Neuron ESB 3.5 is the latest version of the Neuron enterprise service bus built on Microsoft .NET. Neuron ESB integrates with Microsoft and non-Microsoft platforms, systems and applications to provide real-time, reliable and durable messaging, application integration, business processing, workflow, and web services management.

"In Samskip's endeavor to become a world-class company, it's imperative that we are well-connected throughout our organization," said Ron van Gessel, manager system development, Samskip Multimodal. "This quest for deep integration has led us to abandon our legacy systems and embrace Neuron ESB. We now have a robust and easy-to-use enterprise service bus that offers high availability, scalability and performance. Real-time integration gives Samskip the comprehensive knowledge we need to conduct business efficiently and create value for our customers."

Samskip has initiated several Neuron ESB implementations that will move the company from a monolithic architecture to a SOA-oriented platform. Immediate configurations include booking information, transport management, trip distance and time calculations, address validation, and SMS updates of various applications throughout the organization.

Samskip's vision to unlock functions and services currently caught in legacy systems, using Neuron ESB as middleware, will contribute to the efficient management of ever-changing systems, software and business processes.

"The very nature of Samskip's logistics business and international footprint made the company an ideal candidate for Neuron ESB's integration capabilities," said Marty Wasznicky, general manager, Neuron ESB. "Our product effectively supports their modernization mandate to provide cost-efficient, sustainable and environmentally-friendly transport by equipping the organization with the means to move to an agile SOA approach."
