Business Wire, Dec 8, 2004

MARKHAM, Ontario -- Cybermation, a leading developer of enterprise job scheduling and software change management solutions, today announced the release of its ESP Business Agent(TM) for Oracle E-Business Suite. In conjunction with Cybermation's ESP Workload Manager, the new Agent improves the efficiency of Oracle E-Business Suite through automation that reduces workload and manual intervention, resulting in significant cost-savings and increased productivity.

The ESP Business Agent for Oracle E-Business Suite allows organizations to simplify operations by managing business processes and events from a single point of control, across applications and operating systems such as z/OS, UNIX and Windows. It delivers optimum performance by direct execution of Oracle Applications Single Requests (one program), Request Sets (a collection of programs), and by simplified control of all application requests sent through ESP Workload Manager.

"Cybermation is committed to enriching our customers' solutions," notes Ray Nissan, CEO of Cybermation. "With the ESP Business Agent for Oracle E-Business Suite, enterprises can use ESP Workload Manager to streamline and expand their existing IT resources. CIOs and IT managers can count on seamless integration without the need to purchase additional hardware."

The ESP Business Agent for Oracle E-Business Suite has helped maximize productivity and performance at one of Canada's largest retailers, Hudson's Bay Company. "The new Agent lets us utilize ESP Workload Manager to automate and create interdependencies between Oracle E-Business Suite and our entire enterprise," states Tony Maccarone, Manager, IT Operations Management at Hbc. "It allows ESP to interface seamlessly with Oracle Concurrent Manager without impacting existing Oracle workload to make job processes more efficient."

"As an Oracle Certified Partner, we continually look to improve the functionality of our ESP solution to provide significant cost-savings and increased productivity for our customers running Oracle applications," said Nissan. "We are pleased that the ESP Business Agent for Oracle E- Business Suite has delivered on this promise for Hbc."

The ESP Business Agent for Oracle E-Business Suite is now generally available from Cybermation.
