ATLANTA, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- SEEBURGER Inc. today announced a strategic partnership with L&T Infotech, one of the world's top-ranked global IT services providers, designed to increase U.S. implementation resources for its electronic data interchange (EDI) and business-to-business integration (B2B) software. L&T Infotech is now providing both sales and deployment services for the SEEBURGER Business Integration Server and associated solutions.

L&T Infotech has nine U.S. offices with dedicated teams in key industry sectors with EDI/B2B needs, including technology, manufacturing, finance, healthcare and energy/petrochemical. The firm has extensive SAP and Oracle expertise as well as B2B systems integration experience, making it possible to support customers who are deploying the SEEBURGER platform in conjunction with an update, migration or implementation of a new ERP system.

The relationship grew out of a joint implementation for a major U.S. technology company that deployed SEEBURGER technology to automate supply chain communications with its trading partners. The two firms divided architecture, deployment and map development responsibilities for that project, enabling L&T Infotech to develop expertise in SEEBURGER implementations.

"Partnering with L&T Infotech expands our services capacity and provides an additional expert implementation resource for our U.S. customers, particularly for crossover deployments involving tandem ERP/EDI upgrades," said Wesley Thompson, VP of Business Development, SEEBURGER Inc. "The relationship will enable customers to source both technologies from a single firm to ensure seamless integration and full accountability."

"Much of our systems integration business is ERP-focused, and many of our ERP customers need B2B integration as well," said Sudip Banerjee, Chief Executive Officer, L&T Infotech. "Adding SEEBURGER technology to our portfolio will allow us to serve that need with a robust, advanced and scalable EDI/B2B platform."

SEEBURGER's comprehensive EDI/B2B solution suite includes multiple B2B gateways and related products for disparate enterprise needs, including specialized solutions that automate document exchange with non-EDI-enabled trading partners via e-mail, spoke units and partner portals. SEEBURGER is able to support all global trading requirements with a single solution, aiding global enterprises that wish to simplify their technology infrastructure by standardizing on one B2B platform for all offices. Both in-house and outsourced deployment options are available.
