Emerson to Standardize on Oracle(R) E-Business SuiteOracle E-Business Suite and Oracle9i Database to Serve as Global IT Platform to Enable Emerson to Increase Efficiencies and Reduce CostsREDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ( http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?1489333 ) Oracle Corporation (Nasdaq: ORCL - News), the world's largest enterprise software company, today announced that Emerson (NYSE: EMR - News), a global leader in technology and engineering solutions and services, has selected the Oracle® E-Business Suite to simplify and transform its internal business processes globally. Emerson is taking steps to standardize its business units on the Oracle E-Business Suite by phasing out dozens of disparate, stand-alone enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools over time. "The Oracle E-Business Suite delivers highly integrated applications that will help increase our operational efficiencies and improve the response time to our customers," said Greg Carmichael, vice president and Chief Information Officer for Emerson. "The Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle9i Database is an important element in Emerson's ongoing efforts to improve integration with our customers, lower the total cost of our information technology ownership, and increase overall productivity." After a competitive selection process, Emerson selected Oracle because of its integrated e-business offering, Web-based architecture, and global application support model. Emerson is implementing the Oracle E-Business Suite in conjunction with Oracle9i Database to help manage its multi-industry, multi-organizational operations and provide each of its divisions with the ability to leverage the integrated strengths of the Oracle E-Business Suite. "Best-of-breed solutions combined with home-grown legacy systems were not providing the seamless integration, architectural stability or cost savings we required," added Carmichael. "Today we operate multiple division data centers, running various business systems around the world. Oracle is helping us meet the expectations of our customers, improve integration with our suppliers, and support the operating environments of our divisions with a common platform." Oracle's ability to provide every member of Emerson's global organization with access to accurate business intelligence from anywhere in the world at anytime will equip Emerson with the ability to make better-informed decisions in a timely manner. In addition, Oracle's strong portal technologies and inherent product integration across ERP, supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications will provide Emerson with the flexibility and security necessary to support the complex business processes in each of its 60-plus divisions and global operations.
