Kaba Workforce Solutions, Telliris and Open Applications Group (OAGi) Announces Collaboration on Seamless, Secure, Integration Link 

 

MIRAMAR, Florida, January 12, 2010 - In a joint announcement today Telliris, Open Applications Group (OAGi) and Kaba Workforce Solutions announced the integration of the Telliris Attend Telephone Time and Labor system with Kaba’s B-COMM for PeopleSoft Time and Labor, B-COMM for Oracle Time and Labor, B-COMM for Microsoft Dynamics AX and AutoTime 7. This latest collaboration utilizes the OAGi standard message format to provide a seamless and secure communication linkage between Telliris and Kaba Workforce Solutions, which maximizes ease of use for existing and new customers. 

Built upon the service oriented framework of Kaba Workforce Solutions, communications are accomplished via the OAGi Process Employee Work Time Business Object Document, (BOD). Time and labor activities, which are reported via the telephone, are validated during entry, assuring error free data. 

Per Mark Nickson, Managing Director, Telliris, “Given this new standardization Telliris Attend can deliver employee time transactions directly to both B-COMM and AutoTime workforce solutions, building on our joint history of successful, secure, integrated product offerings.” David Connelly, CEO, OAGi added: “The trend for global cross industry interoperability is growing and this newest step in the relationship between Telliris and Kaba Workforce Solutions demonstrates the value to not only both corporations but also to their mutual customers. Moving to a standardized collaboration illustrates the core benefits of the OAGi mission and saves customers from having to develop a series of “one-off” communication protocols.” 

Richard V. Souders, President and CEO, Kaba Workforce Solutions (KBM) stated, “KBM, as an OAGi member, continues to support standardization efforts for the benefit of our worldwide customers. Our future plans include extending support via OAGi BODs for machine data collection, as well as for HR and ERP system integration.” Mr. Souders continued on to say, “We have been proud of the caliber of our on-going association with both OAGi and Telliris and are pleased to add this newest enhancement into our joint portfolio of integrated solutions. Kaba Workforce Solutions continues to place the highest value on both customer satisfaction and ease of use within our product portfolio, as is clearly demonstrated by this latest joint collaboration.”
