PALO ALTO: TIBCO Software Inc has announced that it has been selected by one of the largest electronics manufacturing services companies, Elcoteq, to provide an end-to-end integration framework, designed to increase the efficiency of its entire supply chain.
"We undertook a thorough market evaluation when deciding which integration vendor we should select for this project, including reviews of company financials and interviews with the key industry analysts," said Panu Kaila, senior vice president D/SCM&IM for Elcoteq. "Following our due diligence process, we concluded that TIBCO's integration framework would be the best solution to increase efficiency across our entire supply chain."
TIBCO's technology will allow Elcoteq to automate its supply chain processes by creating an integrated network to include design, production and delivery of communications technology products.
Due to an increasing demand for efficient business processes, Elcoteq is currently in the process of executing a number of major integration initiatives, for example in the area of Advanced Planning System (APS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems. TIBCO's solution will enable seamless and manageable integration between these existing internal disparate business systems, and will also be used for RosettaNet's open e-business process standards.
The expected business benefits will consist of streamlined transactions with partners and customers, increased collaboration processes and enhanced report management. TIBCO's enterprise integration solution will also help Elcoteq improve monitoring capabilities, decrease error handling and increase control of the migration from development to test and production.
"Elcoteq understands the importance of conducting business in real-time," said Chris Larsen, executive vice president, Global Sales, TIBCO Software Inc. "TIBCO is helping Elcoteq create a fully integrated, end-to-end architecture, making all mission-critical data easily available for customers, partners and suppliers."
