Worldwide Leadership in Integration
iWay Software provides rapid integration solutions that streamline
business processes in all sizes of organizations without making their
information investments obsolete. For over 30 years, weve maximized
the value of our clients vital information assets, and have continuously
evolved our technology to meet emerging business challenges.
The company began in 1975 with the founding of our parent
company, Information Builders. We built data access technologies that
enabled organizations to create reports from disparate information
systems and data sources, regardless of its source or location.
Several years later, Information Builders produced a new class of
enterprise software enterprise data access (EDA) middleware and
created the Middleware Technology Group. EDA extended our data
access capabilities to make all enterprise information available to new
client applications, including transaction systems and enterprise-scale
network computing applications. EDA became well known for its
ability to mask the underlying complexities involved in integrating
sophisticated, heterogeneous enterprise systems.
In 2001, the Middleware Technology Group evolved into a new
subsidiary company, iWay Software. Leveraging all of our data access
and integration experience, we enhanced our solutions to provide
a cost-effective, incremental approach to all types of integration
projects including enterprise application integration (EAI),
composite applications, Web service deployments, B2B interactions,
and enterprise information integration (EII) initiatives. The company
also introduced the iWay Universal Adapter Suite, and earned a
reputation for providing more adapters and access to more
information systems than any other integration vendor.
iWay Software now offers more than 300 adapters, and the list
continues to grow.
Today, iWay Software is one of the top 20 integration vendors
worldwide. Were at the forefront of the service-oriented architecture
(SOA) movement, revolutionizing and accelerating the way
organizations accomplish business integration by providing a
foundation for business agility with a low cost of entry and full
project reusability.

iWay Solutions in Action
Over 2,000 corporations, government agencies, and educational
institutions around the world rely on iWay Software to leverage their
information assets to meet emerging business challenges.
As a result of explosive growth, Chicago-based gift catalog company
Collections Etc. undertook a major IT overhaul that included the
purchase of several new information systems. The company needed to
create a multi-purpose integration infrastructure that could
interconnect its diverse mix of databases, platforms, and information
systems. iWay Software empowered Collections Etc. to simplify
message content routing across the enterprise delivering messages
such as purchase orders and inventory data to the appropriate
information systems, then delivering automated responses to the
customer, vendor, or pertinent user providing them with strategic
advantages in a highly competitive market.
Murphy-Hoffman Company (MHC), one of the largest dealers of
Kenworth trucks in North America, wanted to streamline inter-
company communications, eliminate manual B2B processes and
improve the accuracy of exchanging common business documents.
With iWay Software, the company was able to implement a powerful
integration architecture and develop direct links between their
business systems, and the systems of their key suppliers. This allowed
them to dynamically exchange XML-based business documents such
as purchase orders, parts catalogues, and work orders. These fully
automated processes have helped MHC to boost sales and increase
customer satisfaction.
One of the worlds largest and most successful beauty companies,
Coty Inc., acquired Unilever Cosmetics along with several other brands
and organizations and a variety of information systems. With the help
of iWay Software, the company integrated them in less than seven
months, without the need for costly and time-consuming manual
code writing. As a result, they rapidly implemented a robust, reusable,
and future-proof integration architecture for worldwide ordering,
logistics, and distribution operations and saved millions of dollars in
the process.
The Florida State Technology Office used iWay Software
technologies to link modern Web applications with legacy mainframe
databases, creating a reporting application for unemployment 5
eligibility and claim summary information and making a more
efficient technology infrastructure at the same time. The new
application improved customer service and optimized back-office
productivity, while allowing the agency to preserve its existing
technology investments.
