Liaison ECS Server - Enterprise Application Integration
ECS Server and Delta are a complete set of enterprise application integration and web services tools, allowing you to integrate between applications, implement Web services, and easily manage the communications and mapping components of every solution you put in place.
Uninterrupted Data Flow
Whether the data is derived from EDI, XML, legacy applications, or enterprise-wide distributed database systems, the comprehensive functionality of ECS Server provides a powerful integration tool for all types of EAI projects. Fully extensible and adaptable to any standard, ECS Server can move transactional data across your enterprise with minimal effort.
At the heart of ECS Server is its ability to route and process data while carefully tracking both communications successes and failures. This core functionality happens at the server level, where ECS Server runs quietly in the background without user intervention. ECS Server can be installed on multiple servers and its enterprise edition supports scale-out processing and integrated failover configurations.
At the client level, you have access to ECS Servers' various utilities. These utilities are available locally from your desktop or from WebECS, a Web component that lets you manage ECS Server from a browser. Regardless of how you access these utilities, you'll use them to configure how data moves through ECS Server, to view and track the data that passes through, and to summarize the data.
Liaison ECS Server is a communications server application that moves data into, out of, and across your enterprise using its sophisticated event-driven processing system. You can configure ECS Server to retrieve and deliver data using a variety of transfer protocols and standards, including:
With Liaison's well-priced and well-supported EAI solution, you'll have the following capabilities, technologies, and features at your fingertips:

One of VL's Clients has kind words for us....Pat Chown, CEO of Foundation, says, “Many other EDI providers get you hooked by quoting a low initial price, and then hitting you with additional charges once you’re already dependant on them. Robin Smith of Virtual was totally upfront about costs. The integration between their solution and our Blue Link EPR system has been seamless, and timely.”
