Under the deal, QAD (Carpinteria, CA) will market a version of Sterling's Gentran Integration Suite, a business-to-business electronic commerce product that enables EDI transactions and translation between different EDI and Web-based document formats. QAD said it will market the Gentran product as the QAD Total eCommerce Solution. QAD will provide worldwide support for the product, according to Michelle Seibert, director of global consulting services at QAD. Prior to the deal with Sterling, QAD had offered its own product, EDI Commerce, which enabled the company's ERP software -- MFG PRO -- to receive and send EDI messages. EDI Commerce, however, lacked translation features, so QAD applications couldn't exchange messages with applications using different EDI or Web-based formats. [Click to continue] |
