October 10, 2006; 01:34 AM
Bluewolf and salesforce.com, the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, announced the availability of Bluewolf’s Real-Time ESI connector for salesforce.com's AppExchange. With the latest release of Bluewolf ESI, organizations can now process real-time transactions between Salesforce and any third party application. Real-Time ESI is immediately available for test drive and deployment at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange. The announcement was made today at Dreamforce ‘06, salesforce.com’s User and Developer Conference.

Bluewolf’s ESI (Enterprise Salesforce Integration) is leveraged by organizations to seamlessly connect Salesforce to any third party application. For the past two years, companies have used ESI to automate batch transactions with the salesforce.com AppExchange. Today, with the release of the ESI Real-Time Connector, organizations can automate time sensitive integrations which are not suitable for batch processing. Bluewolf’s ESI Real-Time Connector is available on a limited trial basis, and is scheduled to become generally available with the release of salesforce.com Winter ’07.

Demonstrations of the Bluewolf ESI Real-Time Connector can be seen at Bluewolf’s booth #1010 at Dreamforce.

“With the release of our ESI Real-Time Connector, companies can use the AppExchange and Salesforce as a mission critical platform,” said Lou Fox, Bluewolf’s Chief Architect. “Companies can now send and receive Salesforce data in an instantaneous manner.”

“Bluewolf ESI has been an AppExchange offering for over a year,” said Matt Holleran, vice president, AppExchange partners, salesforce.com. “Their most recent release demonstrates the power of AppExchange and Salesforce as a mission-critical platform.”

Bluewolf ESI for AppExchange is one of more than 375 applications now available on the salesforce.com AppExchange, the world’s first on-demand directory and sharing service, found at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange.

Apex is salesforce.com’s breakthrough new on-demand platform and programming language that is redefining what a multi-tenant on-demand application can be.
