Bluware Solution Integrates Livelink Collaboration and Workflow with Oracle E-Business Suite

Bluware s InteGreat product marries the best of Livelink with Oracle E-Business Suite modules allowing for seamless flow of documents, data and business workflows.

Houston, TX - 2003-11-12 - Bluware Inc., an Open Text Global Alliance Partner, today announced the availability of Bluware InteGreat®, a product that connects Open Text s ECM suite Livelink® with Oracle s E-Business Suite. The product lets businesses streamline their processes from paper format all the way through to final transaction in their Oracle applications. These features will allow organizations to reduce costs in paper handling, minimize human error , increase efficiencies in the approval processes for documents, improve security, and audit of workflows. Bluware InteGreat adds collaboration and increased workflow functions to the Livelink product by extending the Oracle workflow features in the client s ERP system.
Bluware announced the news at LiveLinkUp Orlando 2003, Open Text s annual users conference underway this week, November 3rd-6th.

Bluware InteGreat supports Oracle E-business Suite versions up to 11.5.9 on UNIX, NT based and LINUX platforms. Livelink s collaboration and content management features include robust workflows which automate processes so that businesses can operate more efficiently and reduce costs. Now with the Bluware InteGreat product line, businesses that run on Oracle Applications can realize these same benefits all the way through their ERP system.

Bluware, Inc., a professional services firm that has developed a series of product offerings based on market demand, has been in business since 1987. It s high standard of professional service and client satisfaction has positioned Bluware for continued growth since its inception. Bluware partnered with Open Text in 1999 after researching multiple collaboration and content management solutions on the market. Bluware chose Livelink because it was the most flexible and client centric product to satisfy the needs of Bluware s demanding client base.

Bluware is currently implementing the InteGreat solution within a global firm that plans to deploy the solution worldwide within the next six months. The North American deployment is scheduled to complete and in production by the end of this year.

Tracking invoices from vendors and suppliers in paper format is a main concern for our Oracle clients, said Tina Jones, Executive Vice President of Business Development at Bluware. To improve our clients invoice payment processes we recommend Livelink with integration to Oracle s e-business suite. This application marriage allows our clients to receive documents, track them electronically and route them through approvals and payment, all through workflow technology.

The InteGreat product takes advantage of functionality that already exists in both systems. Information flows between both systems provide updates of documents and data to ensure consistency all the way through the business process. Corporations that have already invested in Oracle applications and in Livelink find this solution to be a natural fit in their business architecture. Business workflows that were once people intensive can be facilitated with automation and delivered through standard email technology or the Oracle notifications screens.

Bluware is dedicated to solving the need to integrate Open Text s Livelink with the Oracle e-business suite. We have built our firm on Oracle and stand behind the features that both products offer our clients and the clients of Open Text. Our product development team, along with our client users, are finding new uses for the InteGreat API. The possibilities are endless, said Jerry Ward, Product Development Manager at Bluware, Inc.

Current functionality in the product allows integration with payables, projects, human resources, and self-service modules. The system allows for mark up of the documents, audit of the workflow process, approvals, redirects, attachment of notes and back-end validation. Bluware also plans to introduce Bluware InteGreat modules for additional Oracle modules in the first quarter of 2004.

Online demonstrations of the product are scheduled throughout LiveLinkUp Orlando. . Bluware will be in booth #19. Jerry Ward, Product Manager and Stacy Kauffman, Oracle Systems Consultant, will be showing the InteGreat product in a presentation. Please refer to the schedule of presenters for the time and date for their live presentation at LiveLinkUp Orlando, November 3rd through the 6th. Visit the LiveLinkUp Orlando site for more information. Additional InteGreat demonstrations are scheduled every month throughout 2003. Please email demos@bluware.com for Meeting Zone information on attending a demo session.
