ORSYP Software Modernizes IT Infrastructure for Ocean Spray Cranberries

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - May 11, 2009) - ORSYP Software, a worldwide provider of IT operations management solutions and services, announced today at SAPPHIRE® 2009 that it has helped Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. create a service-oriented data center to modernize and automate its IT operations. Ocean Spray selected ORSYP Dollar Universe™ to replace its existing legacy solution. Dollar Universe version 5, certified by SAP AG as powered by the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform, replaced the custom middleware, coding and support provided by a third party.

ORSYP also announced today that it has joined the SAP® PartnerEdge™ program as an SAP software solution partner. Through the program, partners work closely with SAP to develop and certify the technical integration of their solutions with SAP software. Integrated partner applications extend, complement and add value to SAP solutions, thereby helping mutual customers more successfully meet business needs and drive strong results.

Ocean Spray and ORSYP:

--  Ocean Spray's nine major manufacturing locations present a highly
    distributed and complex IT infrastructure, including the entire supply
    chain from growing, harvesting, processing, packaging and shipping to
    various back-office processes.
--  When it came to optimizing its workforce and business processes, Ocean
    Spray found itself in a reactive mode and dependent on third-party support.
    Ocean Spray recognized that job scheduling was an essential foundation
    technology it needed to optimize its operations.
--  ORSYP offered a unique architecture, eliminating the need for a master
    system and reducing Ocean Spray's RS/6000 hardware requirement and
    maintenance costs as well as the risk associated with a master failure.
--  After selecting ORSYP's Dollar Universe for its job scheduling needs,
    Ocean Spray soon discovered the solution could also be used as a platform
    to deliver end-to-end automation. With Dollar Universe, Ocean Spray was
    able to identify process improvement and automation opportunities, allowing
    it to improve back-up and disaster recovery and warehouse management
    activities. By delivering "Scheduling-as-a-Service," Ocean Spray's IT
    operations demonstrated considerable business value and cost savings,
    proving that IT is not an expense but a strategic business partner.
--  Ocean Spray has also automated back-up and disaster recovery from
    three hours to 10 minutes, five percent of the previously required time,
    and increased visibility and transparency of warehouse operations between
    corporate and manufacturing locations.

John Goodfellow, Systems and Operations Manager, Ocean Spray:

-- "At first, no one here looked at job scheduling as a platform for automation. But using ORSYP Dollar Universe we've been able to contain costs, optimize our workforce and align IT with business services. For example, ORSYP Dollar Universe consolidated two legacy products into a single solution and reduced scheduling definitions and calendars by 40 percent. It has also allowed us to automate infrastructure architecture for our mission critical Warehouse Management System, where we decreased support call volume by 90 percent."
