LONG BEACH, Calif.--Aug. 23, 2006--Apriso Corporation has expanded its market-leading SAP expertise through the successful integration of SAP xMII with Apriso's FlexNet platform. xMII (xApp Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence) is a composite application designed to help manufacturers connect their mySAP(TM) ERP system to the plant floor to gain actionable operations and performance intelligence. The integration marks the latest milestone in Apriso's long-standing commitment to SAP.
Apriso offers customers more than 110 integration points to SAP - exceeding any other MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) product in its class. In addition, Apriso was one of the first software vendors in North America to earn "Certified for SAP CA-MXL Interface" status (later recognized as "Certified for SAP NetWeaver"). In December 2005, Apriso was granted a "Powered by SAP NetWeaver(R) for Industry Standards" certification, in which Apriso added support for ISA 95 standards to its FlexNet platform and, by extension, into the SAP platform.
More than 80 percent of FlexNet customers use SAP as their enterprise software platform. Apriso's vertical expertise includes the Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, Industrial Machinery and Components, Life Sciences, Mill Products, Electronics and Consumer Goods industries.
"The combination of FlexNet and xMII further enhances our customers' ability to gain actionable real-time visibility and control of their operations, while extending the value of their SAP investment," said Jim Henderson, president and chief executive officer, Apriso. "We look forward to expanding our relationship with SAP, and reconfirm our support of their technology as our product line and customer base grows."
