PRESS RELEASE

 

INFOR ENHANCES SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANaGEMENT SOLUTION

FOR AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS

 

New Version of Infor SRM SupplyWeb Improves Collaboration with Suppliers;
Streamlines Order Processing 

 

ATLANTA - January 16, 2007 - Infor, one of the largest global providers of
enterprise software, today announced the latest release of Infor SRM
SupplyWeb, the leading supplier relationship management (SRM) solution in
the automotive industry. Infor SRM SupplyWeb version 10 includes new
features to improve collaboration between customers and suppliers, providing
new tools designed to enhance data accuracy, and demand and order
management.

            SupplyWeb offers manufacturers the benefits of a proven SRM
solution that is easily integrated into their enterprise resource planning
(ERP) system. For customers, this new version of SupplyWeb demonstrates
Infor's commitment to enrich the value of their current investments, extend
their core ERP applications with new business-specific solutions and evolve
the Infor product line to produce next-generation solutions.  

            "Infor is committed to providing value to SupplyWeb customers,
an install-base that is over 25,000 implementations," said Kevin Piotrowski,
Infor's director of industry and product marketing for Automotive.  "This
new version combines information from multiple ERP solutions, giving
organizations a single face to their suppliers which enables rapid demand
fulfillment and performance evaluation."

            SupplyWeb version 10 significantly strengthens the relationship
between suppliers in the supply chain with the addition of new modules,
Production Invoicing and Purchase Order Collaboration, which automate
specific business functions related to order processing.

            Production Invoicing improves data accuracy between customers
and suppliers, eliminates discrepancies in pricing and payables and allows
for

more timely payments from the customer.  Customers can accept or reject
invoices sent by their supplier, sending these 

approved invoices back to the ERP system for payment. This improves the
accuracy of payables and reduces the amount of time spent on manual
activities such as entering faxed or emailed data. 

            Purchase Order Collaboration facilitates a purchase order
negotiation process, allowing customers and suppliers to set terms before
committing to an order.  As proposed Purchase Orders (PO) move through the
process, customers and suppliers have complete visibility into their status
via a color-coded report that indicates orders awaiting action and those
that are past due.  Configurable settings allow customers complete control
over PO negotiation, scheduling, approval and fulfillment.

            Additionally, SRM SupplyWeb version10 includes built-in
functional enhancements such as:

*	Supplier Cumulative Quality Management (CUM) - tracks demand
fulfillment from schedule to schedule to accommodate out of order shipping
and receiving 
*	Flex Fields - expand business-specific data to include shippers,
billing, work orders and problem reporting documents 
*	Receipt Reconciliation - ties receipts to SupplyWeb Advanced
Shipment 

Notices (ASN), ensuring shipments are properly moved to a "received" status
within SupplyWeb
