Glovia Background
Glovia's origins stem back to 1970, when it was founded as Xerox Computer Services (XCS), which then introduced Xerox Business Management (XBM), an in-house manufacturing and financial management applications. In 1984, XCS introduced XBMS application, an MRP II (manufacturing resource planning) and financial management software for high-volume discrete manufacturers with multiple plants, while in 1990, the vendor introduced Chess, one of the industry's first integrated client/server ERP systems and Glovia's progenitor. Fujitsu first became the Asian distributor of XCS in 1992, while McDonnell Douglas Information Systems (MDIS) acquired XCS in 1994, the same year Fujitsu also implemented the solution globally in over thirty of its factories. In the late 1990s, the vendor added a focus on different manufacturing environments and industry requirements. To that end, in 1995, MDIS jointly developed "Seiban" functionality (to be explained shortly) with Fujitsu. In 1998 it introduced projects and material supply solutions, while in 1999 it introduced automotive industry pertinent functionality.
In 1997, Fujitsu made significant equity in the entity by forming a joint venture with MDIS, whereby Glovia International was created. Following a few years of disappointing results, Glovia was fully acquired by major shareholder Fujitsu from the UK-based, former MDIS (now Northgate) in February 2000 (see GLOVIA to be Resuscitated (Hopefully)).
