Seagate Implements Oracle Global Trade Management Through Wipro

To optimize the management of its complex global trade operations, Seagate Technology LLC implemented Oracle
Global Trade Management.

With thousands of transactions per day, including shipments to customers in
nearly every country in the world, Seagate needed a
platform that would allow it to optimize and streamline business processes
related to internal and cross-border trade.

After an extensive review, it chose Oracle Global Trade
Management as it delivered the flexibility and functionality required to not only manage its complex trade management processes but also
allow it to add new markets and additional lines of business.

Leveraging Oracle Global Trade Management as centralized trade data
repository for all legal, regulatory and compliance related information,
Seagate has been able to increase the flexibility of its global trade
operations and avoid shipment delays by writing rules to screen
transactions for local import and export requirements.

With one global dashboard that enables a centralized view and
helpful alerts on global regulations and requirements, Seagate is able to
eliminate silos created by its legacy system, increasing collaboration across
its global team and supporting compliance with complex regulations.

By integrating with existing systems, including the Oracle E-Business
Suite, Oracle Global Trade Management also enables to automate data
transaction processes, reducing the risk of manual errors and streamlining
reporting.

In addition, the search capabilities delivered by Oracle
Global Trade Management enable to further streamline processes by
reducing the time required to search for missing classification information.

Seagate went live on Oracle Global Trade Management 6.2 in January
2012, working with Wipro Technologies, a Diamond level member in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN)
and Oracle Consulting to complete the implementation on time and on budget.

"With customers in nearly
every country in the world, we needed to be able to streamline complex trade
management processes in order to ensure compliance with different global
regulations and requirements," said Michelle Scott-Horwitz, senior
director of international trade administration, Seagate. "Oracle Global Trade Management allows us the
flexibility and functionality to manage these multifaceted, global processes."

"Oracle Global Trade
Management provides a flexible and robust platform to manage complex global
trade business processes, which is crucial to the success of our company,"
said Pranab Sinha, VP of IT, Seagate. "Replacing
our previous system with Oracle Global Trade Management has allowed us to
reduce risk and increase efficiencies, while maintaining our commitment to
delivering the best possible service to our customers around the world."

"Wipro is very excited by
the potential benefits of the implementation of Oracle Global Trade Management
solution at Seagate, jointly with Oracle. It has provided better visibility,
ensured compliance mandates of the company’s complex cross border transactions
and improved overall process efficiency," said Biplab Adhya, VP,
business application services, Wipro Technologies.
