Oracle
Adds Over 30 New Customers During First Quarter
Oracle Corporation, announced that in the first quarter of its fiscal
year 2003 more than 30 new customers selected Oracle Outsourcing
to manage and administer their software. American Industries, Education
Service Center, Original Bradford Soap Works, Raleigh Durham Airport,
S2 Systems, among others, chose to capitalize on the advantages
Oracle Outsourcing provides.
For companies seeking to relieve the challenges of servicing and
maintaining their information technology (IT) investments, Oracle
Outsourcing is an ideal software delivery option. By outsourcing
the performance, security, problem, availability and change management
of Oracle software to Oracle, customers can receive the benefit
of Oracle software faster and with lower cost.
Oracle Outsourcing customers do not have to worry about time-consuming
software upgrades, have access to world-class expertise in e-business
software 7x24x365, and most importantly, can focus their resources
on their core competence and leave Oracle to focus on its core competence
- the creation and management of business software.
American Industries
The implementation of the Oracle E-Business Suite is a critical
project for American Industries, a company that assists manufacturers
of all sizes and stages of technology to begin manufacturing in
Mexico in the shortest possible time.
By providing operational support and expertise, American Industries
has enabled over 70 manufacturers to successfully start manufacturing
in Mexico. Since they provide expertise to other companies, American
Industries understands the outsourcing benefits of being able to
focus on their core competencies, while allowing Oracle to handle
the management of their applications.
"Based on the nature of our business, we firmly believe that
non-core processes that can be performed better by a third party
should be outsourced," said Luis Lara, chief executive officer
for American Industries.
"Oracle E-Business Suite Outsourcing provides a fast way to
jump on the applications bandwagon, eliminating the need for computer
site improvements, hardware acquisition, installation and tuning.
Because of Oracle's core expertise, we believe that we will receive
the best available support with our selection of Oracle E-Business
Suite outsourcing."
Raleigh Durham Airport
With nearly 10 million passengers each year, ensuring that travelers
safely reach their destinations is the priority for Raleigh Durham
Airport. Oracle Outsourcing enables airport employees to focus on
providing travelers with accurate and timely service and eliminates
the responsibility of servicing and maintaining the airport's e-business
platform.
"We chose to outsource the Oracle E-Business Suite because
Oracle Outsourcing offered the Airport the opportunity to continue
to focus on our core competencies without concern over the ability
to hire and retain the staff needed to provide a similar quality
of support and service," said James Gill, deputy airport director,
finance, business and administration for the Raleigh Durham Airport.
"Additionally, our cost/benefit analysis of the services verified
that outsourcing to Oracle would deliver us savings. We specifically
chose Oracle to provide the services because of its expertise with
its own software, proven customer satisfaction, and ability to meet
our needs long term. We have been extremely satisfied with the service
and partnership established between the airport and Oracle and look
forward to a long and successful relationship."
S2 Systems, Inc.
S2 Systems, Inc. selected Oracle E-Business Outsourcing to lower
IT maintenance and administration costs while benefiting from the
features of the latest applications. A leading global provider of
mission-critical enterprise payment and transaction management solutions,
S2 Systems maintains a portfolio of Global 2000 clients and was
impressed with the reliability and "peace of mind" that
Oracle Outsourcing offers.
"We don't have the time or the IT resources to maintain our
own software environment as well as Oracle, and we also need to
be able to assure our clients that our business operates on the
most efficient and reliable technology platform," said Craig
Minyard, chief financial officer for S2 Systems, Inc. "Oracle
Outsourcing assures us and our customers that our applications are
in expert hands, allowing us to focus on the quality of our services
and achieving our business initiatives."
