PRINCETON, N.J., May 25, 2004 -- Level 8 Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:LVEL), today announced the general availability of CicerO II, a next-generation enterprise information integration (EII) solution. CicerO II facilitates integration of diverse applications and business processes, which targets a broad range of industries: financial services, government, communications, healthcare and others.
CicerO II transforms enterprise applications and related business processes, whether they are running on mainframes, middle-tier servers or even client workstations, into sophisticated, standards-based Web Services. Key features include:
* Rapid integration without modifying applications or underlying code * Automation and integration of diverse applications and business processes * Support for core Web services standards (WSDL, ebXML/UDDI, SOAP, XML, etc.) * Enhanced server-side capabilities * Support for voice enablement of legacy applications (traditional CTI/IVR and VoiceXML) * Integration of Internet-driven self-service customer care with call center agent desktops * Enhanced support for secure single sign-on, FIPS-140-1 certified email and document security
CicerO II runs transparently on client or server and significantly extends the functionality of traditional middleware, portals and other application integration approaches. CicerO speeds implementation of J2EE application servers (BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Oracle 10g, Sun Java System, etc.) and Microsoft's .NET Web Services solutions, enabling faster, more cost-effective and feature-rich implementation of mission critical initiatives.
"CicerO II consolidates key technical advances and delivers substantial business value to virtually any application integration effort, including CRM, ERP, M&A and other business critical initiatives. It enables business and government organizations to deploy new solutions in less time and at lower cost from their current portfolios of applications and emerging solutions, existing business processes and their talented people," said Tony Pizi, Chairman and CEO of Level 8 Systems. "M&A, CRM, Web Services and other large application integration projects can be cost-effectively implemented faster and with less technical and business risk than alternatives."
