Schaumburg, IL (July 11, 2006). Effective Data (ED), a private Schaumburg - based EDI
Consulting and Data Integration consulting firm, has partnered with Komatsu America to
complete extensive electronic data interchange projects.
Rolling Meadows, IL – based Komatsu America Corp. has partnered with Effective Data to
complete GIS migration projects. Essentially all of Komatsu’s BizTalk applications will be
migrated over to a Gentran GIS environment. This is a significant effort since many of
Komatsu’s servers are currently running with BizTalk applications. ED will migrate all existing
BizTalk applications over to GIS. Migrating from a BizTalk to GIS environment will help
Komatsu realize considerable cost reductions.
