Rockwell Automation announced that it has acquired AVATA, a services provider for supply chain management, enterprise resource planning, and enterprise performance management solutions. AVATA has domain expertise in enterprise applications and is a prominent consultant and systems integrator for Oracle cloud software applications.
By helping to improve end-to-end supply chain visibility and management, AVATA, together with Kalypso, Rockwell Automation’s industrial digital transformation services business, will help to further increase the value of information technology/operational technology (IT/OT) convergence that Rockwell Automation can deliver to its customers. AVATA will be integrated into Kalypso, which is a part of Rockwell Automation’s Lifecycle Services business.
Kalypso and AVATA announced a formal partnership in March, joining forces to help customers further accelerate digital transformation initiatives with Oracle’s suite of cloud applications.
