Leading Test and Monitoring Solutions Provider Goes Live With Oracle E-Business Suite OnlineOnline Financials, Order Management and Inventory Application Services Enable Empirix to Cut Costs, Improve Efficiencies and Expand the BusinessREDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Sept. 6 / -- ( http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?884807 ) Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL - news), the largest provider of software for e-business, today announced that Empirix, provider of innovative products and services that ensure the performance and reliability of Web and voice applications and infrastructure, is using the Oracle E-Business Suite Online to simplify and transform its business processes. The Oracle E- Business Suite Online is part of Oracle.com, Oracle's online service business. The online Oracle Financials, Order Management, Inventory and Purchasing went live in 87 days with Oracle Bills of Material, Work in Process and Engineering going live in 82 days. By choosing to have the Oracle E-Business Suite delivered as an online service, Empirix has been able to reduce costs, streamline global business processes and improve operational efficiencies.``By using Oracle, we're able to take advantage of the latest technology and lower our information technology costs at the same time. In fact, seven months later, the Oracle system has already paid for itself,'' said Brenda Boyle, senior project manager for Empirix. ``Because we're in the business of testing and monitoring online applications, we're particularly sensitive to the reliability, scalability and performance of our internal business systems. Over the years, we've tested thousands of applications that use Oracle technology, including several web-based enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management solutions, so we were immediately confident in the reliability and scalability of their technology. Additionally, Oracle.com online services have met our expectations in every respect, and freed us to focus externally on serving our customers.'' Empirix is the leading source for test and monitoring solutions that measure end-to-end quality of experience for Web and voice applications, contact centers and communications networks. The company offers scalable, powerful testing products and services that reduce costs, shorten deployment time, enhance performance and strengthen revenue streams across communications channels. Empirix currently delivers product, services and support to 2,000 customers worldwide, including American Express, Bank of America, British Telecom and Cisco. As a spin-off from Teradyne, the world's largest supplier of automatic test equipment, Empirix inherited several disparate financial, order entry and PC-based inventory software systems. The company decided to replace them with one, integrated system to cut costs, increase efficiencies and standardize operations. Not only has Empirix realized these benefits, but it has also Web-enabled its systems and standardized processes across its worldwide network of regional offices. This makes it easier for Empirix to operate its business globally. Thanks to the scalability of their Oracle applications, Empirix also knows that their system can support future growth. Empirix selected the Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle's online services because they wanted to take advantage of the latest technology, to web-enable their business processes-and because they wanted to have the system implemented in less than 90 days. With the help of Oracle Consulting, which used the over-the-wire E-Consulting approach to rapid implementations, Empirix was able to deploy the Oracle system on time and on budget. ``The scope and timetable for this project was so aggressive that many of our managers doubted our sanity,'' added Boyle. ``But, we made believers out of them when we came in on time and on budget-and with all of the capabilities that we'd promised them from the beginning.''
