SOALogix announced the availability of its Confero EPM (Enterprise Project Management) integration appliance.  Encapsulating best-practices gained from hundreds of projects, Confero EPM solves pressing project management-related business and IT challenges associated with earned value management (technique used for measuring project progress in an objective manner), fiscal planning, portfolio management, plant maintenance/ turnaround, etc.  An industry first, with Confero EPM in place, implementation time is now measured in days, not months, without sacrificing the flexibility needed to make business and IT changes.

Confero EPM enables enterprises to share information among applications quickly and cost-effectively.  More than data integration, Confero EPM enforces business processes and extends the life of critical applications by incorporating them into service-oriented architectures. Confero EPM not only eliminates costly customizations associated with traditional integration solutions, but also delivers the required combination of unmatched time-to-go-live, investment protection, and agility.

Key Confero EPM business and IT benefits include:

• Includes out-of-the-box connectors and pre-built, best-practice data mappings, workflows, and business process templates specifically designed for enterprise project management. Integration projects take days, not months.
• Combines the flexibility advantages of SOA with an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop configuration tool, PathStudio. PathStudio enables you to easily incorporate, enforce, and change business processes through configuration, not custom coding.
• Comes packaged with an unprecedented standard maintenance support policy, SurePath.  

“At SOALogix, we are experts at solving EPM integration challenges because we have lived through hundreds of EPM projects with our clients,” said Rex Ahlstrom, CEO, SOALogix, Inc. “We’ve combined this experience with an integration appliance built from the ground up using SOA. The result is a game changing alternative for global companies that are tired of living through over-budget, overdue, and inflexible integration efforts.”
