Announcing the Enable Systems Solution Version 1.5
Inverness, Illinois (April 3, 2000) – Enable Systems, Inc., a leading provider of Internet based eProcurement solutions for corporations, today announced the availability of Version 1.5 of its Enable Systems Solution. Version 1.5 introduces features that enhance customers’ ability to manage their eProcurement process, including the ability to gather information about purchasing patterns and trends by providing a new suite of reports that can be viewed online or in printed format. Included with the new release are enhanced purchase approval and workflow tools that will further reduce customers’ order cycle times. These new features include provisions for speedier purchase approvals and Quick Order, an efficient way for purchasers to quickly buy goods that do not need to be sourced from Enable’s eMarketplaces using Enable’s Seeker technology. Also in release 1.5 are better search tools for Enable’s Seeker technology, the ability to quickly and easily modify a company’s procurement workflow and approval rules, and enhanced abilities to sort Seeker search results, allowing customers to make faster and more effective purchase decisions. Customers can obtain the benefits of Enable’s end-to-end order management expertise combined with the Solution’s purchase order workflow automation capabilities, all coupled to Enable’s vertical eMarketplaces. Enable Systems continues to enhance its powerful, comprehensive eProcurement solution. The solution requires no up front investment and the technology, both hardware and software, is hosted by Enable Systems and accessed through a standard web browser by corporate customers. The leading value of the Enable Systems solution is the Company’s expertise and capabilities in the realm of order management. The solution features a dedicated order management team that assists customers throughout the procurement process; from finding the right products to buy to managing the resulting orders, facilitating end-to-end electronic connections between buyers and their many suppliers, and consolidating invoices for customers across all their suppliers of various types of goods. Corporations who purchase software packages to accomplish eProcurement initiatives are often surprised to find that acquiring and managing the product data that makes an eProcurement solution effective is an expensive, ongoing process. Enable Systems manages the acquisition and assimilation of product data for each of the eMarketplaces it maintains, relieving its customers of this expense and amortizing the cost over the many suppliers and buyers it supports. Customers quickly discover that the Enable Systems’ modular solution can compliment their existing systems investments and does not require them to start over again to achieve their strategic eProcurement objectives. Enable’s technology can even be integrated with a customer’s existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution or with other eProcurement solutions such as Oracle’s iProcurementâ, CommerceOne’s BuySiteâ or Ariba’s ORMSâ.
