Drew Marine Leverages Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to Underpin New Corporate Structure

Drew Marine, a leading provider of technical solutions and services to the global marine industry, partnered with SYSTIME to successfully implement [ Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0 ] in support of its new corporate structure.
To achieve operational independence from its former parent company, Drew Marine needed a comprehensive suite of enterprise resource planning applications that could meet the complex needs of its growing global business.
Working closely with SYSTIME and leveraging [ Oracle Business Accelerators ], a set of powerful, easy to use and rapid implementation solutions, Drew Marine migrated to its new enterprise resource planning system on time and on budget.
Drew Marine required a solution that supported business processes for chemical manufacturing across raw material inventory management, material planning, and manufacturing while also providing strong distribution (order entry, inventory and invoicing) and finance (AR, AP, GL, Fixed Assets) capabilities. Adding to the challenge of the stringent timeline was the need for a global rollout covering 19 subsidiaries, many requiring support for localized business processes.
By providing an integrated, standards-based applications suite, the new Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne infrastructure provides a stable, secure and flexible platform to cost effectively support Drew Marine's multi-channel environment, across departments and geographies.
SYSTIME is a Platinum Partner in [ Oracle PartnerNetwork ].
