Dial Corporation Selects SeeBeyond
Leading CPG Manufacturer To Connect to UCCnet With Comprehensive, Unified Integration Suite From SeeBeyond
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 12, 2002--SeeBeyond (Nasdaq:SBYN - news), the leading global provider of eBusiness and Application Integration (eAI) solutions, today announced that The Dial Corporation (NYSE:DL - news) has selected SeeBeyond to provide the technology platform to enable the seamless flow of information across Dial and its customer base. Through implementation of the comprehensive, unified integration platform from SeeBeyond, Dial will initially connect to UCCnet®, a not-for-profit subsidiary of the Uniform Code Council that provides data synchronization and item registry services based on industry developed standards.
As one of America's leading manufacturers of consumer products, The Dial Corporation is continuously expanding its core business with new products. Dial recognized that a highly scaleable integration backbone that will enable enterprise-wide integration as well as connectivity with trading partners was necessary to support its growth while increasing efficiencies across its supply chain. With leading retail partners moving quickly to integrate UCCnet services within their supply chain communities, Dial has made its own connectivity with UCCnet an initial priority toward facilitating the development of these relationships.
``As a growing company focused on continuous innovation, our goal is now on driving efficiencies through cost management, process management and automation,'' said Daron Binkley, Director, E-Business for Dial Corporation. ``Standardizing on SeeBeyond for connectivity to our customers through UCCnet, as well as internal business process optimization, will enable Dial to fuel our growth, while maintaining a leadership position in the consumer packaged goods marketspace.''
As a preferred solutions partner for UCCnet, SeeBeyond will provide Dial with the ability to directly link inventory, data management, item management and order tracking systems via the Internet to the UCCnet community, which includes many of the world's largest retailers. As an integration platform for connecting to UCCnet, the SeeBeyond(TM) Business Integration Suite provides the ability to access real-time product updates and changes to trading partner profiles, which are vital to an efficient supply chain. These capabilities will allow companies such as Dial to rapidly and seamlessly integrate to the community, providing opportunities to measure performance, and improve processes, thereby eliminating inefficiencies while driving down cost.
``With SeeBeyond's comprehensive, unified integration platform, Dial will benefit from the seamless flow of information through automated application integration, dynamic trading partner connectivity and robust business processes optimization (BPM),'' said Jim Demetriades, founder and CEO of SeeBeyond. ``As one of America's leading consumer packaged goods manufacturers, this selection by The Dial Corporation underscores our momentum in the CPG space and further validates SeeBeyond's leadership in offering superior integration solutions to leading organizations worldwide.''
Dial chose SeeBeyond after an evaluation of the eAI (eBusiness and Application Integration) space. Key elements of the evaluation included an appropriate fit for Dial's technology direction, comprehensive architecture, openness and ability to scale.
