Oco's Opportunity Management System Goes Live At Immix; Dashboard Technology Enables Customized Visibility into Critical Information.

Business/Technology Editors

SUDBURY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 2002

Oco, Inc., a world-class technology provider, announced today that Immix Technologies, LLC. has successfully gone live on Oco Dashboards and an eagerly anticipated Opportunity Management System. The new online Opportunity Management System integrates and better manages Immix' high volume of customized orders. The Dashboards allow Immix business managers to view real time information on their desktops. Immix, a supplier of specialty compounded elastomers and services, has worked with Oco previously. As part of an earlier project, Oco installed Immix' eCommerce, customer service and MORe profit portal.

Immix, through its two operating companies, CRI-TECH and CRI-SIL, offers custom compound formulation and engineering assistance with part fabrication and processing. The previous internal system that Immix was using was not Web-based, and employees were using a variety of disparate applications. As a result, there were difficulties synching all of the information. Implemented in just six weeks, the new Web-based Opportunity Management System will facilitate improved communication about the entire production process, from initial request, formulation, through testing, all the way to delivery.

"Oco continues to help streamline the way that we do business with the Opportunity Management System, and their rapid implementation has quickly advanced our ability to be even more competitive," said Mark C. Stevens, IT Manager for Immix Technologies. "And, the new Dashboards allow us to see the information we need to run the business in real time, and in a way which is so easy to use, rather than relying on lengthy analysis."

Starting today, Immix employees will also begin receiving customized alerts about potential sales opportunities, critical orders, and overdue product opportunities with Oco's Dashboard product. Oco Dashboards reveal an inside view of Immix' business transactions - such as sales, inventory and shipments - taking place throughout the day, right from their desktop. At Immix, the Dashboard is tied directly into customer opportunities, manufacturing activities, inventory, and financial systems.

"The true power of a successful business is achieving a balance of supply, demand and resources," said George O'Conor, CEO of Oco, Inc. "The new Opportunity Management System, Dashboards and reporting system provide Immix with the tools they need to achieve this balance by creating greater visibility and efficiency for their employees."
