Manufacturing is a very complex and capital intensive industry. Multiple plants, numerous departments, processes, products and markets, distributed supply chain network and associated transactions span a manufacturing business. To remain competitive and tackle the challenge of eroding profit margins, companies must continuously reduce costs and inventory, improve quality and service and shorten cycle times.

To attain operational efficiencies, manufacturing companies around the world have made huge IT investments and created islands of information systems resulting in a corporate information puzzle. Such islands restrict the flow of information across their organization thus failing to provide a real time and complete view of business data. What is required is a solution to integrate these myriad applications, systems and databases, to facilitate efficient and effective information flow.
