customer to do their SAP add-on
developments in Force.com. Since both Force.com and the Enterprise Gateway are provided
as a subscription-based service, customers can avoid upfront expenses and only need
to pay based on actual usage. Vigience and NEC System Technologies will jointly
develop and market the service. See the Press
release for more information (for our Japanese readers, please read the
Japanese press release).
