The honors follow SYSPRO’s recently being named a 2008 finalist in the “Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Product of the Year” category for eWEEK Magazine’s Channel Insider’s Awards.

SYSPRO offers new software efficiencies that help make U.S. firms more competitive by reducing overhead and providing fast analytical capabilities and change capabilities for manufacturers and distributors. SYSPRO offers a single, integrated solution which includes the following solution set: ERP; Enterprise Relationship Management (ERM); Supply Chain Management (SCM); Customer Relationship Management (CRM); Business Activity Monitoring (BAM); Warehouse Management (WMS); Business Analytics; and eCommerce Solutions.

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

SYSPRO EARNING LEADERSHIP FOR GREEN EFFORTS

SYSPRO was one of the first software vendors to recognize the necessity of reclaiming materials to help save the environment. Prior to the development of the SYSPRO Material Yield System (MYS), cut-shape manufacturers and distributors of metal and plastic sheets, rods and tubes often relegated the remnants left over from full cuts to landfills. SYSPRO MYS facilitates the reclamation of these remnants by sending them back to inventory from which future orders for less than full cuts can be filled.

“Every company can play a vital role in safeguarding environmentally critical resources, and it is important that software companies like SYSPRO fulfill the function of leading the way in helping customers address green related processes,” said Joey Benadretti, president SYSPRO USA.
