Sterling Commerce Recognized as Top IT Provider for Logistics Industry

Company Acknowledged for Broadening Deployment Choices and Decreasing Complexity for Customers


COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - April 28, 2010) -

News:

  • Sterling Commerce®, an AT&T Inc (NYSE: T) company, today announced it has been named a Top 100 Logistics IT Provider for 2010 by Inbound Logistics magazine.
  • The annual list recognizes industry leaders who are offering transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions that are responding to industry trends and developing innovative technologies to solve today's challenges in the logistics industry.
  • With today's businesses having such complex networks, being able to make smarter decisions will enable companies to avoid supply chain disruptions, automate complex processes, reduce manual errors and reduce overall costs. This year, Sterling Commerce is extending its supply chain applications and business integration solutions to enable its customers to address these complexities in three ways:
    • New mobile solutions for the supply chain extend visibility and the ability to manage, govern and respond to critical supply chain processes/interactions (such as proof-of-delivery notifications) beyond.
    • Expanded software-as-a-service offerings provide integration-as-a-service solutions to help companies raise the value of what they deliver to customers and managed service offerings that enable companies to completely outsource their business-to-business operations. Intelligent applications provide customers with the data they need to improve decision making processes by embedding analytics technology to provide data to users when they are engaged in the process, enabling the applications to drive processes, rather than simply report or alert on them.
