"We used a SAP system to record transactions on our purchases. We needed to share a lot of information with suppliers on purchase order quantities, delivery schedules; quantity of supply accepted and rejected reasons for rejections, accounts payable information and more. There were multiple levels of manual intervention for sharing of data with relevant vendors and entering vendor responses back in to the system. The first challenge was determining the enterprise architecture and second choosing a vendor. We evaluated several technologies and vendors after a due diligence process and POC over a periods of 6 months we decided on implementing a SOA, choosing Fiorano to deliver that technology to UB."

"In 2003, we had used Fiorano ESB in a smaller deployment and realized we could easily extend it to the supply chain environment. We liked its open standards, its scalability, and the simple integration possibilities it offered. We see Fiorano ESB as a key component of several future expansions and upgrades."
