INTENTIA has unveiled plans for Movex3, a third generation of its Movex enterprise software designed to help mid-sized companies adopt more flexible business processes.
The key drivers for Movex3 will be deeper, industry-specific functionality, simplified interoperability with other systems and business partners, and a richer, more natural user experience designed to encourage innovation, not just mechanical efficiency.
Agility and simplicity
A key part of Intentia's plans for Movex3 is to give mid-sized companies the means to realise the benefits of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) while re-using their existing investment in Movex and without the complexity of managing or assembling countless web services.
The SOA enabler of Movex3 is code-named ADA-Active Document Adapter, which provides a business process layer for Movex3 applications to interoperate seamlessly with other SOA-based web services and applications.
Because the interoperability takes place at the business logic level, rather than at the code level as with traditional enterprise application integration, it will dramatically improve companies' ability to change processes and connections as their business needs require.
Intentia will be able to quickly define all core business integration scenarios with Project ADA by leveraging its 20 years of expertise in the make, move, and maintain industries.
The ADA platform will encourage agile supply chains and adaptable business processes because the time and cost required to make changes will be significantly reduced.
