New Release of Infor SupplyWEB Improves Supply Chain Efficiencies and Functionality
Advanced version of supply-chain management software offers open platform and global access
Northville, Mich., - (February 21, 2005) - Infor Global Solutions, a leading provider of enterprise business solutions to the manufacturing and distribution industries, today announced the latest release of Infor SupplyWEB, an open-platform product for supply-chain management that gives users access to their supply chains from anywhere in the world. Today, over 20,000 automotive suppliers use Infor SupplyWEB to manage their supply chains.
This latest release of Infor SupplyWEB marks the debut of the next evolutionary step in flexibility, scalability and functionality for supply-chain management solutions, providing a complete view of a company's supply chain across the globe.
Features of the newest version of the widely adopted Infor SupplyWEB solution include these benefits:
· Infor SupplyWEB allows participating partners within the supply chain to view, collaborate and share key value-added information, use exception-based alerting for key or unexpected events, and track supplier metrics and performance.
· It supports the overall operational improvements of companies by helping reduce inventory, premium shipments, inventory stock-outs, quality defects and EDI communication costs while at the same time driving facilities to "lean" processes and pull-based replenishment strategies.
· Infor SupplyWEB is a global enterprise solution that accommodates 14 different languages, standard times zones, user preferences and other variables.
"We are proud to offer this important evolutionary development in supply-chain management to companies across the world," said Robin Pederson, senior vice president and general manager of Infor Discrete Group. "With its open platform, scalability and worldwide access, we expect that Infor SupplyWEB will bring significant new efficiencies and functionality to manufacturers who are growing in their global reach."
Because Infor SupplyWEB is modular, it improves system scalability, flexibility and performance. It also facilitates faster development cycles, offering a quick response to the customer's changing requirements.
Infor SupplyWEB uses a three-tiered framework for user interface, application service and database management. By separating the layers, code modifications are more controlled and can be completed in shorter time frames, and overall solutions become more flexible to implement. It is a thin-client application with access available through a standard browser and is available in a hosted or enterprise environment.
Infor SupplyWEB minimizes complexity and system requirements and provides access to a state-of-the-art system for users from any location in any country.
