Philips Semiconductors is a world leader in silicon systems and standard products for wireless communications, digital entertainment, computing, and automotive applications. The company still faces increased customer demands for faster time to market. To stay competitive, companies are being forced to reinvent themselves so that the supply chain - encompassing sourcing and procurement, production scheduling, order fulfillment, inventory management, and customer care - is no longer a cost-based, back office exercise, but rather a flexible operation designed to effectively address today's challenges. As a solution Philips uses TIBCO technology for Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Business-To-Business (B2B) integration, and business process automation.
