Radware’s AppDirector receives Oracle Integration Validation for Siebel CRM 8.0; Offers customers, independent software vendors, and value-added resellers confidence in deploying and managing CRM environments
Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, today announced that its intelligent application delivery controller, AppDirector, has received validation for its integration with Oracle’s Siebel Customer Relationship Management (CRM) 8.0. This integration validation was achieved through the Oracle Applications Integration Architecture for Partners initiative. Customers that leverage this integration can extract greater value from their current CRM investment – as users gain a higher Quality of Experience (QoE) through the elimination of performance bottlenecks, enhanced security and higher availability.
Siebel CRM 8.0 provides comprehensive end-user insight on transactional, analytical and ongoing engagements. Without access to this business-critical information, organizations can lose a significant amount of revenue. To ensure organizations have ‘always available’ access, Radware’s AppDirector delivers a complete set of availability, acceleration and security services that are dynamically allocated, based on user demand – all without the need to alter the network configuration or add devices.
Validation through Oracle PartnerNetwork Application Integration Architecture for Partners gives customers confidence that integrations between Oracle® Applications and complementary partner solutions have been validated and the products work together as designed. This can help reduce risk, improve system implementation cycles, and provide for smoother upgrades and simpler maintenance. Validation through this initiative applies a rigorous technical process to review the integrations of third-party software to Oracle Applications products, including productized repeatable integrations from system integrators. Oracle provides tools, resources and training to assist partners in the integration. Partners who have successfully validated their integrations are authorized to use the “Integrated with Oracle” logo.

This in turn helps ensure fault-tolerant connections and scalability.
