WTS Announces Reflexite Corporation is Honored with Oracle's "Enable the Eco-Enterprise" Award WTS, Inc., the leader in application hosting, managed disaster recovery planning, and colocation services for Oracle's JD Edwards applications, and their customer Reflexite Corporation have been recognized by Oracle with an "Enable the Eco-Enterprise" award. Seattle, WA and Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 17, 2009 WTS, Inc., the leader in application hosting, managed disaster recovery planning, and colocation services for Oracle's JD Edwards applications, and their customer Reflexite Corporation have been recognized by Oracle with an "Enable the Eco-Enterprise" award. This award recognizes Oracle customers and partners who rely on Oracle Applications and/or Technology products to support their green business practices and sustainability initiatives to reduce their environmental impact, while improving business efficiencies and reducing costs. Reflexite's nomination for this award also cited their contributions to improved operational resource utilization by leveraging JD Edwards EnterpriseOne in a hosted environment. Rather than build, house, and operate an ERP data and server center, Reflexite partners with WTS to deliver JD Edwards EnterpriseOne with fewer resources and reduced energy consumption. Also recognized with Reflexite and WTS is Andrews Consulting Group, who installed the JD Edwards software at Reflexite. "Reflexite is in the midst of a transformation on many fronts," said Dr. Michael Foley, President and CEO of Reflexite. "We are launching a new business called Reflexite Energy Solutions, which will produce optical components and films for customers in the solar energy, display, and lighting markets. Our products will reduce energy consumption, generate clean energy, or make electro-optical systems operate more efficiently. At the same time, we are trying to make our business more efficient and reduce our carbon footprint. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne enables us to generate less paper, reduce waste, and increase operating efficiencies." Applicants for the Enable the Eco-Enterprise award demonstrated how Oracle products improved the efficiency of their organization by helping them cut out waste, use resources productively, and minimize their carbon footprint. Reflexite illustrated their eco-efficiency by reducing paper usage and manufacturing waste, improving management of fuel consumption for transportation and warehouse operations, and reducing power consumption of their information technology solution by leveraging the energy management and equipment virtualization strategies deployed by WTS. "Outsourcing with a provider who has a focus on energy efficiency demonstrates a corporate awareness of the conservation issues of the 21st century," states Tom Hughes, President and CEO of WTS. "As an energy conscious outsourcing provider, WTS is taking proactive measures to reduce energy consumption in our daily multi-customer business operations. We demonstrate energy reductions by using more efficient server hardware, virtualization of hardware within the enterprise, and by working with our energy provider to identify other energy saving measures." The awards were presented at Oracle OpenWorld by Mr. Jeff Henley, Chairman of Oracle. The 15 winning companies were selected by a panel of six judges, which included four Oracle green experts along with influential industry leaders from Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) and National Geographic Education Programs. "The world's leading organizations are embracing environmental initiatives as a central part of their business strategy," said Oracle Chairman, Jeff Henley. "While these initiatives are driven by a diverse range of business objectives, including the desire to protect the environment, reduce costs or produce eco-friendly goods to meet growing consumer demand, the one constant is the central role for Information Technology. This is why Oracle is acknowledging its customers' environmental leadership with the "Enable the Eco-Enterprise" awards as environmental initiatives are not only good for the environment, but ultimately good for business overall." WTS customers experience greater benefit and value from their JD Edwards investments by leveraging WTS'
