Perot Systems Introduces Solutions for Metal Fabricators and Chemical Producers in Support of SAP(R) Solutions at SAPPHIRE(R) '06 Orlando

PLANO, Texas, May 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Perot Systems Corporation today announced two new industry solutions that leverage the mySAP(TM) ERP 2004 application, to be introduced at SAPPHIRE(R) '06 Orlando, SAP's international customer conference May 16-18. Targeted at mid-sized metal fabricators and chemical producers, the solutions address industry-specific challenges and can accelerate implementation of the mySAP ERP 2004 application. The best practices-based solutions can be implemented for a predictable price, offering an option with a lower delivered cost than the traditional implementation approach.

"These solutions can help mid-sized metal fabricators and chemical producers obtain the same key functionality and business benefits that larger companies can achieve in their more extensive implementations of SAP(R) solutions-but with a predictable cost and implementation timeframe," said Sally Herbert, global leader of consulting at Perot Systems. "With these new solutions, based on many years of proven industry experience, they can begin to see benefits in as little as 16 weeks."

The new solutions, one tailored for metal fabricators and the other for chemical producers, are SAP-qualified packaged solutions and address a base set of essential functionality that Perot Systems has configured in a way intended to help achieve those industries' specific needs. That functionality includes core process automation, supply chain management, customer collaboration services, and strategic inventory management, as well as robust reporting and views into profitability and related accountability processes.

Herbert added that for customers in other industries, or for metal fabricators and chemical producers who need additional functionality not offered in the industry-configured solutions, Perot Systems continues to offer a full range of custom consulting and applications services, including business transformation, IT transformation, enterprise application implementation, applications management and outsourcing, and applications development, as well as a comprehensive selection of infrastructure and business process solutions.

The industry solutions will be demonstrated at SAPPHIRE '06 Orlando and available for conference attendees to review at Perot Systems' booth (#2657).
