Kansas City Utility Takes Inventory at Syclo Mobile Conference

Syclo Partner Ventureforth Teams with KC Board of Utilities, a Syclo Mobile Conference Presenter, to Deploy a Mobile Enterprise Solution for Oracle PeopleSoft

Hoffman Estates, IL (PRWEB) July 14, 2010

Syclo, a market leader in mobile enterprise platform technology and software, proudly announces that Kansas City Board of Public Utilities will share their mobile inventory story at Syclo Mobile Conference on Friday, July 16th. Ventureforth, a Syclo Agentry™ development partner and provider of Oracle-based software solutions, worked with the Kansas City utility to deploy a mobile extension of its Oracle PeopleSoft and supply chain management systems using Syclo’s Agentry mobile enterprise platform technology.

Kansas City Board of Utilities, a water and electric utility serving 65,000 customers, is using the new application on Motorola MC9090 devices to streamline processes for its storerooms, water processing plant and service center. They list such benefits as more reliable off-line capabilities, improved security and better error tracking. “With Ventureforth’s development expertise, we were able to go live with mobile for our warehouse and field workers in just six months,” said Nick Scherzer of Kansas City Board of Utilities. “We were particularly happy with the drastic improvement in cycle count processes and easy integration to PeopleSoft and other backend systems.”

A Syclo Independent Software Vendor, Ventureforth licenses and develops off-the-shelf mobile solutions for Oracle, PeopleSoft and Indus (Ventyx) with 100% configurable mobile platform architecture from Syclo’s Agentry platform. “Building our product line on flexible Agentry platform technology ensures that organizations such as Kansas City Board of Utilities get a mobile solution that integrates seamlessly to multiple backend systems, yet is still easy to deploy,” said Charles Farnell, CEO of Ventureforth.

“Kansas City Board of Utilities’ mobile deployment is a great example of the Syclo-Ventureforth technology collaboration in action,” said Joe Granda, EVP Marketing of Syclo. “We’re proud to have them as a presenter at this year’s Syclo Mobile Conference – they’ll demonstrate how their mobile inventory solution takes advantage of a seamless information network between Oracle PeopleSoft systems and Agentry-built Ventureforth applications.”

The sixth-annual Syclo Mobile Conference, a premier training, education and networking event for Syclo worldwide customers and partners, will be held July 14-16 in downtown Chicago. Please visit smc. syclo. com (http://smc. syclo. com) for more details.
