Adonix To Use Ilog Components In Its Enterprise Resource Planning Applications

Adonix, a developer of integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to manage manufacturing, distribution and finance operations, announced today it will embed ILOG optimization and visualization components within its e-business systems, which are aimed at small to mid-sized organizations. The Company will use the ILOG components to build capabilities for supporting interactive drag-and-drop scheduling, supply chain synchronization and finite capacity scheduling.

"Incorporating ILOG's cutting-edge technology will greatly accelerate the delivery of our e-business solutions," notes Emile Hamou, Adonix chairman and CEO. "Combining ILOG visualization and optimization components with our integrated ERP application gives us a definitive competitive advantage – particularly in the business-to-business arena – with advanced functions like interactive graphics and communications applications."

Adonix, with world headquarters in Paris and North American headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will use the ILOG Optimization Suite, as well as ILOG's C++ and Java visualization components (ILOG Views and ILOG JViews), and ILOG Server. ILOG optimization components are the de facto standard among leading ERP and supply chain management (SCM) vendors.

"Companies like Adonix are increasingly using our components to provide the significant intelligence and rich interactive user experience that is critical to doing business over the web," says Bill Scull, ILOG vice president of worldwide marketing.

Adonix, a vendor of enterprise management software specializing in small to mid-sized organizations, recently extended its product offering and geographical presence by merging with Prodstar, one of the top European vendors of manufacturing systems, and with the former GSI Transcomm, the internationally-known American vendor of the TOLAS distribution package. In 1998, the Company reported revenues of more than $40 million, while supporting more than 4,000 customers worldwide.
