Oracle is the world`s premier supplier of business applications to manufacturers, as determined by Manufacturing Systems magazine`s latest list of the Top 100 Software Providers 2000.
Manufacturing Systems magazine has determined that Oracle Corporation is now the number one provider of business applications to manufacturing organisations globally.
Oracle attained the number one position for the first time on the listing, based on revenue associated with sales to manufacturing companies estimated at $2.7 billion.
SAP, which held the top spot for the last five years, fell to second place, with revenues associated with sales to manufacturing companies estimated at $2.59 billion.
The ranking is based in part on research from Plant-Wide Research Corp, a leading industry analyst firm that recently named Oracle the number one vendor in the mission critical applications software market.
The top five is rounded out by JD Edwards, Baan, and Invensys, which is in the process of purchasing Baan.
"Oracle is already the market leader in databases and is the number one supplier of e-business applications," confirms Roger Mayes, product manager at Oracle Corp SA.
"This ranking demonstrates that Oracle is now the number one supplier of B2B applications to manufacturers as well."
Mayes says Oracle`s solutions have been tested and accepted in the marketplace and manufacturers agree with the need to have an integrated, internet-enabled solution from a single supplier.
"In this way businesses can focus on fulfilling customer demand profitably by delivering high quality products in the shortest time and at the lowest cost."
Mayes claims that no other supplier can offer a more comprehensive manufacturing solution today than Oracle, with its E-Business Suite 11i.
"Oracle`s pre-integrated `out-of-the-box` manufacturing solution enables rapid implementation, either standalone or integrated with other Oracle applications from the E-business Suite," he adds.
