FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAIC's Broadway & Seymour
Group Enhances TouchPoint™ to Feature MQSeries and Enhanced
Reporting
CHARLOTTE, NC., April 25 2001 – Science
Applications International Corporation's (SAIC) Broadway & Seymour
Group announced today the release of version 7.0 of its TouchPoint™
customer relationship management (CRM) solution. Built on a browser-based
architecture, TouchPoint™ 7.0 provides enhanced sales and
service functionality across multiple delivery channels for financial
services institutions.
A flagship feature of this new release is TouchPoint™ 7.0's
ability to support IBM's MQSeries as a transaction processing middleware
option. Other new features include significantly expanded report
extraction and report generation capabilities, and additional sales
and services features such as product presentation and user messaging.
"By integrating MQSeries into TouchPoint™, we are giving
our customers and prospects a middleware option that is currently
in very high demand," noted John Kelly, senior vice president
and group manager of SAIC's Broadway & Seymour Group. The MQSeries
support provides an additional alternative to BEA's Tuxedo middleware
for TouchPoint™ customers who wish to standardize on IBM software
platforms.
Kelly also noted, "With our reporting database and generation
enhancements, customers no longer have to outsource any portion
of the reporting function. We provide the on-line mechanism for
designing structured business information, with a database specifically
for reporting and viewing reports on the TouchPoint™ desktop."
Along with MQSeries and enhanced reporting, TouchPoint™ 7.0
features additional sales tools such as user messaging, rates, fees
and scripting that enable users to view on-line product footnotes
and benefits, while the product presentation component assists users
in providing detailed information to customers about the products
and services available throughout their institution.
