Sparta Systems, introduced Web Service capabilities for its TrackWise Enterprise Quality Management Solution (EQMS). The new functionality enables TrackWise to seamlessly integrate with leading ERP systems and other entrenched enterprise software applications, reducing time to implement and facilitating a dramatic increase in the efficiency and effectiveness of best-of-breed, consolidated quality systems.TrackWise’s new Web Services functionality enables this market-leading EQMS to perform real-time interaction with enterprise software systems including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). Rather than following a fragmented approach, Sparta has implemented an architectural evolution embedding Web Services throughout the core functions of the product. TrackWise is now well-equipped to interact in environments leveraging service-oriented architecture (SOA) for efficient, reusable integration. For example, harmonized, global TrackWise deployments have been the catalyst for organizations to implement modern integration strategies, bridging the gap between quality data and processes that span multiple disconnected ERP systems. In the current economic climate, it is critical for companies to make the most effective use of their existing solutions, avoiding costly customization and system replacements that are not absolutely necessary.
