Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application White Paper

In order to effectively compete in today's dynamic manufacturing environment, successful companies are recognizing the importance of developing operational excellence as a competitive advantage. A key factor for operational excellence is the capability to integrate the manufacturing supply chain by linking manufacturing systems to business end supply chain applications, such as SAP, Oracle, JDEdwards and various Enterprise Asset Management applications. Wonderware's Enterprise Integration Application capabilities enable customers to integrate manufacturing supply chains and achieve manufacturing operational excellence, providing the business and manufacturing agility required to stay ahead of their competition.

In the United States, the Wonderware Enterprise Integration Application plays a role in enabling executives to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This is particularly true for section 404 of the Act, which compels executives to adopt a back-to-basics approach to understanding and prioritizing infrastructure elements according to their material impact on the company's financial statements. Wonderware software can be used to expose, in real-time, the "material" produced, consumed and moved, which in many companies makes up a large part of the inventory financial figures. Wonderware software play an integral role in a company's manufacturing and business infrastructures by facilitating an executive's ability to implement and maintain critical business processes related to manufacturing, as well as supporting accurate, real-time financial transactions. The benefits of this capability are universal and relevant whether or not a company is governed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
