• 08/15/2000

Jacada Ltd. (Atlanta) and Relativity Technologies (Research Triangle Park, N.C.) announced this week they have entered into a joint marketing and sales alliance to strengthen both companies’ e-business offerings.

The partnership between Relativity and Jacada is designed to assist companies who are working to adapt their legacy systems for e-business in finding the correct solution to suit their specific needs.

The alliance combines Jacada's experience in e-business infrastructure software and Relativity's legacy-to-e-business transformation solutions.

"Jacada and Relativity technologies are extremely complementary and formulate a solution that enables corporations to leverage their investments in host-based applications for e-business," says Chip LeBlanc, vice president of business development for Jacada. "Jacada chose to partner with Relativity because of its experience in componentizing and transforming legacy business processes into open architectures. This complements Jacada's ability to rapidly transform legacy applications to e-business and wireless solutions."

Jacada software provides a complete infrastructure to Internet-enable the presentation layer of legacy applications for use in e-business solutions as well as to empower enterprise developers to build Internet applications. Relativity's RescueWare® is an end-to-end solution that automates the process of identifying, extracting and transforming mission-critical legacy application-based business processes into open, component-based architectures that can be integrated with e-business technologies.

"The combination of Relativity's RescueWare, which transforms mission-critical legacy application programs for use in e-business, and Jacada, which transforms the presentation logic of those same applications, is a truly powerful solution for corporations integrating their business with the Internet," said Rich Cronheim, vice president of marketing and strategic alliances, at Relativity.
