REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
-- Meru Networks (http://www.merunetworks.com), a developer and marketer
of wireless infrastructure solutions, has successfully implemented the
Oracle(R) E-Business Suite Release 12 to standardize on best business
practices in order to gain increased auditability, real-time visibility
and transparency into its business operations, Oracle today announced.
-- Implemented in 120 days, the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12
replaces multiple legacy systems to provide Meru Networks with
integrated ERP capabilities that can support the company's growth.
-- Today, Meru Networks has achieved many operational efficiencies and
increased visibility into the entire requisition and approval process.
With auditability of operations on a daily basis, Meru Networks is able
to close its financial books efficiently and have an infrastructure in
place to execute future regulatory compliance initiatives.
Rapid Implementation Improves Day-to-Day Operations
-- The initial deployment, focused on automating the entire order-to-cash
cycle and procure to pay cycle, yielded improved processes for order
management, accounting, shipping and purchasing across the entire
company.
-- The implementation is running on Meru Network's own wireless LAN
infrastructure leveraging Oracle Database 10g, and utilizes the
following modules: Oracle Order Management, Oracle Purchasing, Oracle
iProcurement, Oracle Manufacturing and Oracle Business Intelligence for
Supply Chain and Order Management.
-- Led by Navisite, a Certified Advantage Partner in the Oracle
PartnerNetwork, Meru Networks' implementation of the Oracle E-Business
Suite Release 12 was completed on-time with very little customization,
resulting in a scalable foundation for automating and integrating
additional business functions.

-- 'We needed an integrated ERP application infrastructure that would
scale with our business growth and support our overall systems
strategy,' said Meru Networks, Head of Information Technology, Sreeni
Garlapati. 'Implementing the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 has
enabled Meru to leverage standard business processes and we have
been able to consolidate our disparate systems onto one platform.
Oracle's high-tech industry expertise is impressive and we were able to
implement the system rapidly. We are also running Oracle Applications

during our investigation; the majority of companies like Meru were
either using Oracle or moving to Oracle,' said Meru Networks' Keith
Matasci VP of Operations. 'We wanted a complete package, no
customizations required, and we had a very aggressive window for the
implementation. The Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 allowed us to
start with a tier 1 product that will support Meru as we grow, but not
be over burdening starting out. Oracle meets all our requirements.'
