Rosemont, PA (PRWEB) July 23, 2004
The first two quarters of 2004 were eventful for BISIL and its flagship product Enj. This period witnessed major developments on technical, business and implementation fronts.
2004 started on a very favorable note with Enj being nominated as a finalist in the Best System Integration Solution category along with BEA Systems and Microsoft at LinuxWorld Expo in January this year, for the second year in running. This is a strong endorsement of strength and of products from the portals of BISIL as well as our commitment to excellence.
The other significant events of the year so far were:
Product Releases
BISIL released significant addition in features to the Enj suite - Portal and GL at LinuxWorld 04. As a part of BISILÂ’s continuous drive to make Enj more capable, user friendly and add value to the customer experience, BISIL released Enj versions 4.0, 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 during the last two quarters.
While versions 4.0 and 4.1.0 bring significant improvements and greater operational flexibility to Enj making Enj a more secured deployment; version 4.2.0 is a great leap forward for the product. Enj progresses towards a more complete adoption of Business Process Modeling Notation adapted by BPMI.
BISIL has taken a strategic decision to keep Enj in continuing compliance with these standards in future releases since BISIL’s own objective is aligned with that of BPMN – which is to support process management by both technical users and business users by providing a notation that is intuitive to business users yet able to represent complex process semantics.
Portal Implementation
The latest component of Enj - Portal has been well received in the market. In the last quarter, we implemented Portal module in three verticals – insurance, healthcare research, professional services.
Enj port to IBM pSeries
BISIL is IBM’s business partner for development. Enj has been tested and certified on IBM pSeries 670 LPAR web application and DB servers running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server V.8. The engagement database used for this port was DB2 Express version 8.1 FP4a, Application Server: WebSphere Express – Enterprise Edition IBM (WAS Express 1/p and 5.1) and HTTP server: Apache 1.3.28.
IBMÂ’s pSeries LPAR server provides high performance for diverse workloads and is suitable for e-business due to enhanced resiliency, especially for small and medium enterprises.
Strategic Alliance with Coriendo
BISIL, NA has entered into a strategic agreement with Coriendo, the Business Process Solutions Company, to provide software products and back-office support. Coriendo offers various outsourcing business solutions and services to its customers. Under the terms of this agreement BISIL will provide its software products, solutions and technical and functional expertise to Coriendo.
Through this new partnership, both BISIL and Coriendo are confident of strengthening their respective positions in the software solutions and outsourcing services market.
Purchase of Enj-TES
BISIL, NA has acquired all rights to Enj-TES (Enj-Tax Efficiency Software), formerly known as EYTES - Ernst & Young's Tax Efficiency Software, in March 2004 for an undisclosed sum. BISIL has been involved with Ernst & Young in the development of this product since the beginning in 1999. Acquisition of ETES expands and enhances the functionality of the Enj financial services solutions suite.
Future Guidance
BISIL has set following targets in Q3Â’04:
Ø We intend to focus on SMBs in Asset Management and Insurance sectors and offer them ready-made, easy to use solutions using Enj which would save them time, resources and result in increased productivity and profitability.
ETES is our solution for Asset Managers while Policy Document Management system has been designed for insurance sector.
Ø Upcoming releases of Enj during Q3 will be focused on adding collaboration, calendaring functionality in addition to making the versioning features more robust.
