LOS GATOS, Calif., Sept. 22, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Clickmarks, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Semotus Solutions (AMEX:DLK), announced today that NTT Neomit (Kansai) has selected the Clickmarks Portlet Factory solution for integrating existing back-end applications into its internal Employee Portal. NTT Neomit Kansai is a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT West, providing construction and maintenance services for NTT's network, as well as System Integration and IT consulting services to large Japanese corporations.
NTT Neomit has a large group of field service consultants who provide system integration services for NTT customers. They needed to provide a web-based dashboard for their consultants that would give them unified access to backend CRM systems. Using Clickmarks, NTT Neomit is able to extract the requisite functionality and content from their CRM systems to create composite applications that are deployed on an Employee Portal. The result is an intuitive, web-based dashboard that provides real time access to customer accounts, parts inventory, warranty, and other information to its field service team, allowing the field consultants to address customer needs faster and provide more responsive service.
The Clickmarks Portlet Factory solution extends web, main-frame, and client server applications to Enterprise Portals including Plumtree, SunOne, Oracle, IBM, and BEA portal. Using patented Presentation Level Integration (PLI) technology, the Clickmarks Portlet Factory enables developers to integrate with an application's user interface, to create portlets, web services, and composite applications out of the application. This process dramatically reduces development time and eliminates the need to access an application's source code, APIs, or database.
"Acquiring a prestigious NTT group company such as NTT Neomit (Kansai) provides further validation of the value that Clickmarks Portlet factory brings to rapid portal content and application development", said Umair Khan, President of Clickmarks. "Consolidating information and application access using intranet and extranet portals improves business processes within and across companies, increasing productivity and reducing cost. Clickmarks' solutions enable corporations to realize this process improvement with the least amount of time and cost"
"I welcome the addition of NTT Neomit to our growing list of customers", said Anthony Lapine, CEO of Clickmarks and President and CEO of Semotus Solutions. "Integrating existing web and legacy systems into portals is a vital need across corporations worldwide. Clickmarks continues to demonstrate that it fulfils this need perfectly."
