  • Includes flexible hardware and software environment for more rapid and effective response to changing demands

In today’s business environment, responsiveness—to market shifts and expanding client needs—is the key imperative to stay one step ahead of competition. Changes are coming at such a pace that in order to capitalize on new market opportunities, you need to rapidly convert older, static business processes into an integrated and flexible on demand business environment. Costly regulation and convoluted government contracting rules make responding to customer requirements more difficult, just at a time when greater efficiency is needed in business operations to contain costs. To make this transformation as painless as possible, clients are increasingly seeking modular ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) business applications which are tightly integrated with a computing infrastructure that can affordably meet the demands of today’s business environment, while enabling the flexibility to change and grow as needed.

Bringing the ERP application environment together with the computing infrastructure, the IBM System p™ Solution Edition for Oracle E-Business Suite is an affordable and flexible ERP solution designed to provide a more integrated and tuned environment for small and medium-sized enterprises facing these challenges. Solution components are provided separately from IBM and Oracle as follows:

  • IBM contribution: IBM System p Express servers together with System Storage™ data storage offerings in attractively-priced and pre-sized configurations provide robust reliability features in a high-performance and exceptionally scalable infrastructure tuned for Oracle E-Business Suite.

  • Oracle contribution: Oracle E-Business Suite, a fully integrated, comprehensive suite of business applications for enterprises of all sizes.
