More Companies Turn to Jitterbit for Critical Enterprise Integration Needs

Unparalleled Ease of Use and Flexibility Addresses a Variety of Integration Requirements Across the Enterprise


OAKLAND, CA--(Marketwire - September 15, 2009) - On the heels of its second consecutive win in the InfoWorld Bossie Awards, and a successful 3.0 beta rollout over the summer, Jitterbit, the leading provider of application and data integration software, continues to experience momentum with a steadily growing customer base. Recent additions to the Jitterbit customer list include the nation's oldest and largest health care services company and a popular luxury shoe designer, which join the ranks of more than 100 Jitterbit customers -- NASA, Continental Airlines, Balfour Beatty, the State of Iowa and more -- spanning government, construction, retail, high tech and energy industries.

Medical apparel manufacturer, The Marena Group, is a longtime customer. Describing his experience with Jitterbit, Marena's director of Internet Services, Alex Knezevic stated, "We initially chose Jitterbit for its ease of use, flexibility in working with both our commercial and custom developed applications, and the speed with which we could complete an integration. Each new Jitterbit iteration has brought new benefits and improvements in performance, usability and manageability. We are now an early adopter of Jitterbit 3.0, an enhanced integration tool that brings new enterprise management capabilities to an already powerful solution."

The company's growth continues as more businesses turn to powerful yet cost-effective solutions for integration, and discover Jitterbit's unique no-coding approach to enterprise integration, which allows the tech savvy business analyst to quickly tackle even the most complex integrations with ease. In a recent poll, Jitterbit customers cited ease of use and flexibility as the top two drivers for choosing Jitterbit over traditional integration solutions.

"We looked at a number of integration vendors, before ultimately selecting Jitterbit," said Philip Fassnacht, director of information technology at FleetMatics. "Jitterbit's graphical user interface allowed us to complete integrations from a variety of disparate data sources, without writing one single line of code. Our initial bi-directional integration was live in less than three weeks, transferring hundreds of thousands of leads from our Salesforce implementation to our custom direct sales application. And Jitterbit's speed and accuracy is impressive, processing thousands of records in less than two minutes while preventing duplicate entries."

"Squeezing the most out of IT investments has never been more of a priority," said Sharam Sasson, Jitterbit CEO. "Businesses continue to turn to Jitterbit to solve their most complex integration needs at a lower total cost of ownership, and our customers report that they continue to discover new uses for Jitterbit's integration capabilities across their organization."

Shipping later this month, Jitterbit 3.0 is designed to address large-scale enterprise integrations with support for high volume transactions, expanded connectivity options and enterprise management tools and features for multi-user environments. Its unique "no-coding" approach allows business analysts to graphically configure and manage their cloud computing and on-premises application and data integration projects.

In early September, for the second consecutive year, Jitterbit was named the winner of an InfoWorld Best of Open Source Software Awards in the "Best of Middleware and Platforms" category. Selected by InfoWorld Test Center editors and reviewers, the 2009 Bossies celebrate the top 40 products for business and IT pros that offer the most promising and cost-effective products available to IT organizations.
