Jitterbit Teams with Infowelders for salesforce.com Data Integration

Implementation Partners Showcase Affordability, Ease of Use and Custom Solutions At Dreamforce

Oakland, Calif. – Oct. 29, 2008 – Jitterbit, the leading provider of open source integration software, today announced its relationship with Infowelders, a certified salesforce.com implementation partner. Both companies will be showcasing successful data integrations at Dreamforce, salesforce.com’s sixth annual user and developer conference held November 2-5 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The partnership between Jitterbit and Infowelders is designed to provide customers valuable implementation resources in tackling integrations between salesforce.com and other enterprise applications and database technologies. As part of this program, customers are able to leverage Jitterbit’s robust and reliable open source platform to solve their salesforce.com integration challenges.

“We are thrilled with our relationship with Infowelders. It is a winning partnership that provides exceptional support to customers integrating with salesforce.com,” said Sharam Sasson, Jitterbit chairman and CEO. “Infowelders’ experience in this area is unparalleled and, when combined with Jitterbit’s industry-leading open source integration platform, brings an unmatched level of ease and customization to these projects.”

For Infowelders, it is important to integrate their customers’ broad range of systems and technologies while standardizing on a single, dependable platform for every integration project.

“We always recommend supported middleware as opposed to hand-coded integration solutions,” said Nick Hamm, director of technology at Infowelders. “As consultants, we have seen and used many different integration products over the years. Before Jitterbit, we were unable to find an offering that could meet all of our top five requirements for a successful integration solution.”

For Infowelders, those top five criteria are:

• Elegant integration between a wide variety of data sources, including Web services, local databases, and popular applications.
• An interface that is easy to use and understand, yet still provides the functionality and granularity needed for very complex projects.
• A stable, self-contained architecture that could be used for both very simple and complex integration projects.
• Modular packaging of integration solutions for re-use or distribution.
• A reasonable pricing model.

As Infowelders’ business grew, providing a user-friendly, reusable integration solution at an accessible price point became critical to future success. After vetting many solutions, Jitterbit was the clear choice.

“From the first conversation with Jitterbit, it was clear that our companies’ attitudes and philosophies were the same – customer success comes first,” said Hamm. “From the responsiveness to our initial inquiry to the responsiveness we see for new product feature requests, I always feel like the Jitterbit team is an extension of my team when I need something done and done right. Since standardizing on the Jitterbit integration platform for all of our projects, I feel confident that we can accomplish any integration that comes our way.”
