COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - July 28, 2009) - Sterling Commerce, an AT&T Inc (NYSE : T )
company, has been recognized for the fourth consecutive year as one of the
100 Great Supply Chain Partners by SupplyChainBrain magazine, formerly
known as Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies. Sterling Commerce
offers industry-leading integration solutions and supply chain applications that optimize and transform
customer's business collaboration networks -- the
ecosystem of customers, partners and suppliers with whom companies do
business.
The fact that honorees are nominated by customers makes the 100 Great
Supply Chain Partners list especially prestigious for companies. This
year, SupplyChainBrain received over 2,500 nominations from companies of
all sizes and industries. More than 500 vendors from a wide range of
supply chain areas were nominated, including global third-party logistics
providers and those with very specialized technologies.
"Today's businesses are relying on others to help overcome the challenges
associated with supply chain complexity, which is clearly demonstrated by
the large number of submissions from companies of all sizes across a wide
range of industries," said Brad Berger, publisher of SupplyChainBrain.
"Congratulations to Sterling Commerce for offering solutions that have been
recognized for providing a significant impact on overall supply chain
performance and helping companies address today's challenges."
"Sterling Commerce has demonstrated leadership in integration for over 30
years, recognized by the top research firms for its B2B integration, managed file transfer and
integration-as-a-service solutions," said Richard Douglass, global manufacturing executive at Sterling Commerce. "This award validates the strength in
our wide range of solutions to enable customers to respond faster, more
reliably and more profitably than their competitors -- a key benefit in
today's economy."
Sterling Commerce was named to this year's list as a result of a Sterling Business Integration Suite customer nomination.
Sterling Business Integration Suite is a recently-announced comprehensive
solution that provides seamless and secure business process integration
inside and outside the enterprise. The customer who nominated Sterling
Commerce is using several solutions within the Suite to achieve 100 percent
supplier enablement by quickly on-boarding, expanding and managing a
diverse partner community. By automating traditionally manual-intensive
processes such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and returns, Sterling
Business Integration Suite enables companies to increase productivity while
reducing data errors.
In addition to the Sterling Business Integration Suite, Sterling Commerce
offers a comprehensive set of supply chain applications, the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Suite. The Suite helps
companies sell complex products and services to their customers and
partners through every available touch point. It also helps manage and
control complex supply chains throughout the entire fulfillment lifecycle -- from order management and
delivery, to returns and settlement. Only Sterling Commerce brings
together the power of community, internal and external integration, and
cross-channel applications necessary to effectively address the visibility
and management gaps between manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and
retailers.
