Sterling Commerce Named as Leading Manufacturing Technology Provider
Company Included in START-IT Magazine’s Top 125 Technology Providers List
COLUMBUS, Ohio--Sterling Commerce, an AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) subsidiary, today announced it has been named to START-IT Magazine’s annual listing of the top 125 most influential manufacturing technology providers. Inclusion in this listing validates the company’s mission to help manufacturing organizations thrive in today’s global economy.
“Each year, we see more change in the manufacturing industry and the available technology, and the editors of START-IT must be more critical in examining the top 125 technology providers,” said Peggy Smedley, editorial director of START-IT. “Despite the churn, companies like Sterling Commerce continue to surface because of their stability, breadth of product offering, and customer base.”
“In its listing, START-IT Magazine highlights that technology has evolved and become more prominent in the manufacturing space. With that prominence, more manufacturers are finding they need to complement - not replace – existing systems, but still find ways to innovate,” said Richard Douglass, global manufacturing industry executive at Sterling Commerce. “It is for that reason that manufacturers are turning to Sterling Commerce. Our solutions augment and extend a manufacturer’s traditional ERP and other legacy systems to enable multi-enterprise supply chain processes. As a result, manufacturers can respond faster, more reliably and more profitably than their competitors to changes in their end markets and trading partners.”
Sterling Commerce provides solutions for multi-channel selling, supply chain fulfillment and business process integration that enable manufacturers to outpace their competition by using supply chain agility and adaptability as differentiators. Its selling solutions enable manufacturers to profitably and consistently exploit new revenue opportunities in innovative, customer-pleasing ways. Its fulfillment solutions enable manufacturers to create a lean, intelligent supply chain that delivers the “Perfect Order” from the moment of order capture, through sourcing, manufacturing, fulfillment and reverse logistics. Its integration solutions give manufacturers cost-effective, flexible means for managing complex, global communities of trading partners as well as constantly changing internal communities that result from mergers and acquisitions.
