News Facts
- ACCO Brands (NYSE: ABD), one of the world's largest suppliers
of branded office products, has selected Oracle products and
technologies including, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle SOA Suite,
Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle GlassFish Server, Oracle JDeveloper,
the Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Transportation
Management.
- The ACCO Brands solution was built as part of an Oracle
Transportation Management implementation with BPEL processes
delivering Shipment/Confirmation information between the Oracle
E-Business Suite and PicK ticket Management System (PKMS)/
Distribution Center Management System (DCMS).
- ACCO used Oracle Fusion Middleware, specifically Oracle
JDeveloper and Oracle BPEL Process Manager, a component of Oracle
SOA Suite, to develop business processes to orchestrate across the
Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Transportation Management and
PKMS/DCMS applications. The Oracle-based interface processes
approximately 1,100-1,800 invoices within a 24 hour period.
- The design and development for the SOA-based BPEL interfaces
was completed in approximately four months. The project was
implemented at the three major distribution centers of ACCO Brands'
U.S. operations and provides benefits for more than 80 percent of
all shipments from U.S. businesses.
- By running Oracle BPEL Process Manager on top of Oracle
WebLogic Server, ACCO Brands has been able to view a process flow
that spanned greater than 70K steps. The new SOA-based interfaces
between the Oracle E-Business Suite and PKMS in the ACCO Brands
solution have performed 400 percent faster with 20 percent more
workload.
- ACCO Brands is also leveraging Oracle GlassFish Server for its
online training site. Future functionality of the site will include
the ability to e-mail preformatted key codes to customers and allow
them to register for online training courses.
- Oracle University training helped the ACCO Brands technical
team gain new knowledge of SOA technology components and the Oracle
Fusion Middleware tutorials on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN)
helped immensely with developing customizations in BPEL and
stabilizing the system.

Royce Heaney, VP Global IT, ACCO Brands.

and Oracle Fusion Middleware is definitely the easiest way to
migrate to an extensible integration platform," said Dheeraj
