Syspro Pioneering SOA Efforts 'Paying Off' for Customers


Leading Research Firm Cites SYSPRO Ability to Deliver SOA to Midmarket;
Pragmatic, Yet Visionary ERP Solution Helps Mid-Market Manufacturers/Distributors

COSTA MESA, Calif. - November 5, 2008 -- SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP for the manufacturing pragmatist, today announced the company has once again been cited by AMR Research for its ability to deliver cost-savings, efficiency-building Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to small and mid-sized manufacturers and distributors. The report, "An Early SOA Play Is Paying Off for SMBs and SYSPRO," was published by AMR Research on October 16, 2008.

"SYSPRO was one of the first ERP vendors to bring service-oriented architecture to the midmarket, using Microsoft's .NET technology and XML standards to drive interoperability with multiple applications," states Simon Jacobson, AMR Research Analyst, in the Report. "SYSPRO's technology allows companies to create custom composite applications by themselves, which is critical for budget-conscious, midmarket buyers."

Manufacturing and distribution companies using SYSPRO gain the ability to easily derive, integrate, analyze and report from data sourced from both SYSPRO and non-SYSPRO applications. Additionally, the company has recently introduced a new Power Tailoring Bundle that provides business users with unprecedented levels of tailoring capabilities to view and leverage only the data they are interested in. This better "visibility" can both short circuit cost, inventory or supply issues...and provide companies with a fast response option to mitigate economic pressures.

This latest recognition of SYSPRO SOA leadership is the second by AMR Research in as many years. In an April 5, 2006, AMR Research article, "SOA May Be an Early Hit in the Midmarket," SYSPRO was named by author Dennis Gaughan as one of two vendors on the "forefront" of SOA technology.

SYSPRO showcases the ability of SYSPRO Enterprise Software to serve as the foundation for SOA in the book, "SYSPRO on SOA -- A Guide to Service Oriented Architecture." The 200 page book, written by noted technical author and information architect Sean Wheller, describes SOA in-depth and its importance as a competitive tool for businesses of all sizes. The book cites examples of how SYSPRO software has enabled various types of businesses around the globe to integrate people, processes and strategic information to maximize operational efficiencies, enhance the customer experience and facilitate growth.

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,"(TM) consisting of pragmatic, visionary ERP executives that are driven by a desire for smart, but aggressive market growth.
