ISELIN, NJ, November 17, 2006 – ecVision®, a leading provider of Product Lifecycle Execution™ solutions for consumer brand retailers, has sponsored a highly informative report published by Aberdeen Group that shows that improved global supplier visibility and performance is achieved by implementing solutions like ecVision XpressCommerce® and XpressB2B®.

The study, “The Global Supplier Visibility and Performance Benchmark Report”, lists six areas of emphasis that are important when measuring best in class supply visibility and performance systems — Supplier Visibility, Performance, Costing, Collaboration, Enablement, and Portals. The functionality in the ecVision product suite fulfills each area of emphasis in the report, providing enterprises with the ability to successfully manage their trading partner network with a solution that delivers both Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Supply Chain Execution (SCE) functions in a single portal. The result of this combined functionality is a highly-sophisticated product that enables exceptional visibility and creates unparalleled collaboration between retailers and their global trading partners, including vendors, factories, agents, banks, and logistics providers.

Last year, ecVision and Gerber entered a strategic alliance, spurring the development and marketing of innovative integrated solutions designed specifically for the fashion industry. Through this partnership Gerber’s product lifecycle management suite, Fashion Lifecycle Management (FLM), is enhanced with ecVision’s functionality that enables exceptional visibility and creates unparalleled collaboration between brand retailers and their global commerce partners, including vendors, factories, agents, financial institutions, and logistics providers.
