Clean Energy Company Carmanah Technologies Goes Live on Oracle in 16 Weeks

Victoria, BC, Canada (PRWEB) November 12, 2009 -- Carmanah has been putting solar to work since 1996. The first company of its kind in the world, Carmanah pioneered the self-contained solar light and continues to develop best-in-class solar LED lighting and solar power systems for industrial applications worldwide. Carmanah is located in Victoria, BC, Canada.

Carmanah recently went live on the Oracle® E-Business Suite Release 12 using an Oracle Business Accelerator install (16 weeks) with Canadian localization hosted by Oracle On Demand. Oracle Business Accelerators are rapid implementation tools, templates and industry- and geography-specific leading practice process flows provided by Oracle to partners to dramatically reduce implementation time, complexity, cost and risk. The primary objective of the project is to use Oracle as a foundation for future growth with the focus to improve product configuration accuracy and create process improvements for quotations and order processing with their Agent and Wholesale distribution sales channels.

Modules included:

• Oracle Financials

• Oracle iStore

• Oracle Supply Chain Management including Oracle Configurator

• Oracle Customer Relationship Management

• Carmanah Simulator Integration - integrate the configurator and orders key to validate product/model availability for average sun exposure based on specific longitude and latitude where the product will be installed.

• Submittal Package- pass data for agents and distributors to produce product specifications for quotes to end customer.

Customer Satisfaction:

Carmanah is very happy with DAZ’s efforts and the progress made in the short period of time. Below is a reference quote we received from their project manager:

“Like any implementation of this magnitude we had our bumps along the way but I was very impressed at how DAZ supported us and came to the table with solutions when challenges arose. Our implementation and migration took a short 22 weeks from kick off to go live. Considering the technical complexity of our business, in my books, that is a home run. I would personally recommend DAZ to any organization that is in search of a fully integrated ERP system with Configurator and iStore. Their expertise in guiding us was paramount to our success.” -- Trevor Hurst, Manager, IT, Carmanah Technologies
