ORLANDO, FL -- Intentia International AB used its North American user conference this week to assuage anxious mid-market customers that it has overcome software stability and support issues, and to compel them to move forward and embrace its under-achieving enterprise applications suite that is built on a service-oriented architecture (SOA). For starters, the company disclosed plans to offer pre-configured, vertically oriented applications under the QuickStart moniker to help motivate reluctant customers to migrate from legacy RPG applications to its new Java version, ISA Release 5.2, marketed under the Movex name. Only 13% of Intentia's 5,000 installed base worldwide is running the Java version of its applications suite, the company acknowledged. Intentia also used the conference here to showcase new and existing consulting tools to help companies visualize the potential business benefits (operational agility and lower costs of ownership) of moving to a more modern applications architecture. Moreover, the company detailed its new QA process to help ensure code quality and stability before software is released, as well as a new patch process that unbundles code fixes from functional upgrades.
