This new toolset allows customers to integrate their legacy systems with Intercim's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) by configuring integration based on their business processes, rather than developing specific integration software for each external data source.

  • Intercim provides a solution that will help Microsoft customers develop a fully integrated solution with BizTalk Server 2004, reducing the risks and complexities associated with integration projects.
