LANSA has announced the certification and release of LANSA Data Sync Direct V6, an enhanced version of its widely used data synchronization product, which will facilitate migration by suppliers, distributors, and retailers to the new 1SYNC data pool platform.

1SYNCùa not-for-profit subsidiary of GS1 USùintroduced the new platform to help participants maximize the value of data synchronization. The certification, the first for a 1SYNC Solution Partner, recognizes that LANSA Data Sync Direct has met the requirements for migrating recipient users to 1SYNC Data Recipient XML Release 6.1.1.

New features in this release of LANSA Data Sync Direct include support for the new 1SYNC messaging and data content resulting from the 1SYNC platform change. By being the first to obtain certification, LANSA has provided its customers with a head start on this conversion. In addition to the 1SYNC platform change support, the new release provides for the dynamic definition and storage of item attributes, which make it easier for customers to define, add, and maintain industry or partner specific attributes.

Another important new feature allows users to save a specified number of historical versions of attributes as they change over time, thus showing the impact of publication/attribute changes. In addition, LANSA Data Sync Direct's newer architecture more easily facilitates the processing of item data received by means other than GDSN in a manner consistent with how GDSN publications are handled.

Quality, Affordable Solution

Jeff Holzman, LANSA Americas' director of solution product sales, said, "LANSA has been working closely with 1SYNC and key customers to understand the latter's needs. In addition to the new 1SYNC platform support, LANSA Data Sync Direct now supports full Master Data Management and Product Information Management capabilities. LANSA's customers and business partners have told us that many existing PIM and MDM solutions have proven to be difficult and expensive to implement. Therefore we feel there is a strong need for a quality, affordable solution that supports GDSN/1SYNC and other critical data sources. Our goal in this market is to provide superb software that can be implemented in production within reasonable time frames and costs."
