Solution includes global repository for detailed product traceability and genealogy data; includes processes spanning from manufacturing operations to product supply networks

LONG BEACH, CA – November 15, 2011 – Apriso, a leading provider of manufacturing software solutions, today announced a new software and services solution, Global Trace and Genealogy, referred to as GTAG™. This new Apriso offering – with open integration with other systems along the supply chain – can deliver the necessary manufacturing intelligence and product genealogy data to improve accuracy and power traceability initiatives across global manufacturing operations.

Industry research suggests a key impediment to success with product traceability initiatives is the proliferation of multiple data repositories for manufacturing product genealogy, traceability and quality intelligence, resulting in poor data accuracy and untimely access to data. Apriso has overcome this challenge with a collaborative solution built on the FlexNet platform for global manufacturing operations management. This platform-centric solution serves as a track and trace “hub” that spans the needs of manufacturers and supply chain partners. This highly flexible approach to global traceability and genealogy helps manufacturers to:

• Improve collaboration – between manufacturers and trade partners to better coordinate corrective actions, reducing manual and time-consuming tasks prone to error

• Centralize track and trace reporting – to provide better insight into product genealogy and packaging hierarchy at any time

• Handle high volumes of traceability data – without impacting operational performance, as data is received from plants, suppliers and logistics providers

• Capture detailed global traceability and genealogy data automatically – from multiple sources, to help reduce risk, protect brand equity and meet compliance objectives

• Establish unique product identification schemes – that utilize existing RFID and barcode scanning technologies, leveraging these existing investments

• Address the escalating challenge of counterfeit products – by providing readily available, detailed product pedigrees to demonstrate product authenticity

“Few enterprise application software providers offer a global repository for product genealogy and traceability data capable of spanning both internal systems and complex supply chain operations,” explained Chris Will, chief technology officer at Apriso. “Yet this capability is absolutely required to ensure brand protection while minimizing warranty claims, managing Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) and complying with domestic and international laws required to maintain regulatory compliance. Apriso’s GTAG solution enables these capabilities.”

Ensuring brand integrity is a critical, visible benchmark of a manufacturer’s success. Apriso’s solution for global traceability provides a framework for collaboration and visibility to perform detailed quality investigations and root cause analysis. With a unified data model that captures and persists standardized data across production, quality, maintenance, inventory and along the supply chain, manufacturers can more effectively take corrective actions and perform continuous improvement that addresses both structured and unstructured quality activities and operations processes.

Apriso’s GTAG solutions will be offered with specific, industry focused best practices so as to offer more capabilities “out-of-the-box.” Initial solutions will be made available for manufacturers in the hi-tech, automotive, aerospace and defense, consumer goods and other industries.

62 percent year-to-date revenue growth driven by multi-industry growth strategy and diverse manufacturing operations and supply chain product breadth

LONG BEACH, CA – November 10, 2011 – Apriso, a leading provider of manufacturing software solutions, today announced continued strong revenue growth in the third quarter of 2011. Year-to-date revenue through three quarters grew by 62 percent on a year-over-year basis. Third quarter software revenues grew by 44% on a year-over-year basis. Growth was driven by new customers making enterprise decisions to standardize on Apriso as their platform for global manufacturing operations management. Key third quarter orders came from customers in the aerospace, consumer goods and high-tech industries.

“Apriso continues to achieve significant revenue growth by engaging with global manufacturers seeking scalable, enterprise solutions to drive greater efficiency, performance and continuous improvement across their extended global enterprises,” stated Jim Henderson, president and CEO of Apriso. “Our strategy to deliver a global solution serving multiple diverse industries has played a critical role in our growth and market share expansion.”

Multi-Industry Strategy Drives Continued Growth

FlexNet’s ability to address the various challenges faced across multiple industries has contributed to strong revenue growth, as evidenced by the firm’s continuous expansion over the past 5 years. All targeted industries have grown in 2011.

“Manufacturing Execution System (MES) companies have traditionally approached the market focused on one industry or manufacturing model. FlexNet’s unique ability to deliver a core solution that can be deployed across multiple industries and manufacturing models has been critical to our ability to maintain consistent growth in these turbulent economic times,” continued Mr. Henderson.

Customer Success

“MES companies have traditionally been challenged when implementing their systems across a large number of sites, limiting their ability to deliver a full scope of benefits to their customers. Our success in large scale deployments has contributed significantly to our market success,” said Jim Henderson.

Of particular note is the fact that during the third quarter 11 “go lives” occurred for a single customer. All 11 unique sites went live successfully on the same day, a new Apriso record and something quite unusual in the MES marketplace.

A growing number of manufacturers continue to select Apriso’s FlexNet as their global manufacturing platform to improve manufacturing efficiency, manage materials and suppliers, improve quality and provide enterprise visibility into manufacturing. Ease of implementation has also contributed to Apriso’s growth, as evidenced by the large number of new “go lives” that occurred in the third quarter and across all of 2011.

Customer Awards

Proof of Apriso’s ability to support global roll outs came in the third quarter when one of its customers, Cummins Inc., was awarded the Manufacturing IT Award of the year at the Strategic Manufacturing Awards 2011, held in Düsseldorf, Germany. Cummins earned accolades for demonstrating unrivalled success and return on investment in designing and executing a global IT infrastructure with Apriso’s FlexNet. Key decision factors in award selection included depth of product breadth, speed of implementation and quality improvement processes that are now more easily updated as part of Apriso’s solution capabilities.

Product Updates: Visibility, Control and Supply Chain Synchronization

FlexNet Manufacturing Process Intelligence was released at the close of the third quarter, offering real time visibility into manufacturing operations and the product supply network. This application further extends the value of the FlexNet platform, offering enterprise manufacturing intelligence and more effective analytics performance on a global scale to improve efficiency and drive continuous improvement. Apriso also just launched the industry’s first MES App for iPad and iPhone users. This mobility application extends visibility into and control over the plant floor to Apple’s mobile products to help simplify shop floor operations management.

January event in Miami will support goals of the President’s National Export Initiative

Ocean World Lines (OWL), a global, single-source NVOCC (non-vessel operating common carrier) and subsidiary of Pacer International, announced today that it will host a Global Trade Symposium in Miami, Jan. 18-20, to discuss the prospects for U.S. import/export trade in 2012. The Symposium also will encourage goals of the National Export Initiative (NEI), a program launched in January of 2010 by President Obama, to double exports by the end of 2014 as a means of boosting sales for American companies and creating new jobs.

The Symposium will feature a variety of presentations and panel discussions by a distinguished group of senior logistics professionals, including ocean carrier executives from Maersk Lines, Cosco, OOCL and Evergreen; large exporters; government officials; journalists; and academics. Topics will include outlooks for specific trade lanes, import/export case studies, technology applications and other issues of concern to importers and exporters of all sizes.

Symposium discussions also will emphasize goals of the National Export Initiative. “Anybody involved with trade should take to heart the NEI and President Obama’s talk about job creation and doubling exports by the end of 2014,” says OWL’s CEO Dan Gardner. “We are passionate about our mission to increase U.S. trade and the Symposium is a direct way to build relationships and give shippers access to the tools they need now to do their job more effectively and improve their bottom line.”

“We believe deeply that exporting can create jobs and stimulate the economy, and we want to make a contribution,” Gardner continues. “A lot of work has been done by the Small Business Administration, Department of Commerce, and Ex-Im Bank, but the government cannot go it alone. Helping to grow international trade is the right thing to do and it offers an exit from the financial crisis, which is why we are organizing this event.”

The Symposium expands on OWL’s commitment to provide best-practice learning opportunities for all facets of the trade community. OWL has hosted educational seminars in 10 cities around the country this year with such themes as: Incoterms 2010: Understanding & Application and The Logistics & Law of Exporting from the U.S.A.

This is the most prestigious award given by the U.S. government to companies that facilitate export trade and contribute to job growth and competitiveness. OWL was the only NVO to receive the “E” Award this year and the primary criterion was four years of successive export growth, accompanied by identifiable results of programs or activities contributing to export expansion.

OWL has over 200 employees worldwide with offices located in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Singapore, Tokyo, Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Long Beach, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Norfolk, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Ipswich, UK and Gdynia, Szczecin, Warsaw, Poland, as well as a network of agents worldwide.
