As announced in the February 2007 issue of Softshare Times, Softshare will discontinue its support of paired Softshare Vista and Softshare Delta integration solutions at the end of 2008. We apologize for any inconvenience this brings you, but we do have an excellent alternative to offer you. Softshare ECS Lite, released in late 2006, is well priced, and well suited for interacting with Delta. In fact, ECS Lite provides much better visibility and control over data flow and exception handling than Vista.
To learn more about Softshare ECS (the Lite or Standard version), visit our ECS Web pages. You’ll find detailed pricing and features here.
When you do decide to upgrade to ECS, Softshare has two upgrade tools in place to help you quickly bring your new ECS install up to speed. We’ll provide a Softshare Vista Export tool that exports the messages stored in Vista en masse to files that can then be easily imported into ECS. We’ll also provide a Delta map that automatically migrates all data from Vista’s Trading Partner Manager to ECS’s Trading Partner Manager. These utilities, along with documentation on how to use them, will be provided to you at the time of ECS purchase.
If you have any questions regarding upgrading to ECS or the eventual discontinuation of Vista+Delta support, please don’t hesitate to contact a Softshare sales representative for more information.
