REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Oct. 22, 2007 -- Oracle today announced that Atrium Companies Inc., the largest manufacturer of vinyl and aluminum windows and patio doors in North America, is using Oracle(R) On Demand, including Oracle E-Business Suite Financials, to streamline its financial information management and processes. With Oracle On Demand, Atrium has been able to close its monthly financials nearly one week faster than previously possible, while also increasing the accuracy of financial data. The Oracle E-Business Suite Financials family of applications automates and streamlines financial business processes for enterprise-wide business intelligence that enables companies to make more informed decisions, improve operations, and reduce costs; while receiving a single accurate view of their financial information assets.

Looking at the available On Demand solutions for financial management, Atrium selected Oracle On Demand for its cost-effective, robust product line and its ability to scale and grow with the business.

"We did extensive research into all the features and functions we needed to address in a financial management system; and of all the solutions we evaluated, Oracle was the suite of products that best met our business needs," said Roger Santone, Atrium's Vice President of Information Technology. "Prior to Oracle On Demand, we were spending the majority of our time gathering data and a small percentage of the time analyzing it. Our goal was to flip that around and Oracle E-Business Suite Financials, in an On Demand environment, is allowing us to do that. We continue to clean and refine the data in our systems as a result of the increased visibility into our financial information. In the future, we plan to leverage the Oracle solutions as we grow with additional acquisitions. We know Oracle is the right system to scale and grow with us."

Atrium made a number of acquisitions to grow its business, and its IT and financial staffs were presented with new financial systems to learn, and inefficient technology to help integrate disparate financial data across acquired companies and numerous locations across the country. When evaluating technology solutions, the company also grappled with a lack of IT staff trained in implementing a new financial-management system, as well as the hardware costs associated with running these new systems. These factors made an On Demand solution a desirable option for the company.
