Taiwanese Automotive Manufacturer Selects Oracle(R) Applications

   Chooses Oracle Solution Over Baan, SAP to Make Better Business Decisions

    REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 14 -- Oracle Taiwan Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle Corp. , today announced it is
working with Yulon Motors Co. Ltd., the largest automotive manufacturer in
Taiwan, to create a new enterprise resources planning (ERP) system for the
company.  Oracle was chosen in a competitive bid over Baan, QAD and SAP for
its automotive expertise and perceived ability to help Yulon make better
business decisions.
    "Our key objective in building Yulon's new generation ERP system is to
increase Yulon's agility in the increasingly competitive automotive market,
and to reduce inventory and operations costs," said Jessica Jiang, Oracle
Greater China Application Technical Director.  "Using the real-time
information from Oracle Applications, Yulon can make accurate, quick decisions
and create that competitive advantage it needs."
    The Yulon ERP system, which will be implemented by Oracle Taiwan, includes
Oracle Master Scheduling/MPR, Oracle Inventory Control, Oracle Bill of
Materials, and Oracle Production Configurator.  All will be configured to
interface with Yulon' existing legacy systems.
    "Oracle Applications were previously selected in a competitive win against
SAP, BAAN, and QAD after a year-long evaluation, and was chosen with future
expansion and continuous improvement of processes in mind," said Y.C. Li,
managing director of Oracle Taiwan.  "We plan to work closely with Oracle's
auto industry consultants, local software partners, and Yulon's employees to
complete implementation of this project by fall 1998."

information management and the world's second largest software company.  With
