CrossWorlds Software, Inc., a leading provider of integration software for e-business, announced today that Delphi Automotive Systems , a world leader in automotive component and systems technology, has licensed CrossWorlds' business integration software solution.
CrossWorlds' business process integration solutions will allow Delphi to integrate its enterprise resource planning package, SAP R/3, throughout the organization to increase efficiency and enable data sharing across the manufacturing and supply chain.
"As a company with diverse product lines and a variety of suppliers and customers, we identified the need for business process integration early and chose CrossWorlds because they met our mission critical needs," said John Jalovec, director of global programs information systems and services, Delphi Automotive Systems. "We're looking forward to improved efficiency of data sharing and application integration through the CrossWorlds solution, which will provide an interface between SAP and Delphi's legacy and third-party systems."
Using CrossWorlds' Connector for SAP R/3, Designer toolset and several packaged business process Collaborations, Delphi will deploy the integratation solution to replace the company's current point-to-point system.
