MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1999--
Together Companies Deliver Unique Sales
Engineering Automation Solution for Engineer-to-Order
and Make-to-Order Companies using SAP R/3
IntelliCorp (Nasdaq:INAI), a leading provider of ERP lifecycle management products and services, today announced a strategic relationship with DSC Software AG. The two companies have joined to deliver IntelliCorp's new Sales Engineering Automation (SEA) solution.
The SEA solution combines IntelliCorp's CRM consulting expertise with DSC Software AG's powerful CADagent product. IntelliCorp will be a value-added reseller of CADagent. The distribution agreement gives IntelliCorp the right to distribute CADagent in North America, France, the United Kingdom and to any current or future IntelliCorp client worldwide.
DSC's CADagent links CAD elements to both data and structures within SAP R/3. It enables users to specify product configurations with an interactive graphical interface while continually accessing important logistical and functional information.
Designed for companies with engineer-to-order and make-to-order products, IntelliCorp's SEA solution accelerates product inquiry, quotation, order entry and order fulfillment through better integration of front and back office applications, and automation of related sales and engineering processes. (See IntelliCorp release dated October 28, 1999 for additional details) According to Joachim Roeder, CEO of DSC Software AG, "Implementing a SEA solution for an SAP based manufacturer requires expertise in R/3, the supply chain, business process management, sales configuration, the internet, CRM, systems integration, and CAD engineering systems. We chose IntelliCorp as a partner for our CADagent products, because they are uniquely qualified to provide the services needed to make a SEA project successful."
Added Marcus Behrens, Director CRM Product Management, IntelliCorp, "Combining DSC Software AG's proven capabilities with IntelliCorp's applied expertise, we can streamline sales cycles for companies with highly complex and configurable products using CAD tools in the front-office and SAP in the back-office. Together we can help these companies maximize their R/3 ROI."
