DF Young Implements e-Logistics on BEA WebLogic ServerSAN JOSE, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- http://bea.com/more_info.jsp?p=291&r=5.17.27 BEA Systems, Inc. , a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software, today announced that DF Young, Inc., an international logistics leader since 1903, has built its e-Logistics application on BEA WebLogic Server(R) 8.1, helping to provide customers with an interactive, Web-based solution that is designed to process and display real-time supply-chain information. "The value of intelligent supply chain information extends far beyond the process of moving goods," said John Luludis, vice president of information systems, at DF Young. "Manufacturing plans, inventory management, pricing, and countless other business functions can be optimized when decision makers have access to comprehensive, up-to-the-second supply-chain information. That's what DFY e-Logistics is designed to provide. The BEA platform can make it possible by helping to enable us to customize the solution based on each customer's business and their company-specific objectives. BEA's tremendous flexibility facilitates a depth of integration with our customers, business partners and government agencies that enable us to process and publish a more complete set of information than many customers have experienced in the past." DF Young selected BEA based on a number of factors, including BEA WebLogic Server 8.1's ability to help drive business innovation, which can help enable DF Young to develop differentiated application functionality for its customers. The openness and flexibility of the BEA platform can give DF Young the freedom to adopt technologies that could help give the company an additional competitive edge. DF Young was also impressed with the designed-in scalability and reliability of BEA's platform, and the more rapid time to value delivery. "DFY e-Logistics is about putting the customer first," said Luludis. "It's a tool designed to help our customers succeed by giving them a competitive edge. BEA's platform is designed to be a strategic enabler of that value proposition. It enables us to deliver supply chain information to customers via the Web or from within their own logistics applications. It also helps us to adapt to our customers' changing business processes as customer objectives and requirements evolve. The platform is designed to grow with our business, helping to provide us with continuity and stability in the years ahead."
