Oracle has introduced its latest version of Oracle Strategic Network Optimization with some risk management features which are aimed at helping customers design and implement flexible, risk-tolerant supply chains.

According to a release by SDA Asia, Oracle Strategic Network Optimization delivers the insight companies require to optimize global supply chain operations and deploy improved risk mitigation strategies thus benefiting both Oracle Application customers, as well as companies using products such as SAP, i2 and Manugistics or other legacy systems.

Oracle Strategic Network Optimization enables organizations of all sizes to analyze the potential impact of supply chain disruptions, develop long-range plans and create holistic supply strategies to make more informed, profitable business decisions. Built-in scenario comparison views enable customers to perform comprehensive "what-if" analyzes in order to better establish pre-emptive measures that help mitigate potential supply chain risks. With insight into all of the data related to the supply chain, companies are equipped to make the most cost-effective and least risky decision for both short- and long-term profitability.

I think this new version (originally created by PeopleSoft) is a really good one beside i2 Strategist for people who are looking for network optimization packages.
