Stone Bond Technologies Selects The Planet for Software Test Bed
2008-09-30
HOUSTON, Sept. 29, 2008 ? The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting,
today announced that Stone Bond Technologies (www.stonebond.com)
has selected the company as the core platform for its software test bed. Stone
Bond provides customers with a variety of software solutions, including
integration, workflow automation and messaging software. In each case, Stone
Bond provides mission-critical solutions that enable organizations to exchange,
map, align and clean data across multiple software applications and hardware
platforms so that information provides meaningful business data.
Stone Bond's customers span the energy and life sciences industries.
?Customers rely on Stone Bond to deliver enterprise-quality solutions,? said
Stone Bond Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer Pamela Szabo. ?We
serve industries that require rationalized critical data from multiple sources
to make long-term business decisions. Before we introduced our newest messaging
product, we used the vast resources of The Planet's servers, data centers and
network infrastructure to simulate the complexities of a trading room floor,
where tens of thousands of messages are exchanged in the course of just a few
hours. We were able to evaluate the performance of our solution across multiple
data centers to be certain our customers are getting the results they expect.?
?Our world-class data centers and enterprise-quality network offer the best
possible resources for testing new products and solutions,? said Steve Kahan,
vice president of marketing and product management for The Planet. ?The cost of
purchasing servers, software and bandwidth to test enterprise scalability can
wreak havoc on budgets. A number of companies have turned to The Planet to
create test beds to evaluate the scalability of their products and solutions
before they're released. With servers available in just one hour, coupled with
the significant cost savings, we expect even more companies like Stone Bond
Technologies to take advantage of our capabilities.?
Stone Bond Snapshot
Stone Bond's founders established the company in 1993, armed with significant
experience in the energy industry. Recognizing the massive numbers of
applications that required cross-functional integration and collaboration ? and
the requirement to rationalize data interaction across multiple hardware and
software platforms ? they initially focused on creating software that could
solve these difficult business requirements.
The result of this work was realized with the introduction of Enterprise
Enabler®, which provides capabilities that allow companies to access, manage and
integrate data, regardless of where it resides in the enterprise. The software
helps companies to dramatically reduce costs and improve business process
productivity. Whether it's integrated research environments in life sciences
laboratories; complex business-to-business commercial transactions between
services companies and oil and gas firms; or large-scale corporate integrations
that support global enterprises, customers rely on Enterprise Enabler for data
integration.
Stone Bond also offers an enterprise-level solution -- EE-LIMS™ -- which
automates and captures best-practice workflows, and manages data capture and
administrative activities for life sciences laboratories. The company entered
the life sciences industry when approached by the Baylor College of Medicine to
develop the application for their Microarray Core Facility. The company has
since grown this single request into an entire line of business. Today, Stone
Bond works with medical colleges and their associated laboratories across the
country, including the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and Cornell's Weill College
of Medicine, to name just a few.
?Today virtually every organization requires software for making business and
technical decisions,? said Szabo. ?Our business has evolved and serves many more
industries that also face the difficult requirement of actually integrating data
from multiple sources, including Salesforce.com, SAP, and multiple databases and
spreadsheets. We make it far easier for executives to bridge the gap between
information technology, business analysts and data, so they're equipped to make
better-informed decisions for their organizations.?
To enable better collaboration between departments in large organizations, the
company's next-generation products will combine work flow with data integration
to create new business process management capabilities that will include
Software as a Service.
