- Says Jim Sha, president and CEO of Actra: "Looking at
the entire ecosystem for Internet commerce, Actra
CrossCommerce focuses on wringing the cost out of
external business processes and improving customer
service. Companies are looking for a way to cash in on
the Internet by improving top line revenue and bottom
line returns in the commerce cycle, from both the supply
and demand sides. Actra CrossCommerce and the Internet
enables that to happen."
-
- Actra CrossCommerce integrates with existing
enterprise systems, while also protecting EDI investments
and extending them to the Internet. Actra CrossCommerce
is fully object-oriented using Common Object Request
Broker Architecture (CORBA), and is based on open,
interoperable Internet standards including Internet
Inter-ORB protocol (IIOP), S/MIME, SSL, EDIINT, and Java
as well as leveraging Netscape's CrossWare technology.
-
- Features of Actra CrossCommerce include procurement,
order management, EDI, customer identity management,
publishing and merchandising. Says Mike Kennedy, VP of
the Advanced Information Management division at Meta
Group: "Actra CrossCommerce is addressing a space in the
market that is potentially huge, and growing - the
Internet commerce applications space. The solid, well
thought out, extensible architecture that leverages open
standards - such as CORBA and IIOP - on which Actra
CrossCommerce is built, makes Actra an interesting
proposition for any Fortune 1000 company looking to
extend its Internet commerce activities."
