Overview

NetWeave Integrated Solutions (NIS) is a global provider of value-added enterprise integration tools. Our middleware products and services encompass broad platform experience and a variety of messaging and database solutions. For over twenty years and counting, we have enabled customers to seamlessly transition from yesterday’s systems to today’s more robust, flexible, and web-savvy technologies.

NIS is a privately held company with corporate offices in Freehold, New Jersey (USA), additional branches throughout the United States, and distributors who represent NIS worldwide. NetWeave, the product from which we derive our company name, was one of the very first middleware solutions to be introduced in the 1980s. With the rapid advances in computing technology, twenty years is not merely two decades. It’s an eon. As competitors have disappeared, NetWeave has remained a viable presence in the marketplace, in part because of its inherent reliability but also because the product’s original developers – still with NetWeave – have expanded its functionality to accommodate the changing needs of customers. Longevity counts. The majority of our original clients remain with us, happy to be supported by the same team who created the product years ago.

Our Integration Philosophy

NetWeave Integrated Solutions is not only a software provider but an integration specialist as well. We offer our customers the assistance required to implement a complete and cost-effective solution. Our integration strategy includes:

Transparency
We hide the implementation details from the application in order to support future expansion.

Efficiency
We implement efficiently, and we make messaging fast.

Leverage
We take advantage of the existing capabilities of the operating system and other third-party products. No need for duplication.

Support
We offer both tools and services to aid our customers through the implementation process.

History

Like many products, NetWeave was born out of a customer request. In NetWeave’s case, the customer needed to integrate the applications located on two proprietary, incompatible systems - a Tandem (now HP NonStop) and a VAX (now HP OpenVMS). Out of that custom implementation came a solution that has been extended to support a wide variety of platforms and application-integration opportunities.
