DAYTON, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
To help automate and streamline supply chain and manufacturing
processes, NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) has integrated its radio
frequency identification (RFID) software solution, NCR
TransitionWorks(TM) for RFID and Mobility, with the Oracle(R)
E-Business Suite.

   A demonstration of the integration can be viewed at the RFID
Journal Live 2008 convention, April 17-18 in Las Vegas, at the NCR
booth (# 336) and the Oracle booth (# 225).

   The integrated solution enables real-time capture and monitoring
of inventory for supply chain and manufacturing processes. It allows
Oracle E-Business Suite customers to deploy autonomous inventory
reporting processes for activities, such as picking, staging and
shipping, that previously required human intervention.

   "NCR is pleased to facilitate the integration of Oracle's software
with our RFID technology and expertise," said NCR Vice President and
General Manager for AIDC Solutions Donna A. Wright. "In fact, NCR's
central fulfillment center is a user of the Oracle E-Business Suite,
and we are working with the center to incorporate these new
capabilities."

   With the solution, Oracle's customers, including NCR, can augment
current implementations of the Oracle E-Business Suite with updated,
streamlined business processes. For example, if a warehouse forklift
driver is directed to pick up a certain order, line items are
automatically issued to that order as the RFID-enabled forklift
retrieves pallets and moves them to a staging area or trailer.
Conveyors can also be equipped with RFID readers, sensors and
programmable logic controllers, allowing cases to be identified
regardless of orientation and diverted down the correct lane.

   "We are pleased that NCR has been able to utilize their existing
investment in the Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Warehouse
Management to deploy these capabilities, using the NCR TransitionWorks
for RFID and Mobility application," said Jennifer Sherman, senior
director, Product Strategy at Oracle. "The integration helps to drive
real benefits to their own supply chain execution and offers
compelling value for our shared customers."
