New Syspro Solution Maximizes Operational/Profit Controls



Mid-Market Medical Device and Electronics Manufacturers Gain Planning Edge Via 'SYSPRO Projects and Contracts' Software Module

COSTA MESA, Calif. - November 14, 2007 -- SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP solutions for the manufacturing pragmatist, announced today the availability of SYSPRO Projects and Contracts, a new software solution that provides greater operational control and profit optimization capabilities to mid-market manufacturers. The new product is the result of extensive internal research of SYSPRO's medical device and electronics customers and prospects who say that competitive software offerings are falling short of market requirements.

SYSPRO Project and Contracts offers a variety of robust costing/profit tracking methodologies that enables companies to assign costs, monitor profits and make necessary adjustments at various stages of project and contract planning. These methodologies include the assigning of multiple jobs to a contract; estimating cost and revenue levels for specific tasks and jobs; attaching purchase order, labor and materials projections; and applying payment deposits specifically against contracted planning/production milestones.

SYSPRO Projects and Contracts enables manufacturers to match appropriate resources to the most profitable areas within a job, as well as identify and adjust lagging profitability metrics. By comparing real-time, actual and committed costs, versus those tied to projected future activities, manufacturers gain a significant bottom-line operational advantage and fewer surprises at quarterly financial closes.

"In our highly competitive vessel motions control industry, we have gained a significant advantage by using SYSPRO Projects and Contracts," said Trish Lane, controller of VT Maritime Dynamics, a world leader in the development of marine motion control solutions for the international fast ferry and high performance military craft sectors. "It allows us to analyze costs and revenues at each contract control level and make timely adjustments that can significantly impact our bottom line."

SYSPRO Projects and Contracts also enables manufacturers to issue a wide variety of detailed reports for jobs and/or contracts that extend over specific or extended periods of time. Sophisticated, role-based analytics also provide for customized information needs and secure information channels for making organizational change.

SYSPRO e.net solutions allows many SYSPRO customers to embed SYSPRO Projects and Contracts into their applications to enhance utilization. This is an example of SYSPRO's more thoughtful approach to adopting new web services and SOA platforms, reflecting the cautionary desires of its mid-market manufacturing and distribution company customers who are driven by business needs and not by the latest headlines.

SYSPRO calls its buyer landscape "PragmaVision"(TM) -- pragmatic, but visionary ERP executives that are driven by a desire for smart, but aggressive market growth.
