auxilium Announces New Automotive Industry Solution Center
MENDOTA HEIGHTS, Minn.--Jan. 20, 1999--New Business Group Will Focus On Enterprise Application Integration
(EAI) Software Solutions For Automobile Manufacturers
and First-Tier Suppliers
auxilium inc., a leading supplier of packaged, web-based Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) software, today announced it will open an automotive industry solution center, along with the formation of a new business unit, the Automotive Business Group, dedicated to providing application software integration solutions for automobile manufacturers and their first-tier suppliers.
The Automotive Industry Solution Center, to be located in auxilium's Pontiac, Michigan, Technology Center, is designed as a multi-functional program office where auxilium's developers, sales professionals, and business partners can showcase enterprise software solutions specific to the needs of the automotive industry. Visitors to the facility will experience simulations of automotive industry manufacturing software and business models, in an environment that will allow them to "test drive" the appropriate application solution packages that meet their business needs.
According to Michael Ducatelli, vice president of sales and acting general manager of the new business unit, "The formation of our new Automotive Business Group and Automotive Business Solution Center underscores auxilium's commitment to bring unique and innovative approaches to serving the highly competitive automotive marketplace. We expect the Automotive Industry Solution Center to be well received by customers across the entire automotive supply chain, from suppliers to OEMs."
auxilium's Info-Engine(R) software suite is already installed at numerous sites of the Big 3 auto manufacturers. auxilium is the leading provider of EAI solutions to the automotive industry, with almost 30,000 seats (software licenses) currently under contract. auxilium's Info-Engine software was developed to integrate enterprise applications, linking manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, planning, suppliers and customers in an easy-to-implement and easy-to-use environment. In contrast to alternative 'Middleware' approaches to application integration, Info-Engine offers a solution that doesn't require hard-coded application-to-application integration. Info-Engine's web-enabled approach allows for easy development, rapid deployment, and requires little or no training.
auxilium inc. is a leading supplier of packaged EAI software for manufacturing organizations providing connectivity between engineering, planning, manufacturing, purchasing, suppliers, and customers. auxilium's Info-Engine web-enabled application suite leverages the power and flexibility of web technology for scalable, extended-enterprise solutions integrating people, information, and processes for business impact.
