Visiprise Manufacturing Now an SAP-Endorsed Business Solution

Visiprise solution included on the SAP(R) Solution Map

ATLANTA, Jan. 11 -- Visiprise, Inc., a leader in integrated manufacturing operations solutions and a "Powered by SAP NetWeaver(R)" partner, today announced that its Visiprise Manufacturing solution is now an SAP-Endorsed Business Solution. Visiprise previously executed a software development cooperation agreement that was a catalyst for SAP to endorse Visiprise Manufacturing, after joint development was completed.

The endorsement builds on Visiprise's already successful business relationship with SAP. As part of the agreement both Visiprise and SAP will provide development resources, exchange and share technology and product roadmaps, promote and sell the jointly-developed manufacturing operation solution in concert, and ensure that customers are able to continue to utilize the solutions when either company releases updated versions of their software.

The Visiprise Manufacturing solution offers complex discrete manufacturers tight integration of the manufacturing shop floor to the entire enterprise. This gives customers global visibility into manufacturing operations to collect and communicate real-time manufacturing information to the entire enterprise for a continuous loop in the product lifecycle. This results in manufacturing high-quality products with complete control of the manufacturing process.

"SAP's endorsement of Visiprise will allow both companies to leverage each other's strong industry knowledge to effectively support, develop, and commercialize integration content and technologies," said Carter Johnson, senior vice president of corporate development for Visiprise. "This will result in customer solutions that fully utilize the powerful capabilities of both organizations."

One output of the agreement is a package that streamlines integration between Visiprise and SAP applications, employs both companies' long-term plans and technological visions, and creates industry-specific integration content in collaboration with a joint customer base. The solution is based upon SAP xAPP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence, or xMII. The first release is planned in early 2007.

"This endorsement from SAP continues to build on the successes SAP and Visiprise have enjoyed over the last years," said Frank Schuler, vice president of solution management manufacturing at SAP. "Using the power of both applications in a tightly integrated fashion ensures our customers are able to benefit from deep manufacturing operations visibility across the entire enterprise."
