Introducing the BEA WebLogic Adapter for Manugistics
for immediate integration with other applications. The BEA WebLogic Adapter for
Manugistics uses the Manuba batch process to import data to and export data from the
Manugistics database, or universal data model.
The BEA WebLogic Adapter for Manugistics is an off-the-shelf solution that
simplifies the process of real-time integration of Manugistics with other systems.
Adapter technology removes the need for costly point-to-point computing
environments that are often restrictive and provide little flexibility for change.
As the computing environment expands to include legacy systems, ERP packages,
SCM packages, CRM packages, EDI networks, B2B exchanges, and the Internet, the
cost and complexity of application integration maintenance grows. In some cases, the
point-to-point solution cannot be expanded at all, forcing the integration to be
re-engineered. By using the BEA WebLogic Adapter for Manugistics in combination
with BEA WebLogic Integration, true integration of Manugistics with all your various
disparate applications is not only possible, it is very easy.
Whether you are moving information into or out of Manugistics, the BEA WebLogic
Adapter for Manugistics provides a proven, easy to use, cost effective architecture that:
Protects your organization's investment in legacy systems.
Reduces the cost of your integration projects.
Provides the infrastructure to manage change in an ever-changing business
environment.
Key features of the BEA WebLogic Adapter for Manugistics include:
Support for bi-directional message interaction with Manugistics.

adapter integration operations with Manugistics presenting XML schemas to
WebLogic Integration Studio.
