NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - April 24, 2008) - iWay Software, an Information Builders company
and an innovator of enterprise
integration solutions, announced today that it has recently completed
an iWay Advisory Council meeting at its headquarters in New York City. The
two-day session brought together executives from leading organizations such
as: Associated Wholesalers, BT, Century Business Services, Coty, Dexterra,
Federal Reserve Bank, NAIC, PACCAR, Prym Consumer, Sunoco Incorporated, and
TNT Express to discuss the future development of iWay software products and
best practices for integration projects.
The key objective of the Advisory Council is to share customer
implementation stories and discuss how iWay software can improve its
offerings to help make integration projects easier and more valuable to
organizations. John Senor, iWay Software president and J.T. Taylor, CTO,
both shared presentations around the vision and future direction of iWay
software with attendees. The group also heard directly from BT, Dexterra,
and Prym on their current initiatives, challenges, and successes with the
iWay software products.
"iWay Software understands the value of customer feedback and the
importance of our input into the development of its products," said Gary
Gallant, VP information management, Coty Inc. "This session brings
together leading IT and business professionals from a cross-section of
vertical markets to share our experiences with integration and SOA
technologies. I don't think anyone ever leaves without a new idea or
concept to bring back to their desks."
"This is one of the most valuable communication channels we have with our
customers," said John Senor, president of iWay Software. "This forum gives
us the opportunity to share product enhancements and development ideas with
customers and allows them to share real-time feedback and concerns with us.
Since the Advisory Council's inception four years ago, many enhancements to
the product suite can be attributed directly to the insights we received
from this group."
Other integration themes from the council included packaged applications,
B2B protocols, SOA governance, XML, and business activity monitoring (BAM).
