NeuVis e-business platform will support leading B2B technology to

provide greater speed-to-market, flexibility and scalability

NeuVis, a leading builder of e-commerce exchanges and other e-business applications, today announced that its e-business platform supports Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) through BEA's WebLogic 5.1 Application Server. This support underscores NeuVis' commitment to being technology neutral and providing its customers with greater flexibility and the latest technology.

WebLogic 5.1 Application Server is a leading J2EE platform offering e-commerce reliability, end-to-end security management and support of leading e-commerce technologies, such as XML and EJB. XML and EJB are two best of breed technologies for e-business environments. The technologies allow for a rapid development of e-business solutions.

"Our customers are in a hurdle race against their competitors. They demand flexibility in design and the latest technologies like XML and Java," said Arun Gupta, chairman of NeuVis. "The NeuVis e-business platform grows with our customers, and by supporting technologies like XML and Java, NeuVis gives them a real competitive edge."

Some of the main benefits of NeuVis' e-business platform's support of XML and EJB include a rapid rate of development of e-business exchanges and marketplaces. Because EJB focuses on an architected approach versus a timely hand-coding system, platforms can be designed faster. NeuVis' support of XML will allow for the NeuVis e-business platform to be highly flexible and scalable.

"Unlike other companies in this space, the NeuVis' e-business platform does not lock companies into one technology," said Gupta. "NeuVis' support of XML and EJB allows us to continue to reach our goals of providing our customers with one of the most technically advanced e-business systems in the industry. NeuVis offers its customers a reliable and secured e-business platform that effectively meets the demanding needs of this industry and protects against technology obsolescence."
