Following the successful launch of snap for Microsoft technologies and snap for Oracle's JDE World, looksoftware's new connectors for BPCS provide plug-and-play integration support for the thousands of BPCS users around the world who now can plug their customized BPCS applications into products and platforms such as Outlook, SharePoint, the iPhone, Web front-ends and any application or device that supports Web services, looksoftware announced.

snap for Infor's BPCS is designed to improve reuse of BPCS LX and earlier versions of BPCS, enabling easy plug-and-play integration with almost any other application. snap connectors include MS Outlook, SharePoint, mobile front-ends such as iPhone and BlackBerry, and the recently announced snap for The Cloud. snap connectors are based on a complete repository prebuilt for more than 20 BPCS modules, enabling easier integration, streamlined business processes and reduced operational costs. A core benefit of snap for BPCS is its full support for the customizations found in the majority of BPCS implementations in production today.

"Despite alternative solutions being available in the marketplace for several years, snap for BPCS is the only solution that addresses today's multi-channel and service-enablement requirements," says Eamon Musallam, looksoftware's product marketing manager.

Pharmaceutical specialist Abbott Laboratories is a global BPCS user and an early adopter of snap for BPCS. Jeffrey Tan from Abbott Laboratories says, "We selected looksoftware to modernize our BPCS investments because we can easily snap our customized BPCS code into multiple front-ends using looksoftware's multi-channel support for rich, thin, and mobile clients." looksoftware's initial release of snap for BPCS is scheduled for general availability in November 2009.
