Full integration with eMerge's business rules engine and development environment translates into higher productivity in handling real-world integration challenges. eMerge™ XML messaging supports both synchronous and asynchronous modes of processing.
J2EE and .NET Support – enabling easy integration within J2EE and .NET architectures, including eMerge Resource Adapter which implements a J2EE connector according to the SUN Java Connector Architecture specification and EJB Binding – the ability to access eMerge™ objects from an EJB container.
Using these new features, enterprises that have previously leveraged eMerge™ to define highly complex business logic and execute heavy duty transaction-intensive enterprise class work loads can now use industry standard technologies to rapidly extend the value of their eMerge™ business-rules technology to all corners of the enterprise.
Remarking on the release, Mr. Itzick Sharir, President and CEO of Sapiens International said: “This new generation of eMerge™ demonstrates our continued commitment to enhancing and ‘future proofing’ our technology.
