HighJump Software, a 3M company, a global leader in providing supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, today announced that Oracle has validated the integration between HighJump's solutions and PeopleSoft Enterprise Supply Chain Management 8.9. By linking its Warehouse Advantage and Data Collection Advantage solutions with PeopleSoft 8.9, HighJump now offers the first validated integration of supply chain execution software with PeopleSoft.

This achievement stems from the ongoing relationship between HighJump Software and PeopleSoft solutions. The companies have collaborated since 1996 to design, develop and continually integrate to enhance their respective product offerings. It also represents another chapter in HighJump's history of being the only Oracle Certified Software Partner offering validated and tested integrations for all releases of PeopleSoft Enterprise Supply Chain Management, starting with version 7.5.

With a proven solution that seamlessly connects with PeopleSoft Enterprise 8.9 Supply Chain Management, HighJump solutions can help companies cut both the time and cost of integrating their supply chain infrastructure. The integration team validated over 50 transactions and integration touch points between PeopleSoft's and HighJump's solutions through PeopleSoft's standard XML interface.

"HighJump's rigorous commitment to integration with PeopleSoft Enterprise Supply Chain Management solutions has been outstanding," said Mark Israelsen, vice president, Applications Partnering Strategy, Oracle.

"We've been building our relationship with PeopleSoft for a long time and have provided great value for our many joint customers," said Chris Heim, president, HighJump Software. "We're excited about extending this relationship to Oracle and bringing outstanding value to Oracle's supply chain customers."
