Adexa

Adexa(TM), Inc., a provider of collaborative planning solutions critical to e-business, today announced that it has successfully completed implementation at Centillium Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTLM), a leading provider of DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), Voice Over Packet and Home Networking for broadbrand markets. The overall project came in significantly under budget and in record time for a Supply Chain Planner implementation--in total, the project lasted less than four months. Centillium selected Adexa's collaborative planning solutions, iCollaboration, to improve on-time delivery to customers, and provide management with timely information.

Needing a scalable solution to support future growth expectations, Centillium was looking for a solution that would provide the company with better reliability of information. Centillium's process of planning on spreadsheets had become cumbersome and time consuming and the company required a more systematic method of prioritizing allocations. After conducting an extensive search, Centillium selected Adexa's iCollaboration suite because of its ability to be customized to various supply chains and provide functionality based on specific industries, such as electronics.

"One of Adexa's competitive advantages and a primary reason we selected iCollaboration was that it provides one seamless solution. It is imperative that our supply chain planning solution be cost-effective, easy to implement and scalable, and Adexa met all our requirements," said David Hickman, Centillium's Director of Information Technology. "Furthermore, the entire team at Adexa including consultants and project managers have made for a rapid and successful implementation and we are extremely pleased with the results."

"This has truly been an amazing year for us at Adexa. We believe our well-established success in the electronics manufacturing arena has allowed us to successfully penetrate into the fabless market," said Simon Tunmore, Director of Professional Services for Adexa, Inc. "Our vertical foot print can only grow as Adexa's brand and rapid implementation become synonymous with customer service and satisfaction."
