Background
TOKAI COM’s JFT/SaaS cloud-based EDI data exchange service, which supports various communication
protocols and cloud services, has been being used by customers from a diverse range of industries, including
manufacturing, distribution, and finance. In May 2016, TOKAI COM started offering the JFT/SaaS integration
adapter designed to facilitate a connection between JFT/SaaS and Infoteria’s ASTERIA WARP as part of its

efforts to enhance linkage between services offered by the two companies.
The ASTERIA WARP Core, which was added to the ASTERIA series in October 2016, comes with carefully
selected basic functions and boasts excellent cost performance, making it easy to implement even for smallsystems.
The data integration option, an extension service for CPS-VM that comes standard with the ASTERIA WARPCore, will enable customers to easily implement the service at a low cost without the need to install an operating
environment for the ASTERIA WARP Core on their own.
By combining the CPS-VM data integration option and the JFT/SaaS, TOKAI COM can offer functions that
perform a series of processes, from integrating data on internal systems to exchanging data among multiple
corporations via the JFT/SaaS, all on its cloud service. Since cloud computing provides resources on demand on apay-for-use basis, customers can take advantage of this feature to start small and easily computerize operations
that have not yet been computerized, such as editing of internal data, processes that are dependent on individualskills, and data exchanges with their clients via EDI, thereby improving and automating operations. Infoteria aims
to leverage its collaboration with TOKAI COM to market the ASTERIA WARP Core to a wider range ofcorporations and bring in more orders.
Overview of the Data Integration Option
The CPS-VM that comes standard with the ASTERIA WARP Core pre-installed is offered as an extension service
for CPS-VM along with a support service. By subscribing to CPS-VM, customers can start using the ASTERIAWARP Core without making any additional capital investment.

The Road Ahead
