Enterprise Enabler - Facilitating Mergers through New Integration Technology  | Data is frequently maintained in disparate systems and people in the field need access to both financial and production information to make better, more timely, decisions. The ability to rapidly and economically integrate the production and financial reporting systems of an asset can increase the value of an asset to a prospective buyer. Employing a new and fundamentally different integration technology, Enterprise Enabler can quickly connect field production systems to back office ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, or even legacy financial systems.
Inherent within Enterprise Enabler is a powerful transformation engine, performing complex many-to-many data mapping, unit conversions, calculations, and automating other data manipulation. This capability is critical, for example, where sources of data are located in multiple repositories and businesses. |

Enterprise Enabler - Creating Collaborative Work Processes for Mergers and Acquisitions
| | Managers are often challenged in mergers and acquisitions by the differences in work processes between companies. Changing and documenting work processes can be easily accomplished with Enterprise Enabler's flexible process designer engine. Managers can change or add processes and information sources easily through a 'drag-and-drop' graphical interface. The process designer engine can also launch specified business processes, such as notifications and reports, based on events or conditions. Another source of value for integration is the opportunity to eliminate redundant data entry and the associated cost and delays that occur with re-keying information into sometimes multiple back-office systems. Enterprise Enabler automates this process through a "plug-and-play" framework, supported by the graphical Process Designer. |  |
