Enhanced online service to provide secure data access point

ALFalak Electronic Equipment & Supplies Co., a leading provider of technology-based end-to-end solutions in the Middle East, has announced that it has started implementing the Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Collaborative Portal solution in its online self-service portal.

Based on IBM’s WebSphere portal, the JD Edwards system provides a highly secure, interactive and single point of information access to suppliers, business partners and customers. ALFalak’s online users will now be able to more efficiently monitor and manage Sales Order Status, Shipment Status, Shipment Delivery and other critical information. The system is expected to boost sales by providing a secure, highly available and convenient platform for placing orders.

“Given today’s highly-competitive markets, our stakeholders need fast, reliable and safe access to information. Our management requires this as well to improve decision making and enhance workforce productivity. Through the Oracle’s JD Edwards portal technology, we will be better positioned to provide the right information to the right people at the right time,” said Ahmad Ashadawi, President and CEO, ALFalak Electronic Equipment & Supplies Co.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne features portal interoperability standards to simplify configuration and deployment and security options such as Single Sign-On, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and a native application security program which users can combine. ALFalak will be able to develop its own portlets through the solution’s catalogue of pre-built portlets for common business processes and integrated development tools. The company’s managers can use the tools and information to oversee various employee activities, reduce or eliminate paperwork and minimise human intervention in repetitive processes.
