Stone Bond Technologies and Nintex today announced that they have formed a strategic technology partnership that utilizes Stone Bond's Enterprise Enabler AppComm data connection technology with the Nintex products: Nintex Workflow 2010, Nintex Workflow 2007, and Nintex Reporting 2008.

The partnership provides the industry’s most powerful integrated solution to empower users to automate business processes in SharePoint through workflows and codelessly, bi-directionally transform and integrate data between multiple and disparate applications and data sources.

The seamless integration between Stone Bond and Nintex products makes it easy to provide data virtualization to your SharePoint workflows. A single click of the button will auto create the XML code required to execute. Immediately this external data from many different sources is accessible inside a SharePoint list or part giving users complete create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) capabilities. And by using an ADO.Net driver, developers can quickly develop web parts, dashboards and UI applications that not only display, but also interact with aggregated data from multiple backend (LOB) systems.

Nintex Workflow enhances SharePoint workflow to allow everyone to design, deploy, and use workflows quickly and easily, while offering features powerful enough for solution professionals to do advanced process modeling and design. By extending, rather than replacing, SharePoint’s native workflow engine, it introduces no new major burdens for IT, while adding farm-wide tracking and management tools. It ships with a large number of ready-to-use workflow tools, including connectivity options to native SharePoint features and industry-standard protocols.

“Accessing enterprise data in workflows can be a challenge, but Stone Bond made it easy,” said Mike Fitzmaurice, Vice President of Technology at Nintex. “From our point of view, we’re just accessing the Business Data Catalog (for SharePoint 2007) or Business Connectivity Services (for SharePoint 2010). Since Stone Bond leverages this key part of SharePoint, that data is available to lists, Web Parts, search and workflows. We both see SharePoint as the center of the universe – it’s what makes our products work together so well, and it’s what will help customers get more done in less time.”

Pamela Szabo, Chief Technology Officer of Stone Bond Technologies added: “Nintex provides the best workflows and together we compliment any organizations’ SharePoint investment as a natural extension of SharePoint with the integration and connectivity capabilities of Enterprise Enabler. The ability to do this in hours, not months, by pointing, clicking, dragging, and dropping means a dynamic shift in a business’s agility and ability to transform data into information and information into action. The return on investment for customers is significant!”
