iTKO Enterprise Testing Solutions for Service-Oriented Architecture Implementations Used by Leading SCM Solutions Provider
Using real customer data enables testing of customized workflows running throughout heterogeneous IT environments
Dallas, TX, January 24 2007 - iTKO today announced that i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITWO) is now using ITKO's comprehensive enterprise SOA (service-oriented architecture) testing. The iTKO LISA suite of products is being used by i2 to test its solutions within the development phase as well as during customer implementations. Comprehensive testing in each of these environments can allow for a decrease in development adjustments, increased user satisfaction and improved application performance. The iTKO solution replicates the user environment, interfacing with multiple IT systems and leveraging actual customer data so that i2 and the end user can understand how the i2 solution will work in their environment.
"Customers benefit from the promise of a service-oriented architecture as the focus for technology solutions shifts from a rip-and-replace strategy to finding interoperability among multiple heterogeneous applications across the extended supply chain," said Pallab Chatterjee, i2 executive vice president, Solutions Operations. "We are committed to delivering new-generation supply chain management solutions as quickly and easily as possible, and the iTKO testing solutions can help that process."
"For enterprise software companies like i2, it is encouraging to see that LISA is providing value both in internal development testing, and at the system implementation level, where consulting teams interact with end customers," said iTKO Chief Executive Officer Shridhar Mittal. "In an SOA world, every customer has different existing technologies, so ensuring business requirements are met both in development, and then in the field, becomes more important than ever."
