Portal CAB
In May of 2001, MFG Systems Corporation was selected by Oracle Corporation to serve on its Oracle Portal Customer Advisory Board. Oracle’s invitation was driven by the nationwide leadership MFG demonstrated in the first year of Oracle Portal’s introduction, delivering implementations for five major corporations.

Because of their 15 year track record supporting Oracle, MFG Systems was able to quickly build expertise in Oracle Portal. The business solutions MFG has developed in Portal include a clinical trial management system and a customer portal for an electronic bill processor. Both systems developed for these organizations are currently running in production. One system, which has been operational for almost a year, has generated significant revenue and substantially reduced the client’s operating costs.

This prestigious invitation is offered to less than 25 companies nationwide and includes representatives from General Motors and Unocal. The advisory board provides Oracle with insight to identify software problems, guide future product enhancements and improvements and strengthen advantages over competitive products.

“MFG Systems has proven to be an active and valuable member of the Oracle9iAS Portal Customer Advisory Board,” says Harry Wong, Principal Product Manager for Oracle9iAS Portal. “They share their expertise and insight and have delivered a detailed presentation to the Advisory Board. This feedback is much appreciated and of great value to our product development and documentation teams."

Frank Magno, CEO of MFG Systems adds, “Our selection to the advisory board not only benefits Oracle but also our clients. We gain a deeper level of understanding of the product by interacting with this team of leading customer and Oracle product developers. This group is also a resource to solve challenging or unique customer needs.”

MFG Systems has developed the Oracle Portal Jumpstart program based on its highly efficient implementation methodology. This program is designed to provide a rapid and predictable implementation in six days or less. With Oracle 9iAS Portal in place, companies can easily build and deploy customized e-business portals.
