Overview
SunSystems eBusiness Gateway is a powerful electronic gateway that enables you to integrate between SunSystems and your other business applications.
Using the SunSystems eBusiness Gateway, you can integrate with web applications or portals, front office systems or other external applications.
Key features at a glance:
- Allows other applications to seamlessly integrate directly with SunSystems functionality and data. For example, if you have developed an internet-based application, you could use SunSystems eBusiness Gateway to remotely check account balances, to update currency exchange rates or to access supplier/customer information
- Uses the industry standard XML (Extensible Markup Language) protocol
- Data held in SunSystems can be queried, created or updated directly from other applications
- Data transferred into SunSystems is fully validated through SunSystems business logic
Connecting between SunSystems and other applications
Using the eBusiness Gateway, it is possible for other applications to inquire on SunSystems data such as looking at address information or checking an inventory balance. In addition, transactions can be transferred into SunSystems from other applications - for example, sales and purchase orders created in another application can be transferred to SunSystems.
How does the eBusiness Gateway work?
The Gateway uses a simple messaging interface that does not require intimate knowledge of the internal operation of SunSystems. Each function or transaction is defined as an XML formatted message. All data returned by the Gateway is also in an XML format, highly suitable for display in a browser or interpretation by the web application.
Although designed with web-based applications in mind, the eBusiness Gateway can be used successfully with other applications and services. It provides an entry point for EDI messages, an interface to workflow engines and can even be used to pass data and transactions between SunSystems installations.
SunSystems eBusiness Gateway delivers…
- Proven SunSystems application functionality integrated into an e-business environment
- Integration capabilities of SunSystems 4 to enable you to design web applications that need real time access to SunSystems 4, where located both locally and remotely
- Powerful process management to ensure transactions move seamlessly between people and systems
- A platform for sharing data and processes with suppliers or customers, as XML provides an industry standard mechanism for connecting organizations
