BackWeb Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: BWEB), a leading provider of
software designed to mobilize existing enterprise web applications,
announced today that Oracle has validated the integration between
the BackWeb(R) Offline Access Server(TM) and Oracle's PeopleSoft
Enterprise Learning Management (ELM) application. This integration
makes it possible for ELM users to access their personal learning
workflow and enrolled course training content even while
disconnected from the network. The results and reporting of these
offline training activities are automatically synchronized back to
the ELM application whenever the user reconnects to the network.
This is the second Oracle application for which BackWeb, a
Certified Partner in Oracle(R) PartnerNetwork, provides a mobile
offline solution. The first was the Oracle e-Performance Management
(EPM) application announced in April 2005. BackWeb directly sells
and markets these solutions and works closely with the Oracle
PartnerNetwork to support its activities. The BackWeb Offline
Access Server (OAS) provides anytime, anywhere access to existing
enterprise web applications, portals, and content for mobile and
field personnel who are occasionally connected to the network via
wireless or other connection. The product makes it possible for
enterprises to provide mobile solutions while still retaining the
central control, cost effectiveness, and flexibility of
applications deployed in web-based enterprise architectures. It
does not require changes to the application or installation of
complex software on user's laptops. When offline, users work
normally in their browsers and new or changed data is automatically
synchronized between their laptops and the online application.
BackWeb works with leading application vendors and customers to
provide mobile extensions to their commercial and custom
applications. "BackWeb provides a valuable extension to our product
offering. By mobilizing Oracle's learning management application,
enterprises can easily deliver and promote learning to their mobile
workforce, partners, and suppliers," said Oracle Vice President HCM
Strategy, Gretchen Alarcon. "BackWeb now has integrated mobile
solutions for multiple Oracle applications and is a key member of
Oracle's partner ecosystem." PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning
Management is a stand-alone, internet-based solution that enables
companies to proactively drive workforce development to achieve
organizational goals. It is designed from the ground up to deploy
the right learning to the right person at the right time, in any
learning medium. Enterprise Learning Management reduces learning
costs and improves productivity by streamlining the learning
process and embedding learning into all critical business
processes. As a part of PeopleSoft's Human Capital Management (HCM)
suite of software, ELM easily integrates learning into essential
business workflows. "Enterprises are now realizing they can
accelerate their employees' training if they can extend their
e-learning applications and content to be available when
individuals are mobile," said Moshe Raccah, vice-president of sales
and business development at BackWeb. "BackWeb lets customers
achieve this mobile extension of their e-learning. With this second
validation, our customers can be assured that the integration
between BackWeb and the Oracle application is tested and proven.
Once deployed, the integrated BackWeb-Oracle ELM solution makes it
possible for people to access their e-learning courses and content
anytime, anywhere. As a result, they can use their time more
productively and advance more quickly in their personal training
plans." About Oracle PartnerNetwork Oracle PartnerNetwork is a
