Backweb (NASDAQ:BWEB)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
BackWeb Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWEB), a leading
provider of offline and mobile web software, announced today that BAE
Systems, an aerospace and defense company, has licensed BackWeb's
software to mobilize their Oracle PeopleSoft Human Capital Management
(HCM) suite of applications in their U.S.-based operations. BAE
Systems' initial plan for the BackWeb(R) Offline Access Server(TM) is
to mobilize their Oracle PeopleSoft ePerformance Management solution,
enabling mobile employees and managers to complete performance review
documents while on the road and disconnected from the network.
The Oracle PeopleSoft ePerformance enables BAE Systems to improve
the speed and accuracy of the company's performance management with a
paperless process. By extending this application with BackWeb,
managers and mobile employees have their ePerformance Management
application available anytime, anywhere. They will automatically
synchronize their workflows and pending employee performance reviews
to their laptops. While mobile and disconnected from the network, they
are free to continue working on their performance reviews in the
ePerformance Management web user interface as they do normally.
Whenever mobile users acquire a network connection, their mobile work
and the current state of the application are automatically
synchronized. All ePerformance Management centralized administration,
work processes, and user interfaces are automatically reflected in
users' mobile applications.
"BAE Systems has employees around the world, and ensuring that
they have consistent access to the processes and tools that support
them, such as access to performance management tools, is a challenge
and a requirement if they are to continue to achieve high levels of
personal and company productivity," said Curt Gray, senior vice
president, human resources at BAE Systems. "Our focus is to provide
our employees and managers with consistent access to the Oracle
ePerformance Management application regardless of their location or
network status."
"We welcome BAE Systems to our family of customers," said Moshik
Raccah, vice-president sales and business development at BackWeb. "We
will help them achieve their goal of mobilizing multiple HCM
applications for their distributed workforce. Our proven technology
delivers and we look forward to helping BAE Systems improve employee
productivity and accelerate company workflows."
