(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 28, 2000 ) REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., November 28, 2000 - SeeBeyond (Nasdaq: SBYN), the leading global provider of eBusiness Integration (eBI) solutions, today announced significant enhancements to its e*Xchange eBusiness Integrationä Suite. With increasing momentum, the e*Xchange eBI suite is fast becoming the platform of choice for Global 2000 companies and B2B trading exchanges seeking to upgrade their business infrastructures for the new digital economy.Streamlining and automating business processes within an enterprise and among its trading partners can be an extremely costly and complex process. Due to geographically dispersed and disparate systems, it is often difficult to deliver on the demands and promises of true eBusiness, such as offering product availability and shipment status in real-time."The rapid adoption of global eBusiness has challenged today's companies to continually reinvent themselves and to adapt to the dynamic needs of their customers and trading partners," said Jim Demetriades, founder, chairman and CEO for SeeBeyond. "With our continued commitment to helping companies see beyond their corporate and geographic boundaries, the enhanced and fully integrated e*Xchange suite provides a rock solid foundation to help companies address these challenges and ready themselves for future eBusiness needs."SeeBeyond's fully integrated e*Xchange eBI Suite provides a rock solid foundation for the three pillars of eBusiness, namely business process management, trading partner relationships and application integration. This enhanced suite delivers fully supported features for each of these pillars on a global basis.Business Process Management (BPM)Significantly simplifying partner and application connectivity by enabling business user participation, the SeeBeyond eBusiness Process Manager now incorporates standard modeling constructs, based on the Universal Modeling Language (UML) and powerful end user business rule definitions using a Javascript-based graphical expression builder. It also greatly simplifies complex business processes through sub-processes and process hierarchies, allowing companies to abstract out lower level complexities or re-use previously defined processing steps. Other enhancements to the eBPM include:· Activity timeouts for proactive exception handling through automated or manual resolution· Analytical enhancements for process monitoring and analysis· Javascript-based activity scripts to encapsulate high level business logic within the business process environmentTrading Partner Management (B2B)The ePartner Manager not only stores and configures trading partner profiles, but it also binds the partner transaction types, communications and messages. In addition to real-time interaction, this new release adds capabilities for batch communication, regardless of the eBusiness protocol. Batch communication provides very efficient partner connectivity and is a popular approach for EDI or XML-based exchanges.Application and System Integration (A2A)With its scalable architecture and distributed deployment options, e*Gateä Integrator, the foundation of the suite, is the most widely deployed integration platform worldwide. Graphical enhancements for develop/test/deploy activities, as well as component security and user role definitions, provide improved usability and shortened deployment cycles. Specifically, the enhanced security capabilities provide:· Assigned users, roles and custom privileges· Mapped roles and privileges to individual components or site-wide deployments· Open architecture to support custom security extensions or facilitiesAdditionally, e*Gate packages pre-built connectivity to dozens of applications and most major protocols including: BroadVision, SAP, Siebel, Oracle, CORBA, COM, CICS, IMS, LDAP, Lotus Notes, MQSeries, Microsoft IIS, Apache, WebSphere and WAP.
