Oracle Corporation has announced six new customers who have recently implemented Oracle Applications on Windows NT in a significantly shorter time frame many within 90 days than the six to nine months typically required with competing ERP (enterprise resource planning) applications on Windows NT. These medium sized companies, in industries such as financial services, manufacturing and retail, have turned to Oracle Applications to obtain enterprise-quality business solutions previously only accessible to large corporations. Some of the many customers who have deployed Oracle Applications on Windows NT include: * ONSALE, the Menlo-Park, CA based Internet auction retailer, worked with Oracle partner Core Technology Group to select and deploy Oracle Financial Applications. * Metromont Prestress Company, the Greenville, SC makers of prestressed concrete for parking decks, stadiums, and buildings, rolled out Oracle Manufacturing and Financial Applications. * AAF International, formerly American Air Filter, based in Louisville, KY, manufactures commercial and residential air filters and worked with Oracle partner EDS on their Oracle Financial Applications implementation. * Clarks Companies, a shoe manufacturer head quartered in Boston, MA worked with Oracle partner KPMG to deploy Oracle Financial Applications. * Canadian-based Credit Union Central of Alberta implemented Oracle Financial Applications. * Play by Play, based in San Antonio, TX, is an international manufacturer and distributor of novelty toys which is implementing the Oracle Financial Applications on Digital Alpha NT. "Mid - sized companies who want an enterprise quality solution on Windows NT are choosing Oracle Applications because they can support business needs today and then easily adapt to rapid growth and change, " said Peter Forsyth Applications Manager , Oracle Corporation, "Oracle Applications help these companies be more competitive providing advanced decision making capabilities to managers and improving the performance of core business processes." Since Oracle Applications were launched on Windows NT in May 1997, more than 500 customers in North America have purchased the modular software package on Windows NT.

In addition, Oracle and OADN partners work closely with global and regional system integrators to cater to individual customers` unique needs and enable rapid implementation.
