Serus Expands Its Intelligent Operations Management Solution to Include Support for OEMs, IDMs and Contract Manufacturers

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Serus Corporation, a global provider of technology and managed services for companies with distributed or outsourced manufacturing operations, today announced the expansion of its Intelligent Operations Management product offering to include support for high-tech OEMs, IDMs and Contract Manufacturers. This expansion augments Serus’ highly recognized semiconductor business activities, and uniquely connects the complete ecosystem, providing greater end-to-end visibility, decision making and compliance.

With a continued industry trend towards outsourcing, companies need greater collaboration and ability to manage complex global programs. This requires the right information, at the right time, in the right place, and in the right context. Research has shown that more than 50% of key information needed for enhanced decision making resides outside the four walls of any one company, and is found in disparate systems within partners, customers and suppliers. Often this information is contained in spreadsheets.

Serus’ Intelligent Operations Management (IOM) solution uniquely joins the ecosystem partners by providing greater visibility, collaboration, improved decision making and compliance. Serus’ High-Tech product offering includes: global demand aggregation, operations execution, B2B connectivity, and process management solutions to allow OEMs, EMS/ODM/CM organizations, and distributors to share key information in order to optimize customer service levels, reduce inventory, and increase margins.

Serus’ award-winning IOM product suite has been in production since 2001 at over 45 marquee High-Tech and semiconductor companies including AMD, Cisco, Flextronics, Avnet, Spansion and Entropic Communications.

To better support this market opportunity, Serus has created a new business unit exclusively focused on serving the High-Tech market. This business unit brings together sales, marketing, product development, and support activities as a focused group.

The new Serus High-Tech Business Unit is headed by Neil Mitchell, an industry veteran of the High-Tech manufacturing industry. Mitchell has held executive roles in sales, strategy, marketing, business development, and consulting in a variety of global enterprise software companies, and conducted business domestically and internationally.

“We are receiving great interest from the High-Tech community for our product offering,” said Indu Navar, CEO, Serus Corporation. “Together with the product appeal and strong ROI testimonials from our customers, we have a platform to leverage for success. We are excited to have Neil on board to drive this fast moving segment.”

“Serus’ vision and solutions are completely aligned with the High-Tech market needs,” said Neil Mitchell. “I'm delighted to be part of Serus team, and drive the next level of company growth.”
