Jitterbit 2.0: The Next Level of Integration Design and Performance

Open Source Integration Platform Delivers New Enterprise Capabilities, Scalability and Manageability to Simplify Application, Data and Process Integration

OAKLAND, CA–(EMWNews – August 18, 2008) – Jitterbit Inc., the leading provider of open source integration software,

today announced the availability of Jitterbit 2.0 Enterprise, a major

release that includes new capabilities, scalability and management tools.

With this new release, organizations from the mid-market to large Fortune

1000 enterprises have the ability to quickly and cost-effectively solve

their most complex integration challenges between legacy, enterprise, and

on-demand applications and data.

“When Continental needed to quickly integrate multiple database systems

across all airports and corporate locations, we looked to Jitterbit,” said

Denise Wilson, senior manager of technology enterprise engineering at

Continental Airlines. “Jitterbit brought simplicity to our project at a

fraction of the cost of traditional integration solutions. We are now

looking to extend Jitterbit 2.0 Enterprise for use across the organization

and have been impressed by new features like enhanced visual diagrams,

reusable scripts and parallel processing for increased performance.”

The open source solution of choice for SOA, Web Services,

Point-To-Point and ETL integration, Jitterbit simplifies the creation,

deployment and maintenance of application and data integrations, both

within and between organizations. Jitterbit has been adopted by more than

3,000 organizations, with customers representing some of the world’s

largest companies and government agencies including NASA, Continental

Airlines and the State of Iowa.

“Jitterbit 2.0 is a natural extension of our commitment to making

integration an easy, sharable and community-focused endeavor,” said Sharam

Sasson, Jitterbit chairman and CEO. “Enterprise integration can be overly

complex, and today’s organizations need solutions that are powerful,

flexible and able to grow with the business, while simple enough to allow

IT managers and business analysts to build and maintain unique integration

processes.”

Several new features are available in Jitterbit

2.0, including an advanced user interface and integration server

enhancements, such as pipeline insertions and scripting,

synchronous/asynchronous operations and parallel processing with data

chunking. The new features are designed to empower the business user,

providing dramatic increases in flexibility and ease of use.

Enterprise-focused upgrades to the server allow organizations to

significantly increase scalability and performance by intelligently and

dynamically maximizing hardware utilization.

Jitterbit 2.0 enhancements include:

--  Integration Process Builder -- Jitterbit 2.0 provides a revamped

    graphical UI that provides a new workflow process designer, making it

    easier for users to define, test, view and change their integrations. Users

    now have a complete drag-and-drop environment for designing their entire

    integration process from end to end.

    

--  Pipeline Customization -- The ability to add customized logic at every

    step of the integration process including the creation of reusable scripts

    is now available in Jitterbit 2.0. Pipeline customization eliminates

    redundant activities in complex integrations, decreasing processing times

    and adding a new level of flexibility to Jitterbit integration operations.

    

--  Parallel Processing -- Jitterbit 2.0 introduces parallel processing,

    allowing large amounts of data to be processed simultaneously in chunks or

    transactions. Jitterbit can now move more data in a shorter amount of time,

    and with its Smart Reconstruction technology, ensure that your data arrives

    securely and in the intended format.
