The primary reason being that IT is an enabler and not a fixer of business processes. <br />For example, <br />If the Inventory turnover ratio is low because of a possible demand forecasting error, implementing an ERP does not help <br />A Warranty Management which can improve an inefficient quality control process can lead to reduction in warranty expenses much more than any other IT solution <br />Likewise, for improper demand planning, scheduling for multiple product lines could be irregular and hHaving an MES software alone does not help remove these irregularities <br />Thus it is important to recognize that process is the core and IT the enabler! <br />Process should deliver the desired results, in a growing environment<br />Picture this - A car manufacturer in Detroit has a hood, deck, front doors and rear doors' supplier in Mexico. After years of pertinent efforts, the car manufacturer is now inching to precise the Just - in - time deliveries from the supplier. Now, in a rapidly changing world the car manufacturer is forced to source from China, assemble in India, and further sell in India and export to European markets. This means processes like purchasing, inventory, warranty, sales and marketing, new product development become complex and face multiple points of failure. Manufacturers are now faced with making these processes robust and scalable to ensure survival and sustainable growth. <br />Figure SEQ Figure ARABIC 1 : Process Integration<br />1.5KPIT Cummins for Process Optimization and Integration<br />KPIT is focused on serving the manufacturing industry as it understands that manufacturers are no more looking for technology solutions but process solutions.

At the same time, a company that predominantly does software development, despite of having good technology skills, will find it difficult to adjust to the nuances of tech support processes, as it is altogether a different ballgame.<br />Partner with KPIT and you will: <br />Get the best value for your engineering dollars. A significant percentage of tech support is a repeatable process. By outsourcing this activity to KPIT, you let your developers focus on new technology development and enable management focus on market development. <br />Reduced capital expenditure. Grow your business, not processes and overhead. We have the technology capabilities, state-of-art technology infrastructure and processes in place to ensure your success. This means reduced up-front expenses for you. Instead of tying up capital in a technical support infrastructure, you can focus that capital in areas with higher returns: creating new products, evolving new markets and more. <br />Reduce dependence on underlying technologies. It’s a challenge to find and retain skilled support personnel. By outsourcing operations to KPIT, you can enjoy reliable world-class support without having to attract expensive IT talent and reduce the need for expensive knowledge creation & management. <br />Speeding up your time-to-benefit. By leveraging KPIT’s end-to-end solution package and process migration expertise, you reduce any risk of moving offshore and can expect measurable high quality services, right from day one. <br />1.6 Work Culture<br />Our most valuable resource at KPIT, our People, join us from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds thereby bringing in a plethora of knowledge and experience. The best way to describe such a diverse Organization is through a single letter-“WE”. <br />An environment where words ‘I’ and ‘You’ crumble into insignificance and ‘WE’ evolves above them all. It is this spirit of “WE” - the urge to collectively make a difference and yet be recognized as an individual that drives our business and helps us excel in everything we do. <br />At KPIT Cummins, we nurture unique people practices that foster recognition at both individual and team level. Precisely why, you and your team never feel lost in a swarm of people here! It is a pleasure to see how this has evolved into a corporate culture characterized by fairness, equal opportunity, growth and personal satisfaction. <br />WE give you sufficient space to indulge into research and development, prospects and platforms to explore share your knowledge and above all ample opportunities to learn and expand your horizons.<br />The People DNA of KPIT Cummins<br />Whether it is a corporate, or a community, we believe that it’s the people who make an entire difference. Embedded in the DNA of KPIT are the seven core values CRICKET (Customer Focus, Respect for Individual, Integrity, Community Contribution, Knowledge Worship, Entrepreneurship & Innovation and Teamwork & Boundarylessness). Every KPIT is proud of these values and practices each of them as well; being technically sound and hard working is just a bonus. We are passionate about winning and enjoying each other’s successes. KPIT Cummins is a place where everyone is treated as an equal and yet the differences are respected. <br />Our quot;
Every Idea Countsquot;
approach encourages people to propose new ideas and suggestions - thus nurturing a profound sense of personal involvement in the company's business. The work culture is dedicated towards building happy communities by adding value to the personal as well as professional lives.<br />Chapter 2: Oracle Weblogic and Components<br />Owned by Oracle Corporation, Oracle WebLogic consists of a JavaEE platform product family that includes:<br />a JavaEE application server, WebLogic Application Server <br />an enterprise portal, WebLogic Portal <br />an Enterprise Application Integration platform <br />a transaction server and infrastructure, WebLogic Tuxedo <br />a telecommunication platform, WebLogic Communication Platform <br />an HTTP web server <br />2.1History<br />Prior to co-founding WebLogic, Inc., in September 1995, Paul Ambrose and Carl Resnikoff had developed (pre-JDBC) Oracle, Sybase, and Microsoft SQL Server database-drivers for Java under the name dbKona, as well as a quot;
three tierquot;
server to permit applets to connect to these databases.[1]<br />This WebLogic 1.48 server had the name T3Server (a bastardization of quot;
3-Tier Serverquot;
). Concurrently, Pitman and Pasker had worked on network-management tools written in Java. Pasker had written an SNMP stack in Java and a W32 native method for ICMP ping, while Pitman worked on applets to display the management data.<br />The 1.48 server version had (among other hidden features) the ability to extend it by modifying a dispatcher and adding a handler for different types of messages. Pasker talked Ambrose into sending him the source code for the server, and Pasker extended it so that applets could make SNMP and PING requests on the network, and display the results.<br />At this point, the founders worked together to pursue what eventually became the quot;
