SYSPRO Earns ''Hot Company'' Award by START-IT Magazine

COSTA MESA, Calif.--SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP for the manufacturing pragmatist, said today that START-IT Magazine has named the company to the highly exclusive list of “2008 Hottest Companies.” This marks the tenth consecutive year that SYSPRO has received the recognition, limited to just 25 companies worldwide.

SYSPRO made the “hot” list by offering a variety of applications that enable small and medium-sized manufacturers the ability to achieve Lean Manufacturing initiatives. These applications provide greater insights into costs, speed order turnaround, further “green initiatives” through paperless methodologies and enhance customer service. For example, SYSPRO’s Fluid Interface Design greatly simplifies information retrieval by utilizing common actions, like drag and drop, to move or create, delete and/or restore information fields; tailor forms; move items to background status and/or perform other personalized interfaces that can improve performance accuracy.

“The companies who have been named ‘hot’ this year are among the leading-edge technology providers within manufacturing. These innovative companies are driving manufacturing solutions into the next generation,” said Peggy Smedley, editorial director of START-IT. “As the manufacturing industry evolves, so must the technology companies that provide solutions to advanced manufacturers. The 25 winning companies this year are having a great impact on the manufacturing space as they strive to provide the most complete, innovative technology possible to their customers.”

SYSPRO’s more thoughtful approach to adopting new technology, such as web services and SOA platforms, also reflects the desires of its buyers who are driven by business needs and not by the latest headlines. This exemplifies SYSPRO’s ongoing strategy of helping to simplify the success of its customers. SYSPRO calls its buyer landscape “PragmaVision” ™ consisting of pragmatic, visionary ERP executives that are driven by a desire for smart, but aggressive market growth.
