The Challenge

Three and a half years ago, Philips Semiconductors, a division of Royal Philips Electronics and a global leader in semiconductor industry, started an eBusiness initiative to connect the company with its customers and distributors over the secure Internet portals.

PRO system was to be developed for Philips Semiconductors Channel Marketing sales organization in order to replace the old manual-fax-Excel-Access based systems used by various Philips partners and distributors. Distributors used to fill out the NEDA form manually and fax it to their Sales Reps. Sales Reps collected this information in Excel workbooks or Access databases and submitted to Philips management in periodic status reports.The format varied from Sales Rep to Sales Rep, so there was no easy way to get the total picture about Design Registration program.

The Solution

The PRO System allows Distributors to fill out the NEDA (National Electronic Distributors Association) form electronically through a secure extranet web application. All Design Registrations are stored in an Oracle database repository. Design Registrations are automatically routed to the Sales Rep offices and assigned to the appropriate territories. Sales Reps receive submitted Design Registrations and approve or reject them on-line. E-mail notifications are generated to all parties involved.

PRO system saves Philips and partners over $3M per year (source: Product Manager, Worldwide eBusiness).

Having all Design Registration activity going through the PRO system and gathered in the Oracle database allows Philips Regional Distributions Managers to have instant access to up-to-date Design Registration data.
Distribution Marketing Management has the ability to analyze Design Registration program data effectively using variety of queries and pivot table reports.
Distributors, Sales Reps, and Philips Management are able to conduct business electronically.

Data stored in the Oracle database makes analysis of the Design Registration Program very effective.
