Irvine, CA (August 5, 2004) - Wolverine Decision Technology, Inc. today announced
that AOpen Inc., a global leader in PC component solutions, has entered into a purchase
agreement with Wolverine to deploy Wolverine2.5 to its worldwide operations. Through
the deployment, AOpen expects to increase demand forecast accuracy, better control and
manage pipeline inventory, reduce sales loss and inventory cost, enhance demand-supply
synchronization and increase customer satisfaction.
AOpen, one of the world's preeminent and leading PC components brands, has
successfully transferred its role from manufacturer to service supplier, not only in
increasing its component business, but also in evolving the components idea into
practical application with Notebook/Bare System solutions, External
CDROM/DVD/CDRW Drive Solutions, LCD Display Solutions, and Motherboard
Solutions, etc.. The result is a transition from Component Total Solutions to Platform
Solutions. For the past few years, AOpen has been devoting its strength toward the
concept of one-stop shopping and total solutions and has done well fulfilling end-users'
needs efficiently and soundly benefiting clients' business. AOpen has a world-wide
customer base and its distribution channel spans North America, Europe, Japan, China
and Asia.
As business becomes more globalized and the number and complexity of products grows,
AOpen is facing the challenges in its demand and supply planning and management
process for end products as well as key components. In order to be more responsive to
the market and increase competitive edges, AOpen management is in need of a strategic
partner to co-work to improve current situations. After several rounds of evaluations,
AOpen chose Wolverine because Wolverine's Collaborative Demand Management
solution, Wolverine2.5, offers a common platform, which facilitates collaboration in
demand forecasting and consolidates forecast processes from various organizations, and
an embedded intelligent forecasting and inventory planning engine, which enables
planners and managers to be more adaptive to market changes through the self learning of
past demand patterns and consideration of future market driven factors. In addition,
Wolverine2.5 is easy to integrate with AOpen's Oracle ERP system. Wolverine is the
best choice for Aopen in terms of functionality, cost and teamwork.
AOpen envisions the deployment of Wolverine2.5 will enable a market- and service-
driven business environment to have complete channel visibility and increased customer
service level, leading to the ultimate "Total Sharing Value" - an Aopen core value!
