WMS*Yantra's Warehouse Management System Completes Integration with Oracle Applications Release 11; Ongoing Commitment to Approval Delivers Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
HONOLULU--Oct. 26, 1998--Yantra Corporation, which develops and markets software products for supply-chain execution, today announced the integration of its WMS*Yantra(TM) solution with the Oracle(R) Applications Release 11. WMS*Yantra is a supply chain execution solution that integrates warehouse and transportation best practices for companies with complex pick-pack-ship operations. WMS*Yantra has been integrated with four core modules of Oracle(R) Manufacturing, a part of the Oracle Applications suite. These modules are Oracle Order-Entry, Oracle Inventory, Oracle WIP and Oracle Purchasing.
"Oracle and Yantra have the common goal of reducing the Total Cost of Ownership for our customers through the approved integration of our respective packages", said John Hall, Oracle's Senior Vice-President of Worldwide Alliances. "This reduces implementation complexity, timeframes and cost, helping to enhance the overall customer value proposition."
"Yantra was the first vendor in the CAI program to achieve integration approval from Oracle for Applications Release 10.7. And, it has likewise become the first warehouse management CAI partner to complete their integration with Oracle Applications Release 11.0," commented Prakash Balebail, Oracle's Director of the Cooperative Applications Initiative. "As an Oracle Partner Program member committed to delivering the latest technology and functionality to our shared customers, Yantra plays a key role in helping define and test several new Oracle Applications APIs."
"We continue to invest heavily in our Oracle Alliance relationship because the relationship produces results on all fronts - sales, implementation and R&D," stated Devdutt Yellurkar, Yantra's President and CEO. "Together, this multi-faceted business relationship delivers the most important of business results - on-time, within budget implementation of WMS*Yantra with Oracle Applications, and satisfied customers like Honeywell Consumer Products."
Release 11 of Oracle Applications advances the state of the art with numerous industry firsts across the manufacturing & supply chain, financials, human resources, and front office families. Offering information relevant to both senior executives and line managers through the all-new Business Intelligence System, Release 11 enables companies to respond far more quickly to changing business conditions.
