Ten of Wal-Mart`s Top Suppliers Using Cyclone-Either Through Direct Purchase or Through OEM Partnerships with
IBM and Sterling Commerce
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - November 18, 2002 - Cyclone Commerce, the leading
provider of solutions that help companies "simply connect" to their
trading partners over the Internet, announced today that consumer
packaged goods and retail companies continued their rapid pace in
exchanging trading data, such as purchase orders, advance shipping
notices, bills of lading and invoices, over the Internet with Cyclone
Commerce software.
Ten of Wal-Mart`s top suppliers have adopted Cyclone technology, either
through direct purchase from Cyclone, or by purchasing OEM`d Cyclone
technology in IBM`s Websphere Business Connect or Sterling Commerce`s
Direct Connect products. All together, more than 50 top CPG/Retail
companies have already adopted Cyclone technology that supports not only
EDIINT protocols such as AS1 and AS2, but also ebXML.
"Gartner recommends that suppliers consider applications that best fit
their business needs," said Frank Kenney, Knowledge Specialist,
Application Integration, Information Security, for Gartner.
"Enterprises should address the following issues before deploying or
implementing an AS2 technology strategy: back-up capability, degree of
integration difficulty, and broad AS2 compatibility."
"Cyclone is the `secret sauce` that facilitates billions of dollars in
commerce between retailers and their suppliers," said Dave Ashton,
General Manager, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods for Cyclone
Commerce. "As the primary provider of collaborative commerce solutions
for retail and CPG companies, Cyclone already has been chosen by nearly
every major food and discount retailer, every major retail exchange,
like UCCNet, and the overwhelming majority of Wal-Mart`s largest
suppliers. A key differentiator is that Cyclone provides the lowest
total cost of ownership compared to other solutions available in the
marketplace today."
