RFgen Software's Mobile Framework Achieves Oracle Validated Integration with Oracle E-Business Suite

Sept. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- RFgen’s integration with the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 is targeted to support real-time warehouse and manufacturing voice-directed workflows as well as providing on-demand connectivity for mobile devices like bar-code scanners, PDA’s, tablets and phones.

RFgen’s native support for Vocollect® enabled devices allows businesses running on the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 to voice-enable existing mobile supply chain application workflows, as well as to create entirely new ones. Implementing voice technology in the supply chain typically drives numerous, quantifiable benefits. Improved accuracy and increased productivity are two major components of the voice technology value proposition along with other benefits including improved “perfect order” rates and on-time shipments.

For scenarios requiring operations in remote locations, or areas where wireless / cellular coverage is unreliable or unavailable, RFgen’s mobile (casually connected) capabilities provide much more than simple store-and-forward solutions. RFgen-powered applications allow your mobile workforce to operate anywhere their job requirements take them without sacrificing functionality or accuracy. Any RFgen application can be configured to run in a real-time mode with the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 or in a disconnected mode using resources on the device to drive the task until communications are re-established and the transactions executed with the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.

To achieve Oracle Validated Integration, Oracle partners are required to meet a stringent set of requirements that are based on the needs and priorities of the customers. To facilitate the integration of voice into the enterprise, RFgen has developed, tested—and now provides—numerous Oracle-enabled workflows that can   be quickly introduced into a company’s environment and adapted to meet its unique requirements.

“The RFgen Mobile Framework delivers robust integration with numerous Oracle E-Business Suite workflows without requiring a footprint on your Oracle servers. RFgen’s architecture has been designed to support the rapid customization of business processes while delivering ideal developer productivity tools,” said Robert Brice, president, RFgen Software.

The RFgen Mobile Framework utilizes the Oracle E-Business Suite base tables for validation and respects the existing configuration options contained within the Oracle E-Business Suite environment. All interaction with the Oracle environment take place via standard PL/SQL read-only queries and procedures coupled with standard Oracle open interface calls to submit the validated transactions to Oracle for update. This design model assures the performance necessary to drive enhanced employee/workflow productivity and provides the confidence that the Oracle E-Business Suite tasks will be properly updated.

“Oracle Validated Integration applies a rigorous technical review and test process,” said Kevin O’Brien, senior director, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle. “Achieving Oracle Validated Integration through Oracle PartnerNetwork gives our customers confidence that the integration between RFgen Mobile Framework 4.1 and Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 has been validated and that the products work together as designed. This helps reduce risk and improves the implementation cycles for our joint customers.”
