SAFYR ACHIEVES VALIDATED INTEGRATION STATUS FOR ORACLE’S JD EDWARDS ENTERPRISEONE 9.1

April 8th, 2013 – Silwood Technology Limited, a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced it has achieved Oracle Validated Integration of Safyr version 6.0 with Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1.

Silwood Technology’s Safyr extracts all table, field and relationship information, including customizations, descriptions and table row counts from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, enabling customers to gain valuable information from the available metadata.  This helps to reduce the cost of data discovery in a broad range of projects, including JD Edwards EnterpriseOne upgrades, rationalizations, migrations, data warehousing, analytics, integration and governance.

To achieve Oracle Validated Integration, Oracle partners are required to meet a stringent set of requirements that are based on the needs and priorities of the customers. Safyr has been proven to work with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementations, including those which have been highly customized, without causing disruption to the application.

Safyr users can search, analyze and filter the Oracle’s JD Edwards’ metadata using the intuitive, functionally rich interface and easily integrate the results with other third party technologies. Application metadata can be shared and reused across different teams and projects ensuring that the value from the customer’s investment in Safyr is maximized.

Graham Simpson, Managing Director of Silwood Technology Limited remarked: “Silwood Technology has been committed to working to support Oracle’s JD Edwards customers for many years and we are delighted that Safyr has been able to continue to meet the requirements for Oracle Validated Integration.  We are confident that this integration, together with the new features in Safyr 6.0, will help customers extend the value of their investment in Oracle’s JD Edwards.”

“Oracle Validated Integration applies a rigorous technical review and test process,” said Kevin O’Brien, senior director, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle. “Achieving Oracle Validated Integration through Oracle PartnerNetwork gives our customers confidence that the integration between Safyr version 6.0 and Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 has been validated and that the products work together as designed. This helps reduce risk and improves the implementation cycles for our joint customers.”
