Daptiv and Pervasive Software Partner to Help Customers Easily Integrate Project Management and Collaboration with other Enterprise Systems

SAN DIEGO--Daptiv, the on-demand leader in collaborative business software, and Pervasive Software (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in embeddable data management and agile integration software, today announced a partnership to provide fast and easy integration between Daptiv PPM and a wide variety of enterprise systems. This new solution, Daptiv Connect, enables businesses to gain a holistic view of the full spectrum of work across their enterprise and connect Daptiv’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based solution with both SaaS and on-premise software.

Taking full advantage of Pervasive's extensive library of more than 150 adapters – running the gamut from ERP systems from SAP, Oracle and Peoplesoft, to development tools like Visual Studio Team System from Microsoft – Daptiv Connect will provide Daptiv customers with easy-to-use integration tools that help them quickly map data relationships between Daptiv’s environment and outside enterprise applications. Since data from multiple systems, such as financial data in ERP or sales data in CRM, can be integrated into the Daptiv environment and tied to relevant projects, Daptiv PPM will become the central, enterprise-wide source for managing and collaborating on everyday work.

Daptiv Connect is a faster, more comprehensive and more reliable alternative to custom code-based integrations, which require significant investment and break with the introduction of new features on either side of the integration. Built on standard adapters that are created and maintained by Pervasive, Daptiv Connect will automatically ensure all applications are synced and working properly when versions of software are updated or changed. Daptiv Connect also solves the common issue of how to best integrate data from on-premise packaged software with on-demand software. Organizations with less complex integration needs will continue to have access to Daptiv’s Web services APIs.

“As customers become accustomed to the rapid deployment and ease-of-use benefits of SaaS, they are also becoming more interested in utilizing multiple on-demand applications in an integrated fashion,” according to Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies and the founder of the SaaS Showplace. “Embedding Pervasive's growing library of adapters into its portfolio of solutions will enable Daptiv to meet its customers' escalating needs and satisfy their rising expectations.”

“Through our partnership with Pervasive, we are now able to offer our customers an easy way to integrate key data stored in other enterprise systems with Daptiv PPM,” said Jeff Pancottine, CEO of Daptiv. “Daptiv Connect enhances the core assets of Daptiv PPM by making a breadth of data available within our environment, so that people can plug it into our Work Intelligence™ engine for ad-hoc reporting or use a wide range of data within customized Dynamic Applications. Pervasive’s solution maps well with our SaaS delivery model, so our customers have the added benefit of speed and don’t have to worry about compatibility when one system is upgraded.”

Pervasive has been a leader and innovator in SaaS integration since 2001, capitalizing on more than 20 years of integration experience to meet the needs of SaaS customers. Pervasive integration is specifically designed to match the speed and economics that customers associate with SaaS, enabling companies like Daptiv to deliver rapid, affordable and agile integration that enhances customer value and provides a competitive edge. This partnership with Daptiv further validates Pervasive’s focus on delivering agile integration for both SaaS and on-premise software vendors.

“We are pleased to partner with on-demand collaboration software leader Daptiv on their Daptiv Connect innovation. Pervasive Software has a unique track record of enabling SaaS vendors like Daptiv to provide integration offerings that truly align with the speed and economics of the SaaS model that their customers expect,” said Mike Hoskins, CTO and general manager, Integration Products for Pervasive. “Industry leaders like Daptiv are adopting our technology for competitive advantage as well as for delivering greater value to their customers.”
