auxilium Offers Early Adopter Program for SAP Software Integration
ACTION ITEMS

auxilium inc., a pioneer supplier of packaged Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) software designed to optimize interoperability between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and engineering management applications, legacy systems and critical supply chain partners, has announced an early adoption incentive program for companies who need to integrate an SAP application environment with other manufacturing applications across the enterprise.

auxilium developed the SAP Early Adoption Program in response to a growing number of inquiries from companies wanting to utilize Info*Engine's ease-of-access to link other business processes and users to their existing SAP environments. Using auxilium's EAI application suite, Info*Engine, in conjunction with its certified SAP adapter, manufacturers can seamlessly integrate their SAP enterprise applications with other engineering and manufacturing applications and legacy systems. This powerful combination provides global user access with seamless integration throughout the manufacturing supply chain. For a limited time, auxilium is providing substantial incentives for companies wanting to leverage the investments they have made in their manufacturing applications, hardware systems, and web environments. These incentives include:

• Implementation roadmap - auxilium's consultants will conduct an in-depth review of a company's strategic vision as well as a tactical breakdown of the information and processes to be integrated to optimize business impact.
• Server license and 300 seats - includes one Info*Engine server, up to 300 user seats of auxilium's SAP adapter, and the components necessary to integrate a company's ERP environment with legacy systems or other enterprise applications.
• On-site training - Four days of customized on-site training to empower your people to quickly deploy enterprise application integration solutions.
• Consulting/implementation services - auxilium will work with the company to develop and implement a portfolio of targeted workbenches to provide role-based, global user access to enterprise information using a standard web browser.

By making a commitment to invest in auxilium's SAP early adopter program before December 31, 1998, companies will realize savings of almost 45% off auxilium's standard list pricing for the software and services listed above.

auxilium's approach to Enterprise Application Integration is designed to break down the traditional information barriers with a solution that empowers employees, customers, and suppliers by streamlining the lines of communication, thus increasing productivity and reducing cycle time-to-market.

"For the many organizations running an SAP environment, we believe this is a tremendous opportunity to realize the added benefits of sharing application specific, business-critical information throughout the enterprise," said Mike Viola, president and CEO of auxilium. "We've been approached by a number of organizations hoping to integrate their SAP environments with their legacy systems and other enterprise applications, such as planning, purchasing, sales and database systems. The Info*Engine product suite is designed to allow broader usage of the investment already made in major ERP systems, while minimizing the learning curve and cost of training that goes with integration of a larger, multi-disciplined user group."
