Application Description Manugistics and Sun's
Collaborative Planning solution provides the visibility, event
monitoring, collaborative planning, and business process
optimization capabilities you and your trading partners need to
more effectively balance supply with demand. Manugistics and Sun's
Collaborative Planning solution serves as a central connectivity
point where OEMs, suppliers, contract manufacturers and customers
can come together to share time-phased materials requirements and
other critical information using predefined data and process
standards. Optimized demand and supply plans, along with
commitments, orders, and shipments can all be shared quickly across
multiple tiers of your extended supply chain. The result:
reduced inventory levels across your supply chain
enhanced revenues through improved supply and product
availability
improved productivity through event management
improved responsiveness to changes in supply and/or demand
minimized operating costs through improved visibility of supply
chain glitches
strengthened business relationships with your key suppliers and
customers
Integration with Java System Application Server (formerly Sun
ONE Application Server)
The Manugistics WebWORKS Architecture has been entirely based upon
J2EE standards for many years. Since the Java System Application
Server is a certified J2EE platform Manugistics applications
seamlessly deploy and scale on the Sun platform.
Benefit to customers
When a customer selects Sun as their strategic hardware and
middleware vendor, they benefit from an integrated solution,
reducing TCO with fewer vendors involved.
