Commerce One Selects Progress SonicMQ to Power Commerce One MarketSite Portal Solution
BEDFORD, Mass. and PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 11, 2000-- Leading B2B E-Commerce Firm Chooses Best-Of-Breed E-Business Messaging Infrastructure to Ensure Reliable Internet Transactions
Progress Software Corporation (NASDAQ:PRGS), a leading supplier of technology for building E-Business solutions, and Commerce One, Inc. (NASDAQ:CMRC), the leader in global e-commerce solutions for business, announced today that Commerce One has selected Progress(R) SonicMQ(TM) E-Business Messaging server for Commerce One's MarketSite Portal Solution.
SonicMQ provides a massively scalable and highly reliable transport for the exchange of business-critical information over the Internet, which helps companies move global trade to the Web. Messages, which can range from simple purchase orders to complex CAD documents, may be instantly and securely delivered over the Internet by using sophisticated routing algorithms to determine the fastest delivery path and ensure high system availability. As new trading partners or communities are added to the Commerce One Global Trading Web, an extensive worldwide B2B trading community, the SonicMQ-based infrastructure provides access to all new destinations without requiring any local configuration or application changes.
"Global e-commerce depends on a reliable messaging infrastructure that can scale to support tens of thousands of trading partners and handle millions of transactions per day," said Charles J. Donchess, executive vice president and chief strategy officer, Commerce One. "We selected Progress SonicMQ as part of Commerce One's strategy to incorporate best-of-breed technology into the MarketSite platform, enabling us to offer, what we believe, is the most robust e-commerce solutions to our customers."
MarketSite Portal Solution allows corporations and Internet market makers to build open electronic marketplaces and link them to the Commerce One Global Trading Web(TM). This comprehensive set of products and services enables real-time, interactive transactions between trading partners, suppliers, service providers and market makers. Through the use of SonicMQ and an XML-based transaction infrastructure, value-added business services such as auctions, content management, payment services and logistics can be rapidly deployed and leveraged on e-marketplaces.
"Today's emerging B2B e-marketplaces demand ubiquitous connectivity, seamless integration, massive scalability and performance, and the flexibility to process and add new trading partners and trading groups quickly without sacrificing security," said Steve Garone, program vice president at International Data Corporation. "Commerce One already boasts a significant number of users and is projecting trading communities that could approach many tens of thousands of users. Selecting SonicMQ to address their rigorous demands is a significant proof point for the scalability of Progress Software's JMS product."
"Through Commerce One's MarketSite Portal Solution, SonicMQ will be used to power the largest global B2B exchanges and will be deployed at tens of thousands of customer sites worldwide," said Progress Software Co-Founder and President Joseph Alsop. "SonicMQ is the only messaging solution that can deliver the scalability, performance and reliability required for E-Business."
Progress SonicMQ is a leading provider of E-Business Messaging, the infrastructure required for the reliable transport and exchange of business-critical data over the Internet. SonicMQ natively supports Internet standards and is based on the Java(TM) Message Service (JMS) specification, which provides a common set of interfaces, messaging concepts and programming strategies. SonicMQ has been chosen by many leading e-commerce companies and has won numerous awards, including Java Pro Magazine's Readers Choice Award for Best Java Messaging Tool, Best Java Middleware from attendees at the SIGS Conference for Java Development, and a World Class Award from Java Developer's Journal.
