In a move to help its small to mid-sized business customers, software giant Oracle Corp. , today announced new tools for integration with its Oracle Small Business Suite, powered by NetLedger.
The new development tools, already being used by NetLedger partners include smbXML, an eXtensible Markup Language (XML)-based integration technology, designed for the seamless exchange of business information with the Oracle Small Business Suite. And the firm is also unveiling new capabilities for Single Sign-on technology, Server-to-Server Integration and a Web Store Developer Kit (WSDK).
Oracle argues that in using integrated applications, small businesses can save time and money through avoiding manually integrating separate islands of information. The smbXML, it says, can be used to link complementary applications together, which can streamline customers’ business processes a centralized Oracle database.
In addition, Oracle says its Single Sign-on technology can be used for managing the authentication of users moving between Web-based applications while Server-to-Server Integration allows data exchange between these applications.
The WSDK, it says can incorporate the Oracle Small Business Suite into a business’ own Web store to allow integrated e-commerce and accounting functionality.
“Our service is unique because all of the components of the Oracle Small Business Suite work together seamlessly in one application, minimizing inefficient re-entry of data, and providing owners with a complete view of their business,” says Evan Goldberg, president and CEO of NetLedger.
