Putten, the Netherlands and Hoorn, the Netherlands — October 3, 2007 — Cordys, provider of an industry-leading Business Process Management Suite (BPMS), and SRC System Integrators, the leading provider of EDI/B2Bi solutions and European market leader with the sophisticated SRC-PDM Product Information Management solution, today announced their partnership at “Cordial,” Cordys’ annual customer and partner event.
With this partnership, joint customers of Cordys and SRC gain a more comprehensive Product Data Manager (PDM) and B2B solution that helps to optimize the provisioning and management of product information.
“We are delighted to announce this partnership with SRC,” said Reint Jan Holterman, Director Technology Alliances for Cordys. “Our joint customers benefit from an integrated SRC and Cordys solution that provides a superior way of handling large volumes of standardized data, while at the same time introducing the flexibility to adapt and enrich these data to customer specific needs, avoiding human errors and do so at a lower cost.”
SRC’s data management solution connects to and “unlocks” product information databases in a standardized way for enterprises, such as retailers, who have hundreds of thousands of products in stock. Cordys then builds and orchestrates a human workflow that allows these companies to enrich their standard product information with their own specific information, such as discount levels or storage requirements.
SRC also provides B2B integration connectors for enterprises exchanging large batches of production orders that need to be handled by the production system. Cordys adds value by modeling and orchestrating the process of exceptions, such as how to handle production orders that exceed a certain item quantity or total order value. Additional system checks and human interventions can be orchestrated through Cordys.
“The current joint customer projects we are involved in indicate to us that it is only logical to take the next step and further formalize our successful cooperation, allowing our customers to easily get the best of both worlds,” said Arjan Sloot, CEO for SRC.
Prior to closing this partnership, Cordys and SRC have already demonstrated how Cordys’ business process management technology seamlessly interacts with the broad range of SRC’s EDI/B2Bi solutions as well as with SRC-PDM. SRC and Cordys have teamed up and actively showcased their combined solutions in several customer engagements.
