Backweb (NASDAQ:BWEB)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
BackWeb Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: BWEB), a leading
provider of software designed to mobilize existing enterprise web
applications, announced today that Oracle has validated the
integration between the BackWeb(R) Offline Access Server(TM) and
Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management (ELM) application.
This integration makes it possible for ELM users to access their
personal learning workflow and enrolled course training content even
while disconnected from the network. The results and reporting of
these offline training activities are automatically synchronized back
to the ELM application whenever the user reconnects to the network.
This is the second Oracle application for which BackWeb, a
Certified Partner in Oracle(R) PartnerNetwork, provides a mobile
offline solution. The first was the Oracle e-Performance Management
(EPM) application announced in April 2005. BackWeb directly sells and
markets these solutions and works closely with the Oracle
PartnerNetwork to support its activities.
The BackWeb Offline Access Server (OAS) provides anytime, anywhere
access to existing enterprise web applications, portals, and content
for mobile and field personnel who are occasionally connected to the
network via wireless or other connection. The product makes it
possible for enterprises to provide mobile solutions while still
retaining the central control, cost effectiveness, and flexibility of
applications deployed in web-based enterprise architectures. It does
not require changes to the application or installation of complex
software on user's laptops. When offline, users work normally in their
browsers and new or changed data is automatically synchronized between
their laptops and the online application. BackWeb works with leading
application vendors and customers to provide mobile extensions to
their commercial and custom applications.
"BackWeb provides a valuable extension to our product offering. By
mobilizing Oracle's learning management application, enterprises can
easily deliver and promote learning to their mobile workforce,
partners, and suppliers," said Oracle Vice President HCM Strategy,
Gretchen Alarcon. "BackWeb now has integrated mobile solutions for
multiple Oracle applications and is a key member of Oracle's partner
ecosystem."
PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management is a stand-alone,
internet-based solution that enables companies to proactively drive
workforce development to achieve organizational goals. It is designed
from the ground up to deploy the right learning to the right person at
the right time, in any learning medium. Enterprise Learning Management
reduces learning costs and improves productivity by streamlining the
learning process and embedding learning into all critical business
processes. As a part of PeopleSoft's Human Capital Management (HCM)
suite of software, ELM easily integrates learning into essential
business workflows.
"Enterprises are now realizing they can accelerate their
employees' training if they can extend their e-learning applications
and content to be available when individuals are mobile," said Moshe
Raccah, vice-president of sales and business development at BackWeb.
"BackWeb lets customers achieve this mobile extension of their
e-learning. With this second validation, our customers can be assured
that the integration between BackWeb and the Oracle application is
tested and proven. Once deployed, the integrated BackWeb-Oracle ELM
solution makes it possible for people to access their e-learning
courses and content anytime, anywhere. As a result, they can use their
time more productively and advance more quickly in their personal
training plans."
