SYSPRO Spotlights PragmaVision at Key Manufacturing Show
Leading 2-Day West Coast Conference Features Sustainable “Green” Practices;
SYSPRO Distributing New Report Geared to Pragmatic, Visionary SMB Organizations
Pacific Design & Manufacturing 2008
ANAHEIM, Calif.--SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP for the manufacturing pragmatist, announced that the company will spotlight its new PragmaVision market positioning and product capabilities at the Pacific Design & Manufacturing (PD&M) Show here in Anaheim, Calif., Jan 29 – 31. The show is the largest advanced design and manufacturing event on the West Coast and focuses on manufacturing implementation, profitability and best practices from the market leaders.
This year’s PD&M event will feature a two-day tandem conference on Green Manufacturing, an area where SYSPRO has previously been honored for its efforts in environmental protection practices. In 2003, SYSPRO won a Certificate of Recognition from the State of California for its Material Yield System. The award was part of the Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership commission. Since then, SYSPRO has won more than two dozen additional industry awards for product quality, customer satisfaction, technology and product innovation.
SYSPRO is attending the event to target the new IT buyer category that it calls “PragmaVision” – the pragmatic buyer looking for mid-market ERP solutions that are visionary with proven technology. These buyers demand a unique combination of robust, scalable yet current technologies that provide zero risk and high return.
The company’s executives also will be making available a newly released IDC1 Vendor Spotlight Report, “Pragmatic Yet Visionary ERP Requirements Driving Manufacturing” (January, 2008). The report addresses the needs of SMB (Small-Medium Business) manufacturers and why they must look to “proven ERP systems specifically built to the specification of smaller, pragmatic visionary organizations.”
SYSPRO provides a wide variety of feature/functionality for small- to mid-market manufacturing and distribution companies, including: Financial Controls; Sales; Purchasing; Inventory Control; Customer Relationship Management; MRP/Production Control; Distribution; Inventory Optimization; Planning and Scheduling; Business Analytics; Lean; Compliance; EDI; Projects and Contracts; and Product Configuration, among others. All modules are based on standard XML formats for information exchange, and Web service technologies for maximum interoperability between disparate systems.
“Our ERP solutions are designed to appeal to C-level executives who are cost-conscious, but also results-oriented,” said Joey Benadretti, president, SYSPRO USA. “These executives are visionary, but practical, and want solutions that take a thoughtful approach to adopting new technology, such as Web services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) – delivering real business value today while providing a bridge to future innovations.”
SYSPRO’s Material Yield System, which received the prior “Green” Award, automates the calculation and decision process required to fulfill custom cut orders. The system makes automatic yield calculations to maximize cuts from full sheets, rods or tubes and then facilitates the return of scraps to inventory, where they can be re-cut and processed. The system can automatically create new part numbers and pricing for the scraps returned to stock and can fill custom orders from existing inventory, inventory at another branch, via purchasing of material from another vendor, or a combination of each. It is extremely efficient in its re-use of materials.
SYSPRO’s more thoughtful approach to adopting new technology, such as web services and SOA platforms, reflects the desires of its buyers, who are driven by business needs, and not by the latest headlines. SYSPRO calls its buyer landscape “PragmaVision” ™ -- pragmatic, but visionary ERP executives (pragmatists) that are driven by a desire for smart, but aggressive market growth.
