IntelliCorp Introduces LiveInterface 7.2, With Enhanced BAPI Support to Facilitate Transferring Data Into SAP R/3.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 1998--

Application Integration Software Provides Enhanced

Management Infrastructure for SAP BAPI Interfaces

IntelliCorp Inc. (Nasdaq:INAI), a leading provider of live business modeling products for packaged applications, today introduced a new version of its LiveInterface application integration software for the SAP R/3 solution.

The new version, LiveInterface 7.2, is a complete software solution for designing, building, monitoring and managing interfaces into R/3.

LiveInterface 7.2 can access any SAP R/3 data transaction so users can easily share data with other applications. It leverages SAP Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) technology in two ways. First, the new BAPI front-end to LiveInterface will allow any external program to use BAPI calls to transfer data into SAP R/3 via new or previously developed interfaces. Second, LiveInterface can now post data into R/3 using BAPIs, even if the data is presented in another format.

LiveInterface 7.2 includes many other enhancements, including support for SAP R/3 Release 4.0, plus an alert capability that can trigger the start of a R/3 Workflow process for both inbound and outbound interfaces. This new capability will give the customer increased power in managing error recovery and notification procedures.

Joshua Greenbaum, senior consultant with the Hurwitz Group, Framingham, Massachusetts, said, "Integration with external systems and applications is part of all SAP R/3 implementations. LiveInterface 7.2 provides both a short-term benefit in facilitating the development of interfaces, as well as a long-term value in simplifying the management and maintenance of the interfaces."

Previously known as UPI, LiveInterface was acquired from Deloitte & Touche earlier this year, and is now installed in over 130 locations worldwide. The product comprises a set of software components that streamline the creation and management of interfaces between SAP R/3 and other business application systems (including the R/2 solution).

Customers have found that automating interface development enables them to build their interfaces up to 60% faster, thus increasing the on-time completion and delivery of integration projects.

Mike Whitney, integration project leader at Eastman Chemical, said, "Besides saving us a lot of effort, LiveInterface has definitely increased the scope of what we're able to do to ensure the integrity of our interfaces between R/3, the enterprise R/2 solution and other legacy systems. We bought LiveInterface with the hope it would pay for itself on the first implementation. And I believe it did."
