There was not any platform yet where sterling commerce developers could share about their problems and get the solutions. The idea of developing a portal exclusively for sharing Sterling Commerce product information was totally new and innovative. Moreover, multiple features were asked to be applied and integrated on one platform so that the portal can serve spectrum of purposes of the Sterling Commerce/Gentran Integration Suite developers. The major concern was to integrate all the features on the same platform which can be utilized just by logging in once.

SIA needed a faster, more reliable and cost-efficient portal to enhance the productivity of Sterling Commerce/Gentran Integration Suite developers and architects. It needed to help them in sharing knowledge about Sterling Software and get the better jobs related to the same. Since there was not a single portal available with the same concept, SIA wanted to cover all the useful features such as; forum, job listing, libraries and full profile of the members. It was a big challenge to establish a new idea with the bang in the market in a way, that from initial usage only, the admiration can be earned. And thus, there was a need to leave an irremovable impression about its usefulness among the sterling commerce developers from the beginning only.

After reviewing the requirements deeply, Softweb has developed a portal which is one of the biggest Joomla implementation with copious features. It is having features of Job Directories, Job Listing, Library and Forum where the developers and architects post their queries and discuss about it with the other members. It also contains profiles of the members and commonly used code libraries. In fact Softweb has also incorporated Document Management System / Code Repository and Fireboard Forum Implementation for the best possible results.

Softweb has developed a portal that provides a deep insight into development road maps, and new application demos valuable for Sterling Commerce Developers. Moreover, now with this portal, the developers can check in daily with other developers worldwide to get answers to their toughest questions and share their best practices. The portal’s main users would be the elite class like Sterling Commerce/Gentran Integration Suite developers who have time constraint and so this fact was considered strongly while developing it. And that is why the efforts were also made to make the portal user friendly and robust. It has provided a paradigm community portal for the Sterling Commerce/Gentran Integration Suite developers and architects harnessing all the latest web technologies that cater maximum possible features to the users. In short, with the extensive efforts Softweb has developed the portal that contains all the features fulfilling all the wishes of SIA 

Softweb Solutions has created a social networking portal siaxis.com where the Sterling Commerce developers can develop their network and share the latest product information, development road maps, best practices resources and more. It is the largest community portal for Sterling Commerce/Gentran Integration Suite developers. Now, with this portal it has become easier for the Sterling Commerce/Gentran Integration Suite developers to find solutions pertaining to Sterling Software. It is developed as the perfect Sterling Commerce developers’ resource for capitalizing Sterling Integrator tools, tips, user forums, and jobs.

Moreover, with this portal now it is possible for SIA to immix all the information that can be used for their consulting and development business. With the efforts of Softweb, the portal has become a lead generator as well as number one outlet to advertise, for it.
