ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 22 – Liaison Technologies, a global provider of secure cloud-based integration and data management services and solutions, announced today the expansion of its SaaS and cloud-based Application Partner Program. Building on the strength of existing relationships with key SaaS and Cloud-based application providers, including NetSuite, MS Dynamics, and Ariba, the expanded partner program will focus on enabling partners to streamline delivery of leading B2B and data management solutions for enterprises.
While many enterprises have historically leveraged internal resources to complete integration projects, the growing complexity of these projects, exacerbated by the increasing adoption of myriad cloud services, has more enterprises, cloud-based application and SaaS providers looking to simplify and outsource the integration to a Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) provider. As this practice becomes more commonplace, demand will rise for hybrid services such as Liaison, which are not only capable of integrating between cloud services, but between cloud services and existing on-premise systems.
“Integration is a core strength of Liaison, and our partner program combines over a decade of integration expertise with the application development and provisioning strengths that cloud-based application and SaaS vendors bring to the table,” said Megan Pulliam, Vice President of Channel Sales at Liaison Technologies. “The result is best-in-class end-to-end solutions for customers and a newfound ability for enterprises to discover and shape new opportunities for their business.”
In support of this expanded partner program, in November 2012 Liaison released new integration and data management solutions designed to streamline the coordination of many diverse applications, databases, and e-commerce formats commonly used in the enterprise. Electronic Commerce Server (ECS) 7.0, which includes a new cloud connector feature for simple one-click extensibility to ECS, and Delta 6.0, deliver broad extensibility and create a scalable and virtual computing infrastructure.
