New release adds to supported
platforms and targets ROI
Richardson, TX – March 6, 2003 – Gillani
Inc., a leading provider of supply chain management software, announced today
the general availability of Endura iDistribute™ and the FourGen® CASE Tools on
the Linux operating system.
iDistribute™
is a complete end-to-end Supply Chain Management solution. Delivered via the
web, the system is comprised of Order Management, including eSCM (our Web OE,
E-Commerce software), Inventory Management, Advanced Planning &
Replenishment, and Purchasing modules. The distribution software is integrated
with General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets,
Financial Report Writer, Budget Manager and Credit Manager modules.
The
FourGen® CASE Tools, originally developed in 1983, are the cornerstone of the
MBD™ (Modifiability by Design™) concept, and provide a Rapid Application
Development environment for the Informix community.
“In working closely with IBM in 2003, Gillani plans to
capitalize on several IBM incentives to increase it’s market-share for the iDistribute™
solution and FourGen® CASE Tools
into the SMB market.” said Syed Kamal, CEO of Gillani, Inc.
“There is tremendous
momentum behind Linux today. We are
committed to offering our customers the software solutions that will accelerate
the acceptance of Linux. We are pleased
to see the role our business partners, like Gillani, Inc., are playing in this
space utilizing IBM database software with IBM xSeries Intel processor-based
servers running the Linux operating system.” said James Stallings, General
Manager, Linux, IBM.
The iDistribute™ (formerly FourGen® Accounting and Endura®
Enterprise) solution suite has been available on IBM’s RS/6000 platform running
AIX UNIX operation system for a long time, and there are plans to continue this
practice by porting to the latest AIX 5L version in 2003. Building on this
existing relationship with IBM, Gillani recently utilized IBM xSeries Intel
processor-based servers with Linux operating system for the Linux port of
iDistribute™ - Distribution Management System including integrated Financials,
and FourGen® CASE Tools – a Rapid Application Development system.
There has been tremendous interest in the marketplace for
Linux solutions. With IBM’s commitment to Linux, and Gillani’s close
relationship to IBM, it was a natural decision to port Gillani’s software to
Linux. Although these solutions have been available on the Informix database
since the mid 80’s, Gillani also expects to have the software ported to DB2
Universal Database by 3rd quarter 2003.
