EnterpriseLink and Samsung Bring SmartTran Mainframe-to-Web Integration Technology to Korea; Feature-rich web authoring environment taps large market for Web-to-host integration
Business Wire, March 10, 1998
CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 1998--EnterpriseLink Technology Corporation, a leading provider web-to-host integration tools, today announced a partnership agreement with Samsung Information & Telecommunications, a $500 million division of Samsung Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, Samsung will market, sell, service and support EnterpriseLink's SmartTran web-to-host integration software throughout Korea.
A large percentage of Korean organizations run on mainframes. The SmartTran products from EnterpriseLink allow Korean companies to quickly and easily add new functionality to mainframe applications to extend their life. This new functionality can include access to intranets, extranets and mobile computing. In many situations, the SmartTran approach offers a lower-cost, rapid-delivery alternative to client/server solutions. The SmartTran technology is the first to offer Korean corporations a tool that quickly creates customized interfaces with the power to change the interaction between a user and a legacy application, without programming.
"In the current Korean economic environment, increasing efficiency, reducing costs and leveraging current investments are very important," said James Cha of Samsung Information & Telecommunications. "Korean companies and the government are interested in preserving and extending the significant investments they have in mainframe systems and applications. EnterpriseLink's SmartTran offers a very cost-effective way to take advantage of legacy systems."
"SmartTran is the only mainframe-to-web tool that offers full control over mainframe applications without programming. With SmartTran we can deliver a full range of intranet and extranet applications that effectively leverage mainframe systems, applications and data. What is more, with SmartTran, new web applications can be delivered in a much shorter time than with other tools and approaches," said B.H. Bae of the New Media Division of Samsung Information & Telecommunications."
Samsung is interested in tapping the significant opportunities in Korea for extranet business-to-consumer applications in insurance and home banking, as well as supply chain automation applications in manufacturing companies. Also of interest are a number of intranet opportunities: for example, enabling overseas offices of Korean companies to communicate effectively with headquarters systems. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance is currently developing an extranet application and Samsung Life Insurance is working on an intranet/extranet application.
"We are very pleased to partner with Samsung Information & Telecommunications. Samsung is well positioned to deliver enterprise-class solutions to customers with SmartTran, using its own capabilities and its professional services partnerships," said J.C.Dorng, President and CEO, EnterpriseLink.
