TopTier Software Inc., a leading provider of business enterprise software, recently announced that their Enterprise Unification Platform (EUP) was named the Best e-Business Portal solution in the first annual Portal Excellence Awards sponsored by DCI, Imaging and Document Solutions, and Intelligent Enterprise Magazine. TopTier was honored in conjunction with Herman Miller, the world`s most innovative creator of office furniture, for their collaboration in deploying TopTier`s Enterprise Unification Platform to create a streamlined relationship with Herman Miller`s suppliers, extending the benefits of a virtual multi-unit corporation into their suppliers` own operations.
A panel of independent judges selected Herman Miller and TopTier as the best e-business portal solution on the basis of ROI, architectural design and innovation in the portal`s implementation. TopTier`s EUP is designed to enable an organization such as Herman Miller to optimize its business operations and relationships by allowing external trading partners, clients, and business users to collaborate and share content via a personalized Web interface.
"Herman Miller deployed TopTier Software`s Enterprise Unification Platform to create a truly virtual value-chain which provides every party throughout the chain with real-time information," said Michael Brunsting, Electronic Commerce Team Leader of Herman Miller. "This sharing of information creates a collaborative advantage for Herman Miller and our suppliers that allows us to maintain our position as the industry leader for reliability. With the help of the Enterprise Unification Platform we have boosted our on time and complete manufacturing and delivery reliability from an average of 75% to over 95%."
"Herman Miller`s growing success is a prime example of what our portal platform was designed to do for companies worldwide- create an entirely new standard for supplier relationships helping companies achieve true business efficiency," said TopTier CEO and founder Shai Agassi. "This DCI award demonstrates the growing industry recognition for new innovative portal technology that enables a company to tap into critical business intelligence."
