COSTA MESA, Calif.--Aug. 10, 2006--SYSPRO, a leading producer of enterprise software for smaller- and medium-size manufacturers and distributors, announced that START-IT Magazine has named SYSPRO a "2006 Hot Company." This marks the eighth year that SYSPRO has received recognition from the publication as one of the "hottest" companies in the industry. START-IT's editorial team judged hundreds of entries and selected only 40 manufacturing solution providers as "Hot."
According to START-IT Editor-in-Chief John Buell, "Being named a 'Hot' company is a true testament of the dedication and forward-thinking technology approach toward providing manufacturers with the solutions they need to be efficient as well as competitive in today's economy."
Said START-IT on the naming of SYSPRO: "SYSPRO has proven year after year that manufacturers don't have to purchase their technology from a behemoth software company in order to have the kind of functionality required to conduct business in a fast-moving global economy.
"What makes SYSPRO hot is that it never stops thinking about what's best for its customers ... SYSPRO has been able to deliver the goods without resorting to purchasing other software companies. Its decision to remain independent allows it to focus intensely on its products and not worrying about the next quarter's financial numbers."
Joey Benadretti, president, SYSPRO USA, said of the honor: "We are, of course, delighted that our ongoing efforts to provide leading-edge software to the manufacturing and distribution communities have again been recognized by START-IT. SYSPRO continues to 'sizzle' as a company dedicated to innovation and 'translating' technology so that it can be easily leveraged by businesses."
SYSPRO continues to introduce innovative software solutions to give smaller- and medium-size manufacturers and distributors the ability to compete on an equal basis with the largest companies in their respective industries. The following are among these recent introductions:
SYSPRO CyberStore, a next-generation e-commerce application, further extends the concept of SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) to the application of B2B and B2C trading.
SYSPRO CRM 5.0 adds hundreds of new features and functionalities to SYSPRO Customer Relationship Management software, an enterprise-class software system that enables a business to manage internal resources, customer, supplier and prospect relationships, marketing campaigns, sales opportunities as well as service contracts and incidents within a single CRM/SRM program.
SYSPRO 6.0, Issue 010, shortly available, offers ground-breaking enhancements that provide deeper functionality in the core SYSPRO ERP product - Manufacturing, Finance and Distribution - and throughout the entire SYSPRO enterprise software offering. This latest release introduces new modules as well as new customization capabilities that empower users to tailor the software to their individual requirements, thereby maximizing utilization and interaction to achieve even greater levels of business efficiency.
