Emagia Helps Zebra Technologies Manage Collections More Efficiently

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 27, 2001 - Emagia Corporation, the cash flow management software company, today announced that Zebra Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ZEBRA), a leader in bar code labeling solutions and instant-issuance plastic card printing, is using Emagia Collaborative Finance Suite to manage accounts receivables from its customers.

Zebra uses Emagia Collaborative Finance Suite for customer portfolio management and aging analysis. Zebra collections staff also takes advantage of Emagia Collaborative Finance Suite's task prioritization tools to manage day-to-day activities more effectively.

"We chose Emagia for its high-level functionality, which brings powerful collaboration and automation to our accounts receivables department," said Todd Naughton, Zebra Technologies vice president and controller. "Emagia's e-business capabilities also offer Zebra important connectivity and management solutions."

For Zebra, one of the most important features of Emagia Collaborative Finance Suite is its deductions management solution. The workflow-enabled process involves Zebra staff from receivables, sales, credit and customer service, all working in a collaborative environment to resolve issues faster and more efficiently.

In addition, Emagia Collaborative Finance Suite integrated smoothly into Zebra's existing BaaN ERP system. With Emagia's standard BaaN adapters, Zebra staff was able to easily implement Emagia's solution.

"Our challenge was to procure a system and technology that would allow us to implement e-business concepts while seamlessly integrating with our existing BaaN ERP infrastructure," said Randy Whitchurch, CFO of Zebra Technologies.

"Once we understood Zebra's existing processes and needs in receivables management, we were able to implement an effective e-business solution that provided Zebra with a quick ROI," said Harnish Kanani, Emagia vice president of business development. "Our phased rollout of Emagia Collaborative Finance Suite helped Zebra maximize its efficiency in multiple areas of accounts receivables."

"The turnkey nature of the implementation allowed us to minimize the demands placed on our IT resources for the day-to-day project management, implementation and integration with our BaaN system," said Theresa Williams, Zebra Technologies corporate credit manager. "Emagia's unique combination of product expertise and BaaN expertise made it easier to get an integrated solution implemented in a relatively short time."
