Attachmate Announces Web Services Systems Integrator & IT Consultant Recruitment Programme

Brussels, 6 December, 2001 – Attachmate, the ebusiness integration solutions provider, today announced that the company is looking to recruit high-calibre Benelux systems integration and IT consultancy partners to implement its Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Web Services solutions within the corporate sector.

“We want to recruit partners that specialise in offering their customers best-of-breed e-business integration solutions,” says Olivier Petel, Sales Manager Belgium and Luxembourg. “We concentrate purely on back office integration and have the proven track record to offer systems integrators and IT consultancy partners the right level of technical expertise and flexibility to make mission-critical e-business solutions happen.”

He adds: “As an Attachmate partner, these integrators will have the access to specialist web services solutions with the expertise to match, all of which make for a compelling business proposition.”

Underpinning Attachmate’s EAI technology will be its introduction of web services technology for the proprietary back-office environment. Wrapping web services around its core EAI component – Smart Connectors® - Attachmate intends to target those S.I. and IT consultancy partners with customers that require sophisticated back office integration currently not achievable when “locked” into one vendor’s e-business architecture.

Utilising each partner’s proven skill-sets to continue to further penetrate the corporate market, Attachmate aims to attract proactive integration partners with a desire to provide customers with a fast return on investment on e-business projects.

Converting legacy-native formats to and from XML with wholly non-invasive interaction with the back office, Attachmate’s Java-based Smart Connectors® only focus on the transaction requirements for e-business projects. With total interoperability with other EAI technologies, Attachmate’s Smart Connectors offer S.I. and IT consultancies freedom of component choice for integration projects and value for customers that require a bespoke integration solution rather than an “off-the-shelf” alternative.
