Infosys Codevelops Price Protection Application for Oracle E-Business SuiteOracle Certified Advantage Partner Infosys Technologies and Oracle have codeveloped Oracle Price Protection. This new application for high technology distributors, available from Oracle, automates price protection transactional processes and streamlines overall pricing, promotions, and product discount management. Oracle Price Protection automatically updates, aggregates, and provides access to a distributor’s purchasing, inventory, costing, and financial information. This enables distributors to reduce errors during price claims execution, speed settlements, and mitigate future discrepancies. The new application works with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1, leverages Oracle Fusion Middleware, and integrates with existing enterprise resource planning systems.
