Cleo boosts ecommerce with the CIC Engine

Cleo, a global provider in ecosystem integration solutions, is adding enhancements to the Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) platform, aggressively tuning its CIC Engine to ensure supply chain customers have omni-channel and ecommerce agility.

CIC Engine, the core of Cleo’s cloud-based ecosystem integration platform, serves as the technology foundation on which customers can dramatically scale their operations, according to the vendor.

Whether organizations are looking to continually accommodate ever increasing growth from ecommerce sales, omnichannel fulfillment, API-based integrations, or EDI transactions, CIC Engine is designed to provide the communications, connectivity and transformation foundation for customers to seamlessly scale their business.

By providing intelligent orchestration and runtime automation of critical end-to-end integration processes (such as Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, or Load Tender-to-Invoice), CIC Engine boosts integrations across a company’s entire ecosystem, spanning trading partners, cloud or on-premise applications, legacy business systems, and more.

“Global ecommerce and omnichannel fulfillment are accelerating exponentially, but making it actually work for your business is a real integration technology challenge,” says Mahesh Rajasekharan, president and CEO of Cleo. “Meeting your customers’ increasingly high expectations requires a scalable and seamless integration engine to connect and transact with your entire ecosystem – something traditional technology providers struggle to provide. If your integration technology crashes, lacks scale, or doesn’t support API, EDI, and non-EDI transactions, this market explosion and growth opportunity will pass you by.”

Delivering an “always-on” business calls for robust, reliable runtime integration. Cleo’s CIC Engine is purpose-built to support connectivity and transformation at scale, thanks to two unique components:

• Protocol Engine – Enables dynamic end-to-end B2B and application dataflows for seamless business interactions. Businesses can leverage a rich library of B2B communications and application standards for seamless trading partner and system connectivity, including: AS2, SFTP, FTP/S, SOAP, REST, email, partner mailbox, and portals
• Integration Engine – Orchestrate any-to-any data transformations, enabling both batch and real-time multichannel business processes on a single platform. Support the industry’s most common data syntaxes, including: EDI: ANSI X12, EDIFACT, and Tradacoms; Non-EDI: JSON, XML / cXML, Flat File, Spreadsheet, and Database

CIC Engine provides powerful routing, orchestration, and runtime automation for frictionless business processes at the heart of revenue-driving operations.
