Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/21/2010 -- Ultriva achieved Oracle Validated Integration of CEK 6.4 with the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 using Oracle SOA Suite, a key component of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Ultriva provides software solutions to optimize and automate material and information flow processes across the value chain by removing waste using lean principles.

The Ultriva solution includes a suite of modules – Supplier Kanban, Schedule Based Replenishment (SBR), Internal Kanban, Lean Production, OEE and Customer Kanban. These modules are implemented as collaborative portals either hosted on-demand or on customer premise. One of the key benefits of the portal is planners, buyers, material handlers, suppliers and supply chain managers can access the application using just a web browser to get real time inventory status, visibility into their materials flow and metrics for continuous improvement.

"Oracle SOA Suite is a very flexible way to interface Ultriva application suite to the Oracle E-Business Suite," says Narayan Laksham, CEO of Ultriva. "Ultriva is built on a SaaS model and Oracle SOA Suite allows for seamless integration of key business processes like Purchasing and material replenishment."

A key part of this validation allows the Ultriva solution to interface with the Oracle E-Business Suite for standard and blanket Purchase Orders, as well as the closing of Purchase Orders through goods receipt transactions. A consumption scan in Ultriva can generate a P.O. in Oracle and a receipt scan will generate a P.O. Receipt.

"The Oracle Validated Integration applies a rigorous technical review and test process," said Kevin O'Brien, Senior Director, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle. "Achieving Oracle Validated Integration through the Oracle PartnerNetwork gives our customers confidence that the integration between the Ultriva CEK solution and the Oracle E-Business Suite has been validated and that the products work together as designed. This reduces risk and improves the implementation cycles for our joint customers."

Ultriva is already in use at leading manufacturing companies like AGCO, Emerson, McKesson, Owens Corning, Rexnord, Thermo Fisher and Trane.

Ultriva is a Gold level member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
