“The support from Inspirage was awesome and the team was very, very helpful. They are truly experts in Oracle Agile PLM. They helped us not only to become compliant with Dodd-Frank, but they also helped us figure out a few other things we were struggling with and better realize a return on our investment in Agile.”

While the EICC has developed a simple Excel spreadsheet that suppliers can send to manufacturers to report all of their smelter data, this can be an overwhelming amount of data to review if you have thousands of suppliers. So for large public companies, the key is to get these data into a robust system that can analyze the data and identify suppliers who are not compliant. Given that NI was already using Oracle Agile PLM for the past eight years and added PG&C in 2012, Agile was the logical place to start. But they needed to figure out how they could adapt Agile for Conflict Mineral reporting. With a Conflict Mineral solution already developed for Agile PLM, NI quickly realized that Inspirage would be the ideal partner.
