Analyst Coverage: Simon Holloway and David Norfolk
Appricity is a privately-owned corporation that was founded in 1999 and has been profitable since 2004. The company has offices in Washington DC and, as of 2014, an office in London, UK.
The company has built a series of supply chain management solutions and integrated finance solutions based on an agnostic platform, call Appricity Jetstream. This integration engine provides the ability to integrate into any third party data source, dynamically or batch (EDI, XML, ORM). Apptricity also provides pre-built integration connectors for SAP, Oracle e-Business Suite, Oracle JD Edwards, Oracle PeopleSoft, Epicor, GEAC, Microsoft Dynamics GP and many others. The platform can run in N-tier configuration on any OS, RDBMS, web server or application server technology platform.
The solution software is built into a series of modules that can be bought as a whole or in a series of pre-packaged combinations or individually. This gives Appricity a very flexible approach to solving individual company issues, with their ability to tailor and pull-together a solution to match particular needs.
Appricity’s supply chain solutions are particularly suited to the mobile enterprise with its ability to work off all 3 of the major mobile platforms (Apple, Android and Microsoft).
Enterprise Mobility Solutions
Last Updated: 17th October 2014
This is the newest solution packaging of Apptricity’s modules. Initially developed to handle mobile service management requirements, this has now evolved into a series of solutions including:
- Agile Delivery - The requirement for more effective and efficient collaboration between customers and suppliers allowing the free flow of information between all participants in the interconnected network.
- Scaled Logistics - The organisation’s business goals depend on the performance and reliability of its critical production assets. To deliver an agreed standard of service, an organisation needs a tactical plan for managing its infrastructure and other assets
- Field Services - the ability to manage all point extended supply chain for service management organisations, so that one achieves a seamless connection from Service Van to supplier with all points in between.
- Device Driven - With the explosion in the number of intelligent devices, we have created a network rich with information that allows supply chains to assemble and communicate in new ways so that a remote dispensing machine can communicate directly with an organisation’s order processing system.
- Critical Response – This looks at handling the situations met by Emergency Service operations where the need for up-to-date information can be critical to responder’s safety. The dispatchers are aware of the equipment on each vehicle that can respond.
This set of solutions is being spearheaded by Apptricity Europe.
Up until 2014, the company has been very North America focused. This year has seen Apptricity open an office in London as an entry point for Europe. This has also been reflected in the way the company has gone to market as it has a direct sales force supported by a consultancy group. Its partners are currently all technology based. The move into Europe has led to the setting up of an Apptricity Global Channel Program. This program covers Solution Providers, Service Providers, Systems Integrator and Distribution Partners as well as Technology Partners.
Commercial users include:
- Chorus New Zealand
All Apptricity solutions are based on a common service-oriented architecture (SOA) platform, called Apptricity Jetstream. This allows users to select the modules that are appropriate to their needs from the portfolio with the certainty that will work together. Part of this platform is the Apptricity integration engine, which connects directly to existing systems in an organisation to provide a robust cross-functional solution and maximizing the value of corporate resources.
Jetstream can run on:
- Datasources - RDBMS, XML, middleware
- J2EE Application Servers - IBM WebSphere, JBoss, Oracle WebLogic
- Mobile Platform – Apple, Android, Microsoft
- Browsers – Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Explorer, Mozilla Firefox
- Operating Systems – IBM AIX, IBM AS/400, Microsoft Windows, Oracle Solaris, Linux, Unix
- Web Server - Apache Software Foundation Apache, Microsoft IIS
Apptricity have a well-proven professional services group who have broad skill sets and deep subject matter knowledge. This group is closely linked with both support and development groups.
Their web site has a series of white papers and e-books covering issues in supply chain management and associated financial management.
Apptricity has made available to its customers and partners a series of accredited courses under the banner of Apptricity University which are run at its corporate headquarters in Irving.
