STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. 19, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- Intentia International AB (publ) (XSSE:INT B) is pleased to announce that it will introduce its new Movex Collaboration Applications on September 25th. The new collaboration solution opens the doors to the next business revolution and with it Intentia delivers on its vision of the transparent supply chain.
Movex Collaboration Applications (version 12) comprise a completely integrated solution with six principal components that make collaboration a reality for enterprises: Supply Chain Management, Customer Relationship Management, Enterprise Management, Business Performance Measurement, e-Business, and Value Chain Collaboration.
Using the Movex Collaboration Applications, a value chain can realize the next quantum leap in productivity. Intentia calls this the collaborative revolution.
"The next era of business competition will be between value chains, not just between individual companies. The winners of this competition will be collaborative value chains. Through efficiency in their joint processes, collaborative value chains will deliver the best value to their customers," remarks Bjorn Algkvist, CEO of Intentia.
Movex Collaboration Applications provide the members of a value chain with a secure and transparent exchange of information. Our solution goes beyond the products offered by our competitors and builds on the technical leadership Intentia established with its Java platform two years ago.
"This is a massive upgrade with many major enhancements and many completely new products throughout our applications suite. Only a fully integrated suite of applications can provide full transparency of information and that is what our customers will need to collaborate," says Johan Berg, President of Intentia Research & Development.
"We provide a fully integrated suite of products, each competitive in its own right. Our customers decide for themselves when it makes business sense for them to upgrade their value chain integration. With Movex Collaboration Applications, our customers will always be able to keep pace with the increasing demands for integration," adds Johan Berg.
Among the announcements are:
-- Movex e-Collaborator fully harnesses the power of XML and enables
companies to conduct business seamlessly across company borders.
Movex e-Collaborator uses the XML standard to send business
documents efficiently and economically over the Internet. Closer
integration with business partners and streamlined business
processes can significantly reduce costs and increase customer
value.
-- PTX, the Private Trading Exchange connects supply with demand
through a browser, and provides customer service and information
seamlessly connected to the rest of the suite as well as solutions
from other vendors.
-- Movex Global Capable-to-Promise (CTP) is a powerful tool for
supporting a company in the daily order promising process. Movex
Global CTP provides more reliable delivery times by taking all
restricted resources into account and exploring all alternative
supply possibilities.
-- Movex Web Shop B2B collaborates seamlessly with a company's
overall IT environment and is able to use all information (prices,
deliveries, sales, and so on) stored anywhere in its business
system. Movex Web Shop covers the complete collaborative process
between business partners when trading over the Internet, from
online product catalogs, search engines and shopping carts,
through order tracking and invoicing.
-- Supplier Portal provides a standardized way for a company's
suppliers to verify product or service requirements and
information needs through an Internet portal accessible to them.
Supplier Portal can greatly reduce administration costs while
improving information accuracy.
-- Point of Sales Integration begins the value chain by providing
customer demands and purchases in real-time, enabling companies to
act on this information in order to plan future production,
inventory, and logistics needs.
-- Movex Demand Planner (DMP) is a powerful tool for accurately
managing and manipulating demand. It enables a company to decide
how it can best use resources to maximize customer service levels,
sales revenue and profitability.
-- Movex Supply Chain Planner (SCP) is a powerful decision support
tool for supply chain planning on the tactical and strategic
levels. The result of using SCP is a financially optimized master
demand and delivery schedule.
-- Movex Multi-Site Planner (MSP) is a powerful decision support tool
for distribution and production planning. It takes into
consideration material flow constraints from raw materials to
finished products and finite resource capacity in the internal
value chain.
The launch of the Movex Collaboration Applications will take place in Stockholm, Sweden on September 25th and gradually roll out to the rest of the world.
