Integration-as-a-Service (IaaS) Delivers Higher Speed While Lowering the Cost and Complexity of Business Integration

Seattle, Wash. – April 10, 2006 – Hubspan, Inc., a leading provider of business-to-business integration solutions today announced a new class of Integration-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions for delivering higher levels of execution speed between companies. IaaS represents a breakthrough approach that enables organizations to achieve more closely integrated processes, transactions and applications while radically lowering the cost and complexity of business integration. Through a single connection to the Hubspan on-demand service, businesses can drive new levels of speed and differentiation to customers by integrating transactions, processes and systems in a “straight-through” fashion across a diverse set of interdependent companies, customers, business unites, suppliers and partners.

“Organizations today are facing new pressures from customers who are demanding information delivery in seconds versus days,” said Hubspan CEO Al Higginson. “As a result, integration has become a customer issue, elevating the importance of cross-enterprise business integration. With Hubspan, businesses can rapidly adapt to changing conditions, lower the risk and cost structure of integration and achieve new levels of speed with customers, suppliers and partners, and even other business units.”

At the heart of Hubspan IaaS approach is a secure and reliable multi-tenant technology platform that underlies the Hubspan managed service. A single connection links a company with its customer’s and partner’s unique IT systems and business processes – regardless of differences in applications, systems, technologies or protocols. Through this on-demand service, mission-critical, supply chain and customer business processes such as procurement, production, inventory availability and order placement can be executed in real-time via a single, seamless connection. And, because it is a service, no upfront investments in hardware, software or people are needed. The service is available 24/7 and is highly reliable and secure, massively scalable and flexible enough to handle any existing infrastructure, technology or business process.
