Liaison Technologies' Managed Services For Cloud Integration Finds Traction With Mid-Market Companies

Company Attributes Managed Services Growth to Complexities of Data Integration in the Cloud

Liaison Technologies, a global provider of secure cloud-based integration and data management services and solutions, announced recently a 52 percent increase in domestic and global mid-market customers for its B2B/EDI and cloud integration managed services since the beginning of the year. Liaison attributes the increase to the growing number of mid-market companies interested in reaping the “speed to value” and cost benefits of cloud services, but wanting to avoid the integration complexities of folding them into their existing IT infrastructures.

Companies such as Tacony Corporation, PBD Worldwide, GlobalTranz Enterprises, Inc., MacPherson’s Arts and Troxell Communications are using Liaison’s integration solutions and services.

“Liaison’s managed services allow companies to offload the increasingly complex data management and integration challenges related to using multiple cloud services,” said Peter Rodenhauser, Liaison’s VP of Managed Services. “This is particularly attractive to mid-market companies that may be without the extensive resources required to handle complex cloud integration projects themselves. Drawing on over a decade of managed services and cloud-based integration expertise, our offerings resonate with organizations that find their time is better spent improving their business processes than dealing with the ‘heavy-lifting’ aspects of cloud integration and management.”

“We were already using a custom, in-house built solution to manage our 850 document transactions daily, but we wanted to extend our capabilities with more document types – such as advanced ship notices and order acknowledgments – with our suppliers,” said Mohan Melarcode, Internet Applications Manager at Troxell Communications. “Liaison allows us to manage the integration between our suppliers and our on-premise, legacy back-end system so that we can now perform these business processes within our extended enterprise more easily and cost-efficiently.”

Liaison offers cloud-based enterprise application integration and business-to-business integration services for the most complex data management and integration scenarios, including on-premise-to-cloud, SaaS-to-on-premise, SaaS-to-cloud and cloud-to-cloud. The company provides customer support and expert integration services from its managed services hub in Carbondale, Ill., and from support teams in Atlanta, Finland and the Netherlands. Liaison further distinguishes itself by offering flexible service level agreements (SLAs) to “tailor-fit” each customer’s requirements, an all-inclusive pricing structure and advanced mapping tools for accurately and quickly completing projects.
