Solutions

Oracle Product and Services

  • Worked with Oracle Partner Bertini do Brasil to implement Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Database, Standard Edition on Oracle Linux in six months, creating an infrastructure for standardized business practices when the company opened manufacturing operations in Brazil
  • Ensured that the group’s subsidiaries in Brazil, the United States, and China used Oracle E-Business Suite for consistent costing and production processes to enable performance comparisons and facilitate strategic decision-making
  • Achieved an efficient and flexible purchasing process—a very important strategic advantage for the company, since each piece of machinery it manufactures has at least 80,000 components
