Sapiens International Corporation (NASDAQ:SPNS), a global e-business solutions provider, today announced that Sapiens Americas will provide a supply chain execution system to Media Services.
Media Services, an AOL Time-Warner subsidiary, provides business solutions for popular publications such as Southern Living and Cooking Light cookbooks as well as Christmas with Southern Living. Sapiens' recently announced Supply Chain bizBLOX will be the foundation of the solution. The modular-based solution delivers fast time-to-market for inventory management and planning. The bizBLOX solution also delivers rapid return on investment particularly when compared to the costs of custom development and the inflexibility of today's packaged solutions.
Earle Blackburn, Director, New System Development for Media Services, said: "The velocity of deployment and the comprehensive nature of the solution made the selection of Sapiens' bizBLOX an easy decision. Our adoption of Sapiens' solutions during the past year continues to be justified by their advancements in technology and supporting services."
"Our Supply Chain bizBLOX solution is built on our business rules-based engine and many years of domain expertise in this arena," said Gil Arbel, Sapiens' Executive Vice President, Sapiens International. "Media Services' decision to adopt our new Supply Chain bizBLOX enables them to leverage their existing best practices while gaining the industry standard functionality for supply chain execution and the flexibility to customize and maintain." Sapiens has been providing value chain solutions for the past 10 years. The supply chain team's domain expertise averages 20 years across a broad range of manufacturing and distribution industries. The Sapiens team is supported by an established history of capabilities including business analysis, legacy integration, rapid application development, web design, and most importantly, a strong deployment track record.
