Analysts Comments

• The impact of Oracle's descent into WMS is
  significant as the company gains a competitive
  advantage over traditional WMS vendors in two
  distinct areas -- integration and supply chain
  execution. The fact that Oracle can provide
  complete integration between its ERP, E-Business
  suite, and WMS products puts best-of-breed
  competitors at a severe disadvantage.
• Oracle has designed the solution as extremely
  flexible for the end user to modify.
