Business Wire
BackWeb Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWEB), a leading provider of
offline and mobile web software, announced today that BAE Systems,
an aerospace and defense company, has licensed BackWeb's software
to mobilize their Oracle PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM)
suite of applications in their U.S.-based operations. BAE Systems'
initial plan for the BackWeb(R) Offline Access Server(TM) is to
mobilize their Oracle PeopleSoft ePerformance Management solution,
enabling mobile employees and managers to complete performance
review documents while on the road and disconnected from the
network. The Oracle PeopleSoft ePerformance enables BAE Systems to
improve the speed and accuracy of the company's performance
management with a paperless process. By extending this application
with BackWeb, managers and mobile employees have their ePerformance
Management application available anytime, anywhere. They will
automatically synchronize their workflows and pending employee
performance reviews to their laptops. While mobile and disconnected
from the network, they are free to continue working on their
performance reviews in the ePerformance Management web user
interface as they do normally. Whenever mobile users acquire a
network connection, their mobile work and the current state of the
application are automatically synchronized. All ePerformance
Management centralized administration, work processes, and user
interfaces are automatically reflected in users' mobile
applications. "BAE Systems has employees around the world, and
ensuring that they have consistent access to the processes and
tools that support them, such as access to performance management
tools, is a challenge and a requirement if they are to continue to
achieve high levels of personal and company productivity," said
Curt Gray, senior vice president, human resources at BAE Systems.
"Our focus is to provide our employees and managers with consistent
access to the Oracle ePerformance Management application regardless
of their location or network status." "We welcome BAE Systems to
our family of customers," said Moshik Raccah, vice-president sales
and business development at BackWeb. "We will help them achieve
their goal of mobilizing multiple HCM applications for their
distributed workforce. Our proven technology delivers and we look
forward to helping BAE Systems improve employee productivity and
accelerate company workflows." About BackWeb Technologies BackWeb
