SYSPRO Releases New Document Management Software for Mid-Market Manufacturers



Furthers 'Green ERP' Leadership with PragmaVision-Style Solution for Compliance Rules

COSTA MESA, Calif. - April 24, 2008 - SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP for the manufacturing pragmatist, has announced the availability of Document Management for SYSPRO, a cost-effective, "green-minded" solution set that enables mid-market manufacturers to gain new cost and time efficiencies while addressing regulatory compliance mandates. The new software continues SYSPRO's foray into innovations which provide environmentally friendly options for businesses; in this case aimed at growth-oriented visionary businesses who want to reduce paper, as well as gain new efficiencies.

Document Management for SYSPRO, which is optionally available with enhanced workflow features, enables organizations to access, manage and automate the routing of all digital content, including scanned paper documents, e-mails, faxes, print streams, application files, e-forms, Web content and multimedia files. The solution is holistically embedded into SYSPRO's standard ERP solution set, enabling workers to access and manage these documents directly from their work screens - without leaving their applications. This increases usability and reduces extra steps.

"The manufacturing sector continues to be pressured by a number of cost and efficiency factors that SYSPRO has deep vertical market experience in addressing," said Joey Benadretti, president of SYSPRO USA. "We have always been focused on opportunities to automate activities and reduce production schedules, but we increasingly are adding new efficiencies for addressing areas like FDA and Sarbanes-Oxley regulatory accountability. We are also responding to industry requests to factor 'green thinking' into our offerings. Document Management for SYSPRO is yet another step in this direction, making giant strides in helping to save paper, which, of course, in turn reduces the need to cut down trees, saving our forests."

Document Management for SYSPRO also provides an inherent document trail that protects and verifies the integrity and security of unstructured documents. Annotations can be added to all documents, and revisions of internal documents can be produced/altered as required. The additional Workflow option provides the ability to configure document-centric electronic workflows to route documents according to pre-defined rules and with ad-hoc decision opportunities.

Medical Products Manufacturer Gains Efficiencies

Dioptics Medical Products, a producer of sunglasses, reading glasses and associated eye care products and accessories headquartered in San Luis Obispo, Calif., is using the new solution to automate labor-intensive Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and project maintenance schedules. The company reports the following benefits:

Documents are instantly available with role-based security set-up via a simple mouse click;

Remote vendors can access engineering drawings from the Web;

User interface options for document retrieval mimic the way users work, enabling users to find documents using custom queries, folders, cross-references or keywords;

Automatic notifications and keyword load balancing in the ECO workflow distribute work to appropriate vendors and staff, eliminating the need to manually e-mail documents and confirmations; and

Version control access provides document history to ensure that vendors have viewed the correct documents and annotate their acceptance and review cycles.

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 who are driven by a desirefor smart, but aggressive market growth.
