Integration Validation with Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications Strengthens ASG-Zena

NAPLES, Fla. on 16 November 2006

ASG, a worldwide enterprise software and professional services provider to Global 5000 companies, today announced ASG-Zena™, a distributed workload scheduling and automation solution, has achieved integration validation with Oracle®’s PeopleSoft® Enterprise Applications via the Oracle PartnerNetwork Application Integration Initiative.

ASG-Zena extends ASG’s integrated scheduling and workload automation solutions to provide customers with unrivaled coverage in the IT operations management market in areas of process automation, batch integration, and event-driven scheduling. With the addition of validated integration with the PeopleSoft Enterprise applications, ASG-Zena provides the highest level of integration by utilizing a standardized and approved Peoplesoft interface. ASG is a Certified Partner in Oracle PartnerNetwork.

“Many enterprises use diverse platforms and packaged applications, such as Enterprise Resource Planning,” said Milind Govekar, Research Vice President of Gartner, Inc. “Complex business processes now start and end in different applications and platforms. To address batch business process, application integration and automation requirements, enterprises should examine the use of event-driven schedulers.”

ASG Vice President of the ASG Operations Management portfolio, Brian Anderson said, “Today’s enterprise applications lack the integration and automation required to fully manage the entire business process. With the validation of our integration to PeopleSoft, companies are now able to decrease the level of complexity and management for development and IT operations. From its inception, ASG-Zena was designed to simplify, integrate, and automate the disparity in today’s applications.”

Tom Herrmann, vice president, Worldwide ISV Management and Programs, Oracle said, “We are pleased with ASG-Zena’s integration validation with PeopleSoft because it extends the value of our clients’ investments. Our clients will now be able to integrate Peoplesoft applications across the enterprise.”

ASG-Zena’s JAVA-based architecture, broad technology support, and intelligent design allows users to create, implement, and automate processes across business applications such as those from Oracle and PeopleSoft, and environments including J2EE, Microsoft.NET, IBM Web Services, and WebSphere.

The Oracle PartnerNetwork Application Integration Initiative gives customers confidence that integrations between Oracle Applications and complementary ISV solutions have been validated and the products work together as designed. This can reduce risk, improve system implementation cycles, and provide for smoother upgrades and simpler maintenance. This initiative is available to qualifying partners in the Oracle PartnerNetwork, and applies a rigorous technical process to validate the integrations of third-party software to Oracle Applications products. Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) provides tools, resources and training to assist partners in the integration. Partners who have successfully validated their integrations are authorized to use the “Integrated with Oracle” logo.
