SYSPRO USA CEO Brian Stein Named "Visionary" by Start-IT Magazine
COSTA MESA, Calif. - June 13:SYSPRO USA, a leading producer of enterprise software for SMB manufacturers and distributors, has announced that SYSPRO USA CEO Brian Stein is among the ten individuals recently honored by START-IT magazine as being "CEO Visionaries." The ten appear on Start-IT's fourth annual CEO Visionaries list, which is featured in the May issue of Start-IT Magazine. Start-IT editors selected the ten for "inspiring optimism" and "having the gusto for helping manufacturers prosper." According to Start-IT Publisher Peggy Smedley, "These champions of technology perpetuate a rare confidence that permeates their customers and is breathing new life into an industry that has weathered many storms."
The visionaries were selected from nominees submitted by customers who were asked to submit the names of "industry leaders that recognize the efficiencies of information technology and how they will dramatically impact the bottom lines of their customers."
Said Smedley, "All of the [visionary] CEOs this year have one thing in common. They admit there's no substitute for good business fundamentals and customer satisfaction, and they all have an overwhelming desire to manage and improve customer relationships through the use of a sound technological strategy. Many of the CEOs being honored are well-known leaders who have been at the helm of their technology companies for many years."
Stein made the visionaries list for spearheading the development of the SYSPRO Implementation Methodology, STARS (Structured Technique to Achieve A Rapid Solution.) STARS guides those involved in the implementation of SYSPRO software and provides a framework by which business practices can be examined and re-energized to maximize overall operational efficiency. In this manner, says Stein, the customer is able to achieve a lean environment, enabling it to realize a faster ROI (return on investment) and take full advantage of the software.
According to Stein, who says he is overwhelmed with the honor of being named a visionary, "While understanding processes lays a good foundation for an ERP (enterprise resource planning) implementation, the product still has to work."
Stein is quoted in the May issue of Start-IT as noting, "While the software industry has seen massive consolidation during the past few years, SYSPRO's experienced channel and focused product line give the company a competitive advantage over the largest players. Many SYSPRO customers are owner-managers, and SYSPRO, better understands their needs. As a private, independent company with customers in more than 60 countries, SYSPRO today is a highly agile organization able to impart a similar agility to its customers, which include small-to-medium size manufacturers and distributors as well as divisions of large companies.
"SYSPRO remains dedicated to offering its midmarket customers technologically superior solutions characteristic of the high end of the market, but at prices the midmarket can afford."
