Webmethods, Blue Turtle Technologies launch SA road show: the value of business integration

WebMethods, Inc the leading independent provider of integration software, and Blue Turtle Technologies, its South African representative, hosted a seminar in SA highlighting the integration imperative and webMethods` integration solutions.

"This road show underlines our commitment to the South African market," adds Kevin Day, sales director, Emerging Markets, webMethods, Inc. "With 11 customers in SA already using webMethods` integration technology in various vertical sectors, we believe that South African companies are starting to embrace business integration as a way to make their businesses more agile and competitive. WebMethods, through its partnership with Blue Turtle Technologies, is determined to help make these companies successful."

"Integration is a complex topic without much business precedent. Unfortunately, some companies in SA still regard integration as an IT problem and delegate the IT department to providing the solution," says Geoff Hardwick, general manager, Enterprise Applications, Blue Turtle Technologies.

"As a result, many IT departments resolve the integration issues at the data level by implementing point-to-point application integration solutions. These solutions do not, however, address integration at the more beneficial business process level. This road show provides webMethods and Blue Turtle Technologies an opportunity to highlight the benefits of addressing integration issues in the broader business context to deliver true business value."

The Johannesburg seminar took place on Tuesday, 8 July, at 7am CET, and featured a keynote address from Brett Reid, Manager, Product Marketing, webMethods, Inc. Attendees also met local webMethods customers, eFreight and Affinity Logic, who presented the business benefits delivered by webMethods
