manufacturer of cutting tools based in East Longmeadow, Mass., American Saw markets and sells its products in 75
countries worldwide. After conducting a complete assessment of its business infrastructure and business process needs,
American Saw chose Oracle Financial and Manufacturing Applications because of the unique just-in-time manufacturing capabilities provided by the Flow Manufacturing module.
To build the best IT infrastructure to support the Oracle Applications and to pave the way for future e-commerce initiatives,American Saw chose Sun servers and storage devices over all major competitive platforms for their scalability and robustnetwork computing capabilities.
"We purchased Oracle, and then my challenge was to create an infrastructure capable of supporting that,'' said CIO
Shawn Knox.
"The first question I asked was, 'What does Oracle develop on?'
The answer is Sun.
When I asked what the number-one installed base was for companies running Oracle Manufacturing.,
It's Sun.
When we started looking at the capabilities of Sun's integrators and the scalability of the environments -- and what we were looking to accomplish in terms of high availability -- Sun was resoundingly the direction to go in." |
