Syspro Unveils New Brand, Software Release
One Company, One Vision, One Focus, One Encompassing Product
COSTA MESA, Calif. - October 10, 2002 -- Syspro has announced a new global brand, representing the culmination of more than a year-and-one-half of extensive market research and preparation. To optimize brand awareness and increase market penetration the company, "Syspro" and its product, IMPACT Encore, are now branded under the unified SYSPRO name, capitalizing on the company's 25-year heritage and world-class reputation.
According to CEO Phil Duff, Syspro enjoys one of the largest worldwide customer bases in the mid-market enterprise software segment. Research showed that many survey respondents identified the company by its product, IMPACT Encore, and others by the "Syspro" name. "SYSPRO is a leading global brand. A single brand identifier and unified belief set, vision and image are essential for the company to maintain itself as a dominant player in the worldwide software market," said Duff, adding, "Syspro will continue to leverage those qualities which differentiate the company's enterprise software, such as in-depth functionality, value, flexibility and ease-of-use."
As part of its branding strategy, Syspro will, in addition to those features which characterize the company's software, be promoting a new logo and vision statement: To help world-class companies increase their value through the use of our innovative and easy-to-use software - as well as those values which differentiate Syspro as a company: openness, responsiveness, reliability, and striving for excellence.
"The new logo symbolizes our modernized approach to an ever-demanding marketplace and to our energized and growing company that is committed to enhancing service to customers," said Duff.
Syspro announced the new branding at its 2002 International Reseller Conference in Stresa, Italy, September 26-30. The company also took the opportunity to announce its newest software release, SYSPRO 6.0. SYSPRO 6.0 has built-in core functionality for an integrated, end-to-end supply chain solution, including ERP, CRM, APS, E-Commerce and Warehouse Management.
New in SYSPRO 6.0 are Business Analytics, Document Flow Management, integrated CRM and Finite Scheduling.
Business Analytics enables users to create multi-dimensional views of their financial and operational data. Business Analytics includes a series of data mining cubes to produce dynamic, general and enterprise specific metrics, ratios and analyses. An administrator toolset allows for the manipulation of the cube(s) to suit customer requirements without any special On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) knowledge.
The Document Flow Manager allows a company to automate business processes and build communication infrastructures that facilitate seamless collaborative commerce. The Document Flow Manager automates the flow of business transactions as they electronically arrive at a company in a document format defined using XML. Inbound and outbound transactions can be tracked and posted directly and automatically into and from the ERP system.
SYSPRO CRM closes the gap between the front office and the back office by integrating all activities without duplicating input. With SYSPRO CRM sales, market and customer support operations work collaboratively to achieve total customer satisfaction. SYSPRO CRM offers powerful synchronization features and web tools to facilitate remote and off-line access via browser, laptop and web-enabled portable or handheld PDA devices.
SYSPRO APS provides planners with an easy-to-use finite scheduling tool aimed at improving lead times, increasing production flexibility, reducing inventory levels and speeding delivery times.
SYSPRO 6.0 brings to fruition years of development. Based on Microsoft® .NET architecture and XML standard, SYSPRO e.net solutions forms the foundation of SYSPRO 6.0. It is a component-based architecture that's designed to provide a highly cost-effective way for SYSPRO customers to integrate best-of-breed applications, maximize business-to-business trading and leverage wireless connectivity. It also provides the framework for a new generation of web-based applications. These new applications, developed using XML and the Microsoft. NET architecture, are fully customizable to meet customer requirements.
As well as ushering in a new generation of Web Services, SYSPRO 6.0 offers functional and ease of use enhancements to nearly all-existing SYSPRO modules. For example, SYSPRO 6.0 incorporates a Report Writer that now produces documents in XML format.
