Uli Werner, 16-Year SAP Veteran, to Contribute Expertise to Team
WASHINGTON, DC, April 11, 2007
Vision Chain, Inc. (www.visionchain.com), the market share leader in demand signal repository software for consumer products companies, announced today that Uli Werner, former SAP executive, has joined the Company's Advisory Board. Mr. Werner brings an august 16-year SAP career to the forefront of Vision Chain's accelerated market focus on delivering 360-degree supply chain visibility with its award-winning platform.
Mr. Werner held several executive management positions with SAP during his tenure there. He worked, with great success, directly with SAP's global CEO and senior executives. During his career at SAP, Mr. Werner touched on all major aspects of SAP's operating focus, including sales, research & development, implementation, and general management.
"The addition of Uli to our Advisory Board underscores our commitment to SAP as the right partner," said Shawn Dolley, Founder of Vision Chain. "Our customers want retailer downstream data in their SAP applications. Whether it's Advanced Planning & Optimization, Supply Network Collaboration, Master Data Management, or just Business Warehouse, we're delivering the composites to integrate. Uli helps us do it right, around the globe, from Walldorf to Palo Alto," he said.
Currently, Mr. Werner operates an IT consulting business based in the Washington metropolitan area that offers implementation services for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. He moved from Walldorf, Germany to Washington in 1998 to handle SAP's corporate relationship with the United States Government.
"Vision Chain and SAP are a natural fit," Mr. Werner explained. "I saw that immediately. Historically, SAP partners best with companies who cover targeted spaces at the edge of what SAP does. Vision Chain covers the biggest new ‘edge' space for the Consumer Products Industry Business Unit. With add-on upside in RFID, Pharma, and High Tech, Vision Chain hits multiple verticals for SAP to get their arms around."
