ORIX Australia is part of the global ORIX Group, one of the world's largest non-bank financial institutions with 1,175 offices in 23 countries. ORIX Australia employs over 500 people and manages in excess of $2 billion in assets locally.

The Company provides asset and risk management solutions for businesses, including fleet services, truck and trailer rental, equipment leasing, property finance and cash flow finance. ORIX Australia customers use these products to minimise cost and risk associated with ownership, borrowing and leasing of assets to realise more from their business.

ORIX Australia has chosen SeeBeyond's eGate(tm) Integrator, eView(tm) Studio and eInsight(tm) Business Process Manager - all components of the SeeBeyond ICAN Suite - to build a new composite application that will enable a single view of all interactions with each of its customers. Implemented utilising Web services, this composite application will assist ORIX Australia in cost-effectively consolidating disparate customer information and transactional data in real time.

"Using the SeeBeyond software to consolidate our customer information will allow us to make informed decisions about how we manage relationships with our customers. This has relevance across our entire organisation, from marketing to sales and customer service to risk management," said John Carter, executive director group operations for ORIX Australia.

"In today's business environment, vital information is distributed throughout the enterprise via disparate systems such as CRM, ERP, billing, eCommerce and customer support," adds Kevin O'Reilly, vice president of Asia Pacific for SeeBeyond. "These systems typically use their own unique record identifiers, making it difficult to create a single, reliable view of information across the organisation. Through composite application development, SeeBeyond ICAN 5 is enabling global organisations like ORIX to better leverage existing assets while driving added value through improved business process management."
