About Oracle E-Business Suite and Avizo
Oracle E-Business Suite is a fully integrated, comprehensive suite of business applications which
give companies the industry-specific capabilities they need to adapt to change and compete more
effectively. Whether companies implement one module at a time, multiple modules or the complete
suite, Oracle E-Business Suite gives better business information for more effective decision-making
and greater flexibility. It enables companies to protect existing investment, extend the value
of their applications and evolve to the next generation of business applications.
Avizo is Saga’s integrated business information system (ERP) developed in Oracle technologies.
It is a modern business solution designed for management of medium and large companies.
Avizo provides accurate information on all aspects of business operations and a significant
improvement in quality of management. Implementation of Avizo system increases the efficiency
of the entire business and releases previously unused potential of the organization. It covers
all business processes, and consists of 33 modules grouped in 8 subsystems (Finance,
Human Resources, Warehouse and Procurement, Sales, Production, Maintenance, Administration
and E-business).
