Leading manufacturing companies are choosing solutions from PeopleSoft, Inc. to run their operations. During the second
quarter of 1998, PeopleSoft signed 28 manufacturers including Eagle Family Foods Incorporated, Borden Foods, National
Steel Corporation, Pfizer Central Research and Silicon Graphics Incorporated.
"PeopleSoft's rapid expansion in manufacturing demonstrates that companies are looking for a complete enterprise solution,
including both transactional and strategic planning capabilities," said Jeff Carr, vice president and general manager, PeopleSoft
Manufacturing Business Unit. "PeopleSoft is providing proven solutions to help manufacturing companies run efficiently and
make the most effective strategic business decisions possible."
Borden Foods Implements PeopleSoft Solutions to Streamline Business Processes Throughout the United States and Canada
To manage its rapid expansion and multiple locations, Borden Foods Corporation, a leading producer of food products,
needed an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that would reduce the number of operating platforms and applications
necessary to run a complete manufacturing enterprise suite. PeopleSoft's Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Distribution, Financials,
and HRMS applications will enable Borden Foods to reduce their operating systems from four to one and reduce their 110
applications to fewer than 20.
"Borden Foods required a solution that was adaptable to our growing business needs," said Tom Nance, vice president of
systems and business process integration for Borden Foods. "Not only will the PeopleSoft's solution provide a flexible platform
for future growth, it will also eliminate non-productive costs by integrating redesigned business processes across North
America."
Eagle Family Foods Chooses PeopleSoft to Build Supply Chain Infrastructure
Formed in January, Eagle Family Foods Inc., a leading U.S. distributor of family foods, had no Information Systems
infrastructure and needed an enterprise solution to process orders, track inventories, plan production cycles and operations
throughout its supply chain and provide financial measurements and results. PeopleSoft Manufacturing is a key component that
will help Eagle Family Foods address supply chain issues including planning, optimization, collaboration and execution in all
seven of its company locations.
"Eagle Family Foods needed an enterprise solution that is easy to implement, change and maintain, enabling the company to
manage all aspects of the manufacturing cycle," said Ken O'Brien, vice president of information services of Eagle Family
Foods. "PeopleSoft's solution meets all of Eagle's needs and provides unmatched flexibility with a quick implementation
period."
