SmartOps launches new multi-million dollar solution center

SAP customers get risk-free Enterprise Inventory Optimization and also benefit from future SAP-SmartOps co-development and innovation in supply chain planning

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 10, 2007 -- SmartOps Corporation, the leading provider of enterprise-class supply chain optimization software solutions, announced today the launch of a SmartOps-SAP Solution Center (S3C) with multiple live instances of SAP including R/3, APO and BW that are configurable to prospect and customer needs. A live demonstration is scheduled at ACCELERATE: SmartOps Forum 2007 on September 20 in Charlotte.

"This major infrastructure investment is just one of many on-going initiatives to help our customers and prospects integrate Inventory Optimization into their enterprise," said Sridhar Tayur, founder and CEO of SmartOps. "This makes the implementation and on-going support predictable, risk-free, quick and cheap."

SmartOps created the Enterprise Inventory Optimization (EIO) market in 2000 by introducing new science to the marketplace inside enterprise- architected software. Over $13 billion of inventories around the world are under active management using SmartOps' Multistage Inventory Planning and Optimization (MIPO(TM)) software and over $3B in value has been created. SAP, the largest provider of business software, selected SmartOps MIPO as its Endorsed Business Solution (EBS) and EIO has become the number one investment for several industries. With ConAgra, Bayer, Kellogg, Deere, Rohm&Haas, Caterpillar, Jabil, HP, and Unilever as common customers of both SAP and SmartOps, MIPO has become the leading EIO solution in the world.

"S3C also allows for our R&D folks to collaborate easily with the engineers and solution managers at SAP as we develop new modules and bring them to market together," added Tayur. "This on-going innovation is an important part of our relationship. This way our customers can have best-of- breed functionality that is architecturally compatible with their platform investments."
