SupplyWorks Brings Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) to J.D. Edwards ERP Customers Pre-packaged integration to World™ and OneWorld™ enables manufacturers to leverage their ERP investments and rapidly deploy complete SRM functionality BEDFORD, Mass, 06/17/02 — SupplyWorks, Inc., the leader in Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) software for discrete manufacturers, today announced the immediate availability of a pre-packaged integration module designed to provide a seamless data interface with J.D. Edwards ERP installations. Supporting both World and OneWorld, the new offering will speed integrated deployments of SupplyWorks' SRM solutions at sites running J.D. Edwards products, protecting customers' past investments while enabling them to take advantage of SupplyWorks' powerful SRM capabilities and achieve rapid time-to-value. SupplyWorks® MAX™, SupplyWorks' ground-breaking SRM product, can drive dramatic operational improvements and cost reductions for J.D. Edwards customers, by complementing their ERP investment with a full suite of tools for managing their direct material costs. SupplyWorks MAX streamlines the full range of direct procurement business processes, from controlling the flow of materials into the plant all the way through to strategic sourcing and strategic management of the supply base. SupplyWorks MAX empowers production buyers, planners, and commodity managers to effectively work hand-in-hand with suppliers to optimize the supply chain and continuously reduce costs, and to measure and evaluate the results. "Our customers see SupplyWorks MAX SRM as a key part of their initiatives to drive down costs and enhance competitiveness," said Jeff Herrmann, president and CEO of SupplyWorks. "While cost reduction is essential, they are also focused on improving operational execution by synchronizing scheduling and deliveries to run as lean as possible yet minimize shortages and maximize supplier efficiency." "ERP systems simply do not provide the tools to support procurement professionals in accomplishing these goals," Herrmann added. "SRM solutions like SupplyWorks MAX, rapidly deployed and integrated with ERP, fill the gap." The newly announced integration module for J.D. Edwards ERP is a pre-packaged and completely architected solution that greatly simplifies two-way data integration of SupplyWorks MAX with both World and OneWorld installations. It has already been proven in operational field use. "In releasing this new capability, SupplyWorks is bringing the power of the leading SRM solution to J.D. Edwards customers today," said Herrmann. "They can immediately build on their ERP investment and tap into the next major operational and cost savings opportunity without re-architecting their ERP foundation." SupplyWorks MAX and the new J.D. Edwards integration module are available immediately and are already being deployed at established SupplyWorks customers in the high-tech, automotive and industrial sectors.
