Enterprise Web Versus Stand-Alone Application Server HandySoft
Estimates That Using Plumtree's Application Management Framework
Could Result in Long-Term Development Savings of Several Million
Dollars SAN FRANCISCO and VIENNA, Va., March 22
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Enterprise Web leader Plumtree Software
and HandySoft Global Corporation, a leading provider of business
process management (BPM) solutions, today announced that by using
the Plumtree Enterprise Web Suite, HandySoft reduced the
development time for building its Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance
application by 45% versus building it on a stand-alone application
server. In developing the SOXA Accelerator application,
HandySoftcombined its own process design, automation, reporting and
monitoring capabilities with personalization, collaboration,
authentication, knowledge management and search services from the
Plumtree Enterprise Web Suite. As a result, HandySoft was able to
quickly and easily release a comprehensive solution for helping
companies validate the accuracy and integrity of their financial
management and meet Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. By continuing to use
the advanced technology of the Plumtree Portal, Collaboration
Server and Studio technologies in the SOXA Accelerator, HandySoft
estimates that its future development savings could add up to
several million dollars. As a premier Plumtree partner, HandySoft
received engineering, marketing and technical support from Plumtree
to bring the application to market. "We are extremely pleased with
SOXA Accelerator's results since its debut last year," said
HandySoft's Chief Operations Officer Stuart Claggett. "The
application's technology strengths have earned itmarket recognition
from the analyst community and have allowed us to easily
differentiate it for prospects. Working with Plumtree as a
development partner meant we could get this product to market
quickly and change the dynamics of our business in justa few
quarters." "We selected Plumtree because we wanted to provide a
complete solution without having to build each component from
scratch. For instance, Plumtree's customizable user interface and
personalization features allowed us to create the look we wanted
very quickly," said Daniele Chenal, HandySoft's director of
solutions. "Plumtree is the only vendor to offer such an open,
flexible framework. It helped us produce a powerful new product for
a new market in nearly half the time expected. Plumtree also
provided us an incredible amount of technical and development
support, which was as important as the strength of the technology
framework." "The success of the SOXA Accelerator demonstrates
Plumtree's value and commitment to our applicationspartners," said
Jay Simons, Plumtree's director of applications. "In launching our
new Applications Incubator today, we're committing more resources,
