Fujitsu Unveils glovia G2 ERP System for Production Management

- Makes visible production, sales, and inventory status on a global level -

Tokyo, October 21, 2009 –

Fujitsu and Glovia International, Inc. (GII) today announced the launch of glovia G2, the next-generation production management ERP for the manufacturing industry, available today worldwide.

The product combines functionality compliant with international standards and Japanese manufacturing know-how, enabling the quick deployment and integration of production management systems globally. The software makes production conditions visible by individually tracking the production, sales, and inventory status of each business site in a timely manner.

These capabilities help customers respond quickly to changes in international market conditions at each layer of their organization—managerial, administrative, and production—and develop plans for global strategic production.

Background
In recent times, a pressing need has emerged among manufacturers to be able to monitor and respond quickly to changes in global demand, as well as to unify the management of production at multiple locations around the world. The ability to ensure compliance with global business regulations at each of these locations has also become indispensable. Furthermore, companies are facing the challenges of consolidating disparate administrative systems, improving their IT investments via services integration, and gaining control over IT systems.
Fujitsu and GII have joined forces to address these demands with glovia G2, which makes information visible and supports productivity within companies.

Key Product Features
1. Rich Internet applications (*1) improve usability on a global level while ensuring reliability, expandability, and maintainability, as well as help each business location to step up operations and share information in real time. A new alert function makes production anomalies at a location visible, helping management quickly evaluate and respond to the situation.

2. Standard connection functionality to salesforce CRM helps to reveal demand fluctuations within each production site, in addition to supporting management and the site in quickly evaluating and responding to them.

3. A service-oriented architecture (*2) platform allows sophisticated production management functions to be offered as service components.

4. An expanded security manager controls security at the user and user-group levels and helps to support compliance in areas such as production management and IT system regulations.
