Pentagon Deploys GridNode For
RosettaNet B2B Automation
GridNode, the leading provider of trading partner enablement solutions,
announced the successful RosettaNet implementation for Pentagon Technologies
Inc., a leading provider of process yield enhancement products and services
for the semiconductor fabrication and manufacturing equipment industries.
Pentagon Technologies' continued adoption of cutting-edge technology
demonstrates the company's drive to exceed total quality requirements and
achieve greater operational efficiencies. It implemented the GridTalk for
RosettaNet business-to-business integration software to automate order
management with the company's key customers. Leveraging GridTalk's Linux-based
version, Pentagon maintained the company's stringent network security using
the Apple's OS X Server. Pentagon was also able to expand the suite of
processes automated and achieve backend connectivity by using GridMapper,
GridNode's any-to-any mapping tool, to convert XML document formats to SPARKY,
Pentagon's Filemaker-based home-grown Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
System.
"Pentagon requires an integration solution capable of supporting our
evolving
strategic business initiatives. GridNode's GridTalk software provided the
flexibility and reliability to enhance our operational efficiencies, with
minimum disruption to our existing network environment. Pentagon has reaped
significant return on investment through streamlined business processes,
improved data quality and improved customer service quality," said Ross
Lindell, Chief Information Officer of Pentagon Technologies.
"Through our support of open-standards, GridNode's suite of business
process
automation software provides companies with the ability to increase
efficiencies throughout the organization without disruptive changes and
increases in the total cost of ownership," said CheeTong Leow, Managing
Director of GridNode. "This allows for more scalability and generates greater
implementation value quickly."
