EXTOL International Joins Toronto's Leading Voice for the IBM i Platform

B2B integration software provider to deliver best practice tips to Canadian IBM users

POTTSVILLE, Pa., Nov. 12, 2013 /CNW/ - EXTOL International, a leading provider of business integration software and services, has recently partnered with the Toronto User Group (TUG) for IBM Power Systems to help companies extend the reach of their IBM i platform through more strategic integration.

TUG was established in 1985 to encourage IBM midrange users (AS/400 / iSeries / System i / Power Systems) to learn and exchange ideas about the platform. Currently, the organization is Canada's premier professional forum, with over 350 corporate members and over 1,000 individual members.

On November 20, 2013, Brian Bennett of EXTOL will deliver a session at TUG's bi-monthly members meeting titled: "Accelerating Business Integration: Seven Design-time Automation Examples" which will look at how more companies are realizing the need to strategically integrate internal applications, services and data with external partners.

The session will cover seven examples of how IT organizations can better support the demand for increasing levels of business integration by using middleware to bridge the integration gap better than custom-coded alternatives.

Specific focus will be placed on best practice procedures that reduce overall integration costs, increase IT staff efficiency and enable automation of business processes.
