/n software Releases Their Enterprise Communications Tasks for SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)

October 3rd 2006, Microsoft SOA & Business Process Conference, Redmond, WA � /n software inc. (www.nsoftware.com) announces the release of their fully-managed suite of secure communications Tasks for Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Built from the same core codebase as the /n software Enterprise Adapters for Microsoft BizTalk Server, the SSIS Tasks provide robust enterprise ready Internet connectivity, secure messaging, and secure file transfer.

The /n software Tasks are tightly integrated with the Microsoft Business Intelligence Development Studio providing a rich design time experience. By combining the /n software Tasks and the Workflow capabilities of SSIS, SQL integrators can build solutions which securely send and receive data between disparate sources without the need for additional software development. Using the /n software Tasks, common workflow problems like secure data retrieval through SFTP, SMS or Instant message alerts, secure email messaging, and automated remote execution become trivial to implement.

"The release of our suite of SSIS Tasks is a major milestone in the development of our line of Enterprise Adapters," said Eric Madariaga, Marketing Director at /n software. "By leveraging the same codebase as our BizTalk Adapters we are able to deliver an entire suite of robust, high-performance connectivity tasks in record time. This release addresses an important requirement for many SQL Integration scenarios by adding secure connectivity and messaging from within SSIS workflows without dependence on external software."

The current release includes the following Tasks for Microsoft SQL Server:

• FTPS Task - SSL-Enabled Secure FTP Task for SSIS.
• SFTP Task - Secure Shell (SSH) Enabled FTP Task for SSIS.
