ASTERIA Warp Adopted into “Spendia”, TIS’s Cloud-based Expense Settlement Service as Optional Integration Feature
Press Release
Tokyo — March. 30 2023 — Asteria Corporation (Japan listed, Security Code: 3853) and TIS Inc. of the TIS INTEC Group, today announced that TIS will start offering “Spendia” cloud-based expense settlement service which incorporates “ASTERIA Warp,” Asteria’s no-code data integration tool, as an optional integration feature.
Spendia is a cloud-based expense settlement service developed by TIS, which has over 20 years of experience in providing such a system. It is tailored to align with Japanese systems and business practices. As a SaaS solution, it offers rich functionality and flexibility to accommodate the requirements of individual companies. Another strength lies in its convenience, enabling all expense settlement processes to be completed via a smartphone app.
ASTERIA Warp has held the largest share of the domestic enterprise data integration software market (EAI/ESB*1) for the 16th straight year*2. It enables data integration between cloud services and in-house systems without coding, thereby saving a significant amount of development time compared with API integration.
TIS has adopted ASTERIA Warp as an optional integration feature of Spendia because of its ability to integrate data and master data across peripheral systems such as a core accounting system and a personnel system. By incorporating ASTERIA Warp into its service, TIS will expand the options for linking Spendia with peripheral systems and offer a one-stop support which fits a wide range of customer needs.
Background
Until now, many of TIS customers have had to deal with data integration with a core accounting system and a personnel system, as well as master integration, on their own after introducing the Spendia.
In order to facilitate system linkage, TIS has added an integration option using ASTERIA Warp to make it easier, faster, and cheaper for customers to use Spendia, thereby improving the efficiency of data integration development.
Overview of ASTERIA Warp Data Integration Option Feature
It is an optional integration function that increases development efficiency by using ASTERIA Warp, an EAI/ESB product, to easily set up data conversion, scheduling, etc. without coding.
