NLINK INSIDE (PDF Version)


Many software companies face a critical challenge when it comes to successfully implementing reference-able installations of their products at customer sites. Integration! By deploying NLINK with your software product you will be able to offer your customers a pre-built, cost-effective and supported SAP integration solution.

The integration problem can hit software companies in a variety of ways:

  • You have built an innovative software product only to find that your customers demand that you shoulder the responsibility of integrating your product with their back end ERP and legacy systems.

  • Your software product has captured market share but long drawn out integration projects are eroding profit margins and affecting customer satisfaction. Interfacing to your customers’ in-house legacy and ERP systems is: expensive; time-consuming; resource-intensive; difficult to manage; and not part of your company’s core competencies.

  • You have already successfully integrated your software product to various back-end systems but now recognize that the development work you have done for previous projects is not transferable to new integration projects.

  • Or, worst of all, you are losing market share to competitive products that are functionally inferior but offer potential customers a cleaner and more predictable integration solution.

THE INTEGRATION PROBLEM
The integration problem that software companies face is deceptively difficult to solve for a number of reasons:

    Unique ERP Installations. No two customers' legacy and ERP systems are alike. Even if they use the same commercial ERP application, and the same release, their implementation of it is always unique. This requires you to support multiple interfaces.

    Evolving Customer Needs. ERP systems evolve, and your customers' use of them changes over time which means that your delivered interfaces have to keep up. This takes your focus away from what is most important: your own product.


    ERP Certifications. Lots of customers require software companies to demonstrate integration competence by providing ERP certification (for example, SAP Automatic Data Collection or SAP Mobile Computing certifications). Not having current certifications puts you at a disadvantage in the sales process. But getting certified is difficult and expensive, (often requiring re-certification with each ERP release and each release of your product) taking focus away from what you want to do: building and improving your application.

    New Integration Technologies. Even if your product has a standard interface method (such as, XML), your customers still have to write programs to process the data your application provides. And, even if your customers accept the responsibility of integrating their systems to your product, your lack of a plug-in integration solution leads to longer implementation times and more effort required from your customers.

NLINK® IS THE ANSWER
NLINK provides your product with a standardized and centralized point of integration to all external systems. This consolidation of interfaces provides for shorter implementation and integration times. Changing the NLINK configuration is much faster, easier and cheaper than changing customized interface programs.

    Unique ERP Installations. NLINK’s pre-built transactions and configuration approach removes the problems traditionally associated with variations in customers' ERP systems.

    Evolving Customer Needs. NLINK’s configuration approach to integration makes changes to deployed business transactions or adoption of new ERP modules quick and easy.

    ERP Certifications. NLINK holds several certifications from the leading ERP vendors allowing you to avoid the time, expense and hassle of going through the certification process yourself.

    New Technologies. NLINK is a full blown Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) product that Junot Systems will continue to innovate continuously improving the embedded integration solutions it provides to its customers.

BENEFITS
Embedding NLINK in your product reduces the required customer time and involvement during implementation. Coordinating the customer’s IT resources to gather project requirements no longer becomes the project bottleneck because you can provide the exact method of interface they require.

NLINK’s unique, patented architecture (depicted below) provides a significant improvement to custom coded point-to-point integration solutions that often focus exclusively on protocols and formats ignoring the critical areas of Reliability, Scalability, Flexibility and Manageability.



There are a number of additional factors that have combined to make NLINK the best embedded integration solution available on the market today:

  • NLINK is a mature, field-proven product that has consistently shown itself to be quick to implement and easy to change, regardless of deployment environment.

  • NLINK’s patented architecture comes pre-built with connectivity to several ERP systems including SAP® R/3®, mySAP, Oracle Applications®, and more.

  • NLINK supports a wide array of connectivity options; HTTP/S, FTP, E-mail, JMS, File Trigger, DCOM, XML, SOAP, SQL, Flat File, SNMP, OPC, MQSeries and more.

  • NLINK’s small deployment footprint contains comprehensive EAI capability without any of the extra baggage that comes with traditional EAI applications.

  • NLINK’s price point will not overwhelm the cost of your product.
