LGE, Mexicana de Aviacion, Roamfree and Xsigo Systems Among Customers Having Success with Global Release
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.   27-JUN-2007 05:00 AM    Following the release of its new global business release in January 2007, Oracle today announced strong customer momentum for Oracle(r) E-Business Suite Release 12. Since the announcement, Oracle has added more than 300 new Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 customers worldwide. Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 global customers include: LGE, Alticor, Beijing Cuohua Electrical Power Limited, Coega, Mexicana de Aviacion, MortgageSA, Pace, Suburban Bus Service of the Regional Transportation Authority, Roamfree, Vaisala, Vanke Enterprise Company Limited and Xsigo.

The latest version of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 enables customers to think globally to make better decisions, work globally to be more competitive and manage globally to help lower costs and increase performance. As a key part of Oracle Applications, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 allows companies to have a single, global view of customers, suppliers, partner and operations to give companies the ability to make more informed decisions. Customers can increase revenue by using Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 to help make decisions based on complete information from systems that span regions and divisions.

Xsigo Systems
Xsigo Systems is a Sunnyvale, California-based maker of datacenter infrastructure solutions that help dramatically reduce the capital and operational costs of server connectivity. Implemented by Navisite, a Certified Advantage Partner in the Oracle Partner Network, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 gives Xsigo the ability to keep up with rapid growth and consolidate their ERP system into a single, global instance. Xsigo went live in May 2007 with 30+ modules and became the first Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 live customer in production in North America.

"Xsigo Systems is a dynamic technology company with huge opportunity for rapid growth. We needed an ERP system that would be sufficiently manageable to implement at an early stage, but would also scale to support our development into a global enterprise," said Xsigo Systems Vice President of Finance Rick Fabiano. "After careful consideration of many systems, Oracle E-Business Suite was clearly the best choice and this was matched by outstanding sales and technical support throughout the selection process."

Mexicana de Aviacion
Founded more than 85 years ago, Mexicana de Aviacion is the fourth oldest airline in the world. Today, it is leader in transportation between Mexico and the United States, and has the greatest international coverage in Mexico. Using the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, Mexicana has leveraged industry best practices that enable users to view real time, accurate and relevant information for better decision-making within the organization.

"The company is undertaking a major process to maximize revenue, increase customer satisfaction and lower operational costs," said Mexicana Airlines Chief Information Officer Santiago Ontanon. "To achieve these goals, Mexicana selected Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 for its out-of-the-box application with industry best practices procedures, and high availability and scalability standards. Mexicana considers Oracle a strategic partner in this turnaround endeavor."

MortgageSA
MortgageSA pioneered home loan origination in South Africa and today is the country's leading home loan facilitator; placing one in every five homebuyers into their new homes. MortgageSA provides a turn-key solution from property search including financing the purchase and obtaining insurance coverage. Having sourced one hundred billion rands worth of home finance, MortgageSA is the only full service originator in SA with a countrywide network of over 500 sales staff and is the exclusive home loan originator to over 17,500 affiliated estate agents and more than 6,900 realtor offices throughout Southern Africa. MortgageSA's vision is to create the ultimate home-ownership experience by delivering convenient, value added home-related products and services. MortgageSA wanted to leverage the latest Oracle technology and by choosing the Oracle E-Business Suite they are better able to simplify technical infrastructure, create the foundation of the single view of the enterprise and provide improved functionality to the users.

"We are in the process of implementing Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 as a part of our roadmap to Oracle Fusion Applications," said MortgageSA Manager: Strategic Business Enablement, Stan Belikoff. "MortgageSA invested in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 which provides a solid platform to implement our customer management program. This release improves the ability to leverage the latest Oracle technologies including Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Grid."

Roamfree
Roamfree.com is a privately-held online global accommodation search company, that offers an array of accommodation booking solutions. As the first Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 customer to go live, Roamfree deployed Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 in four months, and used the application suite to set up banking arrangements in 26 countries and automate 26 business processes around payables. There are many rules around trust accounting driven by departure date for Roamfree customers so automation is key to this process.

"Our company vision and supporting business model is unique and enabling technology is core to our competitive edge. We see ourselves as both a tourism and technology company delivering accommodation solutions that will drive efficiencies within the industry world-wide, so our underlying systems have to reflect this. Additionally, time-to-market was of great significance for us," said Adrian Van Vliet, Chief Information Officer at Roamfree Ltd. "The Oracle solution was right for our strategic and commercial aims."

Customers looking for more information on the business value of upgrading their Oracle Applications are encouraged to attend a live webcast on June 27th at 8:00 AM PT. Oracle Senior Vice President Cliff Godwin will discuss the innovations built into the new releases of the Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle's PeopleSoft, Siebel, JD Edwards Enterprise One and JD Edwards World.
