Cast Iron Announces Next-Generation iA4000 Series of Software-as-a-Service Integration Solutions

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Jul 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Cast Iron Systems, the #1 SaaS integration solution provider, today
announces the Cast Iron iA4000 series, a major development in the
company's 'configuration, not coding' approach to integration. Designed
with input from hundreds of customers and partners, the Cast Iron iA4000
series, whether on-premise or hosted in the cloud, significantly expands
the capabilities of Cast Iron's market-leading SaaS integration solution.
With the iA4000 series, Cast Iron now provides everything customers need
to expedite the integration of on-demand to on-demand and on-premise
applications. Cast Iron's new data migration capabilities include data
conversion and profiling tools to accelerate SaaS adoption and use, its
extensive library of pre-configured integration templates enable
out-of-the-box synchronization of one-to-one and many-to-many application
endpoints, and an advanced process flow designer helps users map out,
execute, track, and document business process and data flows.

"Cast Iron is a mission-critical component of the Gearworks
appmosphere(TM) platform that lets companies integrate their back-office
applications with mobile devices on all major US carrier networks,"
states Rob Juncker, CTO and co-founder of Gearworks, a leading provider
of location-based mobile business applications. "The iA4000 simplifies
and speeds integration so we can scale our services to meet the demand
for complex integrations in days rather than months."

The Cast Iron iA4000 series offers a host of productivity enhancements and
major new capabilities:

-- Powerful data migration with built-in data conversion and profiling
tools. Now customers can easily use the Cast Iron solution for all of their
data migration needs, such as removing duplicates and rapid data cleansing,
for example, to greatly accelerate SaaS adoption and use.
-- An online library of pre-configured components called Template
Integration Processes (TIPs) for solving common integration problems. These
templates help customers who are integrating on-demand solutions to solve
their problems right out-of-the-box. Where company-specific configuration
is needed, self-guided configuration wizards customize the TIPs to address
customers' specific needs and expedite SaaS adoption.
-- The only Process Flow Designer that allows users to visualize business
processes, the flow of information, and the movement of data on screen in a
way that intuitively makes sense. Its unique user interface maps data flows
to actual business processes so clearly that documentation is unnecessary,
and creating integration workflows between on-demand and on-premise
applications is a breeze -- a big boost for productivity.

"The introduction of the iA4000 series extends Cast Iron's commanding
lead in the SaaS integration market," said Ken Comee, president and CEO
of Cast Iron Systems. "In developing the new iA4000 series, we've worked
closely with hundreds of our customers and the top on-demand application
vendors in the industry to produce a solution that takes on-premise and
in the cloud integration to an entirely new level of speed and
simplicity."
