Cactus Commerce Inc., a leading provider of software and services for e-business, announced at the 2006 U Connect Conference that their end-to-end Supply Chain Solutions will make optimal use of the new RFID and EDI capabilities in the upcoming release of Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2.
This news coincides with Microsoft Corp.'s announcement as well as Cactus' exhibit and interactive demonstrations in Booth No. 406 at the U Connect Conference being held this week, from June 6 - 8 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
"Cactus Commerce solutions offer vertical, application-level functionality designed to work in conjunction with Microsoft technologies such as BizTalk Server and Commerce Server to facilitate the flow of goods from the point of fabrication to consumption," said Jean-Yves Martineau, CTO and Co- Founder of Cactus Commerce. "With the addition of native support for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and AS2 standards, as well as RFID capabilities in the new BizTalk Server 2006 R2, customers can manage and communicate RFID data both internally as well as externally with trading partners, extending the reach of their existing business processes to improve supply chain efficiency."
U Connect Attendees will witness first-hand how Cactus and Microsoft technology enables an end-to-end supply chain solution for Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods Manufacturers with Global Data Synchronization (GDS), RFID and EDI. The demo in Cactus Booth No. 406 will showcase Cactus GDS Accelerator for BizTalk Server 2006 (a 1SYNC and Agentrics-Certified solution), Cactus Trade Server and Cactus RFID Framework.
"Linking mission-critical business processes outside of the organization is often too hard and too complex , leading to missed opportunities that can affect the bottom line," said Burley Kawasaki, group product manager for BizTalk Server product management at Microsoft. "The new capabilities in BizTalk Server 2006 R2 will further enable businesses to connect their business processes to the right device, the right information and the right trading partner."
