iWay Software is helping Microsoft users better interoperate with third-party applications. The New York-based company, which has a stable of about 280 prebuilt adapters to back-end systems, announced Tuesday it's selling the source code and intellectual property from eight of its adapters to Microsoft.
The handful of .NET-based adapters Microsoft is acquiring essentially enable the company's BizTalk Server to communicate with applications from a variety of ERP (enterprise resource planning) and integration vendors, including PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards ERP applications (both companies are now owned by Oracle); Oracle applications and databases; Siebel Systems's applications; and Tibco Software's EMS, Rendezvous and Clarify integration applications.
