Core Bank Integrator - Inventory Module (CBI-INV) In the Works!

CBI-I is designed to fill the void created by most ERP systems' inability to store dirty cores in its inventory system. It is available as an add-on module to the CBI-AR acceptance functionality, and as a front-end to the future CBI-AP module. Version 1.0 is scheduled to be released before the calendar year-end. To review features of this module, please check out CBI-INV.

CMSR Integrator (CMSR-I)

Microsoft® Windows 2003/SQL2000 Server Platform Tests

CBI-AR passed the Veritest-administered Microsoft® ISV/Software Solutions Platform tests during August of this year, including the Windows® Authentication Security and SQL data access components. Microsoft® Product testing is an important step toward gaining additional market recognition.

CBI XML Web Services

XML Web services have become the platform for application integration communicating with each other in a standards-based way over the Internet. The CBI Web Services expose (announce and offer) or can consume (use) Web services created by Third Party ERP solutions. This provides the ability to deliver integrated, interoperable solutions among programs written in different languages on different platforms. This technology replaces older techniques such as FTP file transfers between disparate environments, or the need to license additional platform connectivity software. ERP vendor components become available "off-the shelf" after site development.
