CyBiz Enables Seamless Communications across e-Commerce Platforms and Announces its Ariba Catalog PunchOut Module
RESTON, Virginia, November 11, 2002 - CyBiz, Inc., a leading provider of e-Procurement and Supplier Enablement solutions today announced the release of Version 4.1 of its e-procurement and supplier enablement software solutions. The new CyBiz 4.1 platform enhances the integration capabilities with ERP systems and other trading partner platforms. CyBiz also announces its out-of-the-box Ariba Catalog PunchOut module.
Utilizing Microsoft® BizTalk and Microsoft .Net Servers, CyBiz reduces the development time to integrate into ERP systems such as SAP, Great Plains and Oracle. Directly from the CyBiz Web interface, integrators and customers can enable ERP integration from CyBiz to an ERP system for purchase order, invoice and receipt documents. Customers can also select a manual or electronic posting of the documents from CyBiz to the ERP system and check the status and history of the document posting. The enhanced ERP Integration module is available on the buy-side and sell-side of the CyBiz solution offering both buyers and suppliers the capability to seamlessly integrate to back office systems.
"The CyBiz 4.1 platform embraces our current and long-term business strategy," stated Bill Gollan, President and CEO, CyBiz. "We want to position our product suite as a platform that can seamlessly integrate with and complement customers' existing ERP, e-procurement and supplier enablement solutions. The CyBiz platform combined with a talented team of technical leads and software developers enables us to guarantee fixed pricing for our integration services.
"The CyBiz 4.1 platform also enhances the capability to communicate with other trading partner platforms. CyBiz introduces its Remote Buying Company (RBC) module which offers CyBiz Sellers™ the ability to connect to customers that have implemented other e-procurement platforms such as Ariba, CommerceOne, or CyBiz Buyer. Out-of-the-box, CyBiz Sellers can connect to Ariba Buyers once the supplier is registered and certified on the Ariba® Supplier Network™. This new module allows buyers to access suppliers' catalog content through their own procurement application while providing a cost effective way for CyBiz Sellers to manage their own content and pricing from one interface.
"The CyBiz RBC module was essential to our business," stated Fares Koudsi, President and COO, SIGMAnet. "Having chosen and implemented the CyBiz sell-side platform for our SIGMAnet web store front, we can design custom catalogs to meet most organizations purchasing requirements." SIGMAnet is using the RBC module and has successfully completed the requirements for Ariba® PunchOut designation for online transactions with Ariba Buyers to SIGMAnet's web store front powered by CyBiz.
Other key enhancements to the CyBiz platform include:
"The CyBiz Workflow tool is one of the key reasons customers choose the CyBiz platform for their e-procurement initiatives," said John Sapone, VP Sales, Syscom Technologies. "The new conditional routing feature has allowed Syscom Technologies to implement one of the company's largest CyBiz Buyer solutions thus far, with minimal customizations. Out-of-the-box, the CyBiz software can replicate any business process offering an affordable and flexible solution to customers of all sizes and needs."
