Alcatel e-Business Networking Division (Alcatel eND) delivers standards-based IP communications solutions to a global customer base of over 500,000 companies. To manage the high level of complexity and enable electronic communication with outsourcing partners, Alcatel eND chose to leverage its existing Oracle applications by upgrading to Oracle E-Business Suite 11i. Using the multi-organization functionality of Oracle E-Business Suite, Alcatel eND has created a supply chain system that accounts for all the activities of its outsourcing partners. Alcatel eND also benefits from improved communication with outsourcing partners. Alcatel eND has reduced its inventory by 50%. Alcatel eND's planning cycle time has dropped by 75% compared with its previous partially manual system.
