Sun Microsystems honors Servigistics with 2004 Supplier Award
Servigistics, Inc., the leading provider of service parts management solutions, announced that they have received the Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s Meritorious Supplier Award for outstanding performance in Fiscal-Year 2004. The Sun Meritorious Supplier Award honors achievements in the areas of supplier cost effectiveness, quality, availability and technology.
The Servigistics service parts management solution was implemented across Sun's global service parts network to enable the company to improve the effectiveness of its service parts management, the timeliness of customer service repairs and the cost efficiency of repair operations. The solution successfully optimizes the globally distributed, service parts inventory critical to Sun's clients and provides a single, global platform for their worldwide service parts planning and logistics organization. Seeking a highly scalable solution with a proven track record of delivering measurable value, Sun replaced its existing solution last year and deployed Servigistics.
"Sun Microsystems commends Servigistics for continuously exceeding the expectations of their clients year after year," said Eugene McCabe, senior vice president, Worldwide Operations. "Servigistics greatly contributed to Sun's successful global service parts operation performance in 2004 and the Supplier Award is our way of recognizing their exceptional level of commitment and service."
Consistently delivering high quality performance results, Servigistics' solution enabled Sun to improve its already high standards of service excellence and streamline their global service parts network for optimal operating performance results. Replacing their original service parts solution, Sun has already experienced an ROI of five times its original investment, as the Servigistics solution has delivered the highest levels of value, global visibility, velocity and compatibility within its service parts organization.
"Servigistics is truly honored to receive this highly coveted award from Sun," said Eric Hinkle, Servigistics CEO. "We have always taken pride in the strength of our solution, our capabilities, and our relationships with clients, and to receive such visible recognition from a global, market-leading company like Sun Microsystems is very gratifying. Sun is an impressive organization, a true thought leader, and we are a better company for serving them."
