Flexible, Standards-Based Technology Based on J2EE Platform
SpaceWorks Web BusinessManager Suite 6.0 is built to handle the complex needs of large manufacturers, distributors and supplier-driven marketplaces. It is based on the J2EE platform, enabling SpaceWorks to deliver a robust, feature-rich solution to our clients. It is also certified on Commerce One, the leader in global e-Commerce solutions for business, and is Marketsite 3.1 and 3.2 compliant.

The Suite has a unique modular design that allows you to choose from a vast array of B2B Web-based applications that can be deployed in any sequence, at any time, beginning with SpaceWorks OrderManager. The underlying distributed object architecture is well suited to mission-critical, enterprise-class e-Business, and delivers the ability to easily integrate third-party applications to extend functionality. The Suite's J2EE-based platform reflects the SpaceWorks tradition of delivering the strongest, standards-based B2B applications for conducting business on the Web.

Based on J2EE, the e-Business Platform of Choice
Web BusinessManager Suite 6.0 is based on J2EE platform technologies, which are rapidly being recognized as the standard for enterprisewide Web-based e-business applications. SpaceWorks' J2EE-based architecture enables our clients to enjoy numerous benefits, such as increased interoperability with independently developed applications, enhanced seamless business processes as well as increased performance. SpaceWorks clients also experience lower costs associated with the tailoring and future upgrades of the Suite. Version 6.0 extends the current use of Extensible Markup Language (XML) in the Web BusinessManager Suite, which will enable faster integration to other systems.

Certified On BEA Weblogic
The Web BusinessManager Suite 6.0 is certified on BEA Weblogic®, the market leader in application servers, and will be certified and delivered on IBM® Websphere™ and iPlanet Application Server™ in early Q1 2001. The Suite is available on NT, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX operating systems.

Unrivaled Performance


"The product from Day One was created with the Internet in mind."
—Yankee Group



"SpaceWorks has transformed the original 'OrderManager,' now called Web BusinessManager Suite, to support Sun's J2EE platform ... the product now supports real-life business processes by way of integration adapters, homegrown components, and third-party plug-in modules. [the Suite] has evolved into a real-time customizable B2B
e-Commerce engine."
Gartner Group, Feb. 2001

"The new J2EE platform ... once again illustrates the SpaceWorks tradition of delivering the strongest, standards-based B2B applications for conducting business on the Web."
Dave MacSwain, President/CEO, SpaceWorks

"Vendors' fates will depend on openness and focus… in an environment where two factors determine a software company 's success: its ability to play on leading Java application servers, and the quality of its applications."
Forrester Research,
March 2001

"The evolution of B-to-B integration means an increased vendor focus on XML and Java standards … J2EE compliance will let integration servers take logic and integration objects ... and re-use them in various integration scenarios between different systems."
InformationWeek,
March 2001
