K-Rise Systems EASYProcess 4 Achieves SAP-Certified Integration with SAP NetWeaver®
K-Rise Systems announced today that EASYProcess™ version 4 has achieved SAP-certified integration with the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform.
Aurora, IL (PRWEB) February 07, 2013
K-Rise Systems, provider of business applications to companies around the world, announced today that EASYProcess™ version 4, its proprietary enterprise development platform, has achieved SAP-certified integration with the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform.
The SAP® Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified that EASYProcess 4, by K-Rise Systems Inc. integrates with the SAP ERP 6.0 application and previous versions including SAP R/3® 4.7 software. EASYProcess integrates with the business object repository API using SAP’s .NET connector 3.0. This is one of the most versatile types of connectivity, which will give EASYProcess the flexibility to exchange critical data with SAP ERP.
Since 2005 K-Rise Systems has been working within the JD Edwards community, introducing a range of products across the business spectrum: EASYCommerce, Vendor Self-Service, EASYBuyer (procurement) and Employee Self-Service head its lineup. Among its customers are Amway International, Stryker Medical, Beretta and the Government of Bermuda.
“Through certified integration with SAP applications, K-Rise Systems aims to increase the reach of EASYProcess,” said Suman Prasad, Software Architect, K-Rise Systems.
As a result of this certification, K-Rise Systems may now begin introducing its development platform and products built with it to users of SAP solutions. One major area of success for K-Rise Systems has been EASYProcess integration with Microsoft SharePoint. The growing interest in this SharePoint integration made it clear that the first area of integration with SAP solutions for EASYProcess should be with this Microsoft business collaboration platform. Users of EASYProcess will only need to include EASYProcess as a “Feature” of Sharepoint, following a few simple instructions, which will then open up the ability to include SAP data and enterprise class applications created by EASYProcess.
About K-Rise Systems
K-Rise Systems, out of Aurora IL, is focused on bringing its product, EASYProcess, to the marketplace. EASYProcess has evolved from a simple connector to an advanced workflow engine combined with a portal and application development platform.

Man Airlifted After SUV Hits Utility Pole on Route 25 Sunday Afternoon
Patch Batavia, IL --One man was airlifted to a hospital after a one-car crash Sunday afternoon on Route 25 south of Batavia, fire officials said.
The crash occurred at the Red Oak Nature Center entrance on the 2300 block of South River Road (Route 25). Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene at about 2:50 p.m., said Mike Klemencic, a North Aurora fire captain.
The man was taken by helicopter to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. His condition and identity were not immediately available.
A midsize or crossover sport utility-type vehicle was northbound on Route 25 when it struck a pole on the passenger side, Klemencic said.
"The car went through the utility pole sideways and completely took it out," Klemencic said. "(The vehicle) went about 60 feet. It ended up in the parking lot in the Red Oak Nature Center. Right now the accident's under investigation with the police."
The man that was transported was a passenger in the vehicle. The driver did not require transport, according to the fire department.
The crash shut down Route 25 south of Batavia for several hours between Ridge and Banbury roads. Crash investigators were at the scene during the closure. It was raining during the crash, Klemencic said.
"Please avoid the area of Rt. 25, north of Butterfield (Rt. 56) ... due to a serious traffic accident," an advisory message from North Aurora police said. The message was released at 4:09 p.m. Sunday.
Injuries were reported and a medical helicopter was requested to the scene, according to scanner reports at about 2:55 p.m. The car had to be towed after the crash.
Further information on the crash was not immediately available. Patch will post an update if any other details are released.
