Gas Manufacturer Voltaix to Power its Business to New Level with Ross Systems; Specialty Gas and Chemical Manufacturer will Streamline Business Processes and Gain Tools Needed to Reach New Markets
ATLANTA --(Business Wire)-- Aug. 17, 2004 -- Ross Systems (NASDAQ: ROSS), a global provider of enterprise software solutions for manufacturers, today announced that Voltaix, a manufacturer of high-purity specialty gases and chemicals, has selected iRenaissance for its enterprise business solution. Voltaix looks to iRenaissance to fuel the company's growth into new markets, streamline supply chain processes, improve customer service and build a platform to support overall expansion.
Fierce competition in the chemical industries forces companies to constantly strive to push into new markets. By working hand in hand to develop new products with customers, specifically semiconductor capital equipment makers, Voltaix must ensure its products meet the precise analytics readings required by customers at the time of manufacture. To effectively track and trace these specific requirements, Voltaix selected Ross' iRenaissance enterprise business solution as its system of record to manage critical data while providing a foundation to support company growth.
"To broaden new product development and market access, we needed a business system that enabled us to demonstrate that our products achieve the exact criteria specified by each customer," said Matt Stephens, Voltaix's chief operating officer. "With integrated attribute management, lot control and data collection functionality in iRenaissance, we can track and publish crucial information at the time of manufacture for each specialty gas. These improved capabilities open new doors for Voltaix, providing us with not only the certainty that our products meet customer requirements, but also the data to prove it. iRenaissance meets our needs of today while supporting our expansion into new markets and the demands of tomorrow."
In addition to its unique manufacturing and inventory control capabilities, Voltaix chose iRenaissance for the solution's ability to adapt to changing business models, flexibility of its Internet-based technology foundation, the Internet Application Framework(TM), and Ross' intimate knowledge of the unique challenges faced by chemicals manufacturers. With the comprehensive applications of iRenaissance built on a solid technology platform, Voltaix expects to increase purchase order and distribution efficiencies, accurately monitor financial activities and support the company's growth into global markets.
"The myriad business applications comprising iRenaissance offers companies the flexibility to adapt to evolving business models, support new product and manufacturing lines and to support worldwide growth," said Rick Marquardt, president of North American Operations at Ross. "For companies like Voltaix, at the edge of innovation, partnering with Ross provides the extensive resources and unparalleled strength needed to reach a company's business growth objectives."
