Serus Corporation, a leading provider of on-demand Intelligent Operations Management (IOM) solutions for growing enterprises, today announced that Vativ Technologies, a world leader in advanced DSP-based solutions for the digital television and data communications markets, has gone live with Serus' newly released IOM 5.0 solution suite.

Serus' IOM 5.0 solution suite consists of five integrated modules (Sales Order, Purchase Order, WIP, Demand and Supply Chain Management) that have been fully implemented by Vativ to manage the accelerating demand for the company's advanced digital TV products.

"We're thrilled with the way Serus' IOM suite is handling demand planning, sales automation and inventory planning. Through the implementation of IOM 5.0 we are able to seamlessly tie our sales forecasts and backlog to inventory in our supply network," said Rocky LeBlanc, vice president of operations, Vativ. "Serus drove dramatic improvements in our customer service levels and provided us with much greater visibility into our inventory levels at our manufacturing partners, resulting in better financial controls. We are delighted with the results we're getting from Serus."

"We are very pleased that Vativ is already seeing significant improvement to their business efficiency," said Robert Gunn, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Serus. "Delivering financial efficiencies in the form of increased visibility into Vativ's supply network and seamless integration with Vativ's financial system is a key aspect of the value our customers are deriving from the IOM 5.0 release."

Serus' on-demand IOM solution suite helps companies address global outsourcing and distribution challenges. In particular, enterprises that have outsourced all or a portion of their manufacturing operations can effectively use Serus to collect data from their trading partners, convert that data into effective management information, collaborate with network partners and execute decisions across their network to achieve tremendous gains in operational efficiency. The IOM suite is equipped with an executive dashboard that provides increased visibility, advanced analytics and facilitates better decision making.

Serus' IOM suite can be deployed as a Hosted or On Premise model for semiconductor and high-tech manufacturing companies.
