Partner Press Release For Release December 16, 2002
Redwood City, CA --
Growing demand for RosettaNet-based messaging among companies currently on EDI
networks has resulted in a greater need for plug-and-trade technology solutions that are able to
support multiple communication processes with minimal disruption to existing business operations.
In this implementation,
Printronix strengthened its technology leadership in servicing customer needs by
facilitating RosettaNet-based transactions through enhancing its existing TIE eVision system with
TIE Integrator for XML data transformation and GridTalk™ for RosettaNet.
"
After an extensive evaluation of integration vendors, it was
clear that the TIE-GridNode solution offered the most flexibility and value overall,"
said Kate Squyres, Printronix Information Systems Project
Manager.
"
The project managers were positive, professional and responsive
through emails, phone calls and on-site visits. It was easy adding new RosettaNet Partner Interface
Processes (PIPs
®) and making changes to existing PIPs.
The TIE-GridNode product provided for the best of
breed, end-to-end integration solution, resulting in a stable and efficient production
environment, which was the ultimate goal."
"TIE evaluated various solutions-based companies before
choosing GridNode as a technology partner.
Many of the vendors claimed RosettaNet readiness, but when we began
assessing technical specifications and related capabilities, the support for RosettaNet's
Implementation Framework (RNIF) 2.0 wasn't there," said Mike Kersels, head of Product Management
for TIE US. "GridNode delivered on what they promised. The result is a cost-effective and
easy-to-implement business-to-business integration solution, specifically meeting the requirements
of RosettaNet and the high-tech industry."
"TIE and GridNode have each leveraged the other's proven technology to meet customers' stringent requirements around improved business integration. Our in-depth experience is key to delivering successful customer implementations," said CheeTong Leow, Managing Director of GridNode. "The Printronix implementation is a prime example of how we have enabled rapid plug-and-trade connectivity through open-standards and modular components." About Printronix Inc.
