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."
