SYSPRO joins Microsoft Technology Adoption Program
Invitation to Beta-Test Windows Workflow Foundation Follows Successful Pairing on .NET Development.
JOHANNESBURG-January 13, 2010 - SYSPRO, a leading, worldwide provider of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, today announced that the company has accepted an invitation to join the Microsoft Technology Adoption Program (TAP) and is currently working with Microsoft on the development of the Windows Workflow Foundation, which provides a programming model, in-process workflow engine and re-hostable designer to implement long-running processes as workflows within .NET applications. The TAP is designed to provide a consistent experience for Microsoft partners to obtain real-world customer feedback on Microsoft pre-release products.
According to Phil Duff, SYSPRO CEO, "SYSPRO, a Microsoft Gold Partner and former Microsoft Developer of the Year, has enjoyed a close working relationship with Microsoft, as evidenced by the concurrent development of Microsoft.NET and SYSPRO e.net solutions." When .NET was released in 2000, a Microsoft manager, in fact, referred to SYSPRO as the ".NET Poster Child."
Microsoft selected SYSPRO to be a part of the TAP after seeing the amazing work SYSPRO had done developing the new .NET-based Workflow module embedded within the award winning SYSPRO ERP solution. As a participant in the Microsoft TAP, SYSPRO will provide feedback as well as suggested software enhancements during Microsoft's developmental phases.
SYSPRO Workflow Services is part of SYSPRO 6.1, being introduced in early 20l0. SYSPRO Workflow Services provides users with an easier way to orchestrate or execute the complex processing of data in a visual form, much like flow charts, but without the need to understand computers or programming.
According to Duff, "The Workflow solution for SYSPRO is deeply embedded in the SYSPRO product, meaning the workflow processes can be initiated from anywhere in SYSPRO." The advantages of a .NET-based workflow solution are also numerous, says Duff, including greater flexibility, improved process controls and the easy development of .NET associated programs to augment business processes.

SYSPRO ERP - Choice of award-winning theatrical lighting producer
SYSPRO ERP - Choice of award-winning theatrical lighting producer
City Theatrical Opts for SYSPRO Over Infor, Epicor, Made to Manage; SYSPRO PragmaVisionTM Approach Key
COSTA MESA, Calif. - January 14, 2010 - SYSPRO, a leading, worldwide provider of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), has today announced that the company has won a new contract with City Theatrical, a Carlstadt, New Jersey-based lighting accessories manufacturer and winner of 30 product and business awards in the last thirteen years. SYSPRO prevailed in a direct compete against Infor, Epicor and Made to Manage, via SYSPRO re-seller Edgeware Computers of Marietta, Ga.
According to Scott Tiede, City Theatrical Manufacturing Manager, the company had contemplated the implementation of integrated ERP software for more than 10 years; however, the decision to seek a solution was precipitated by recent growth. In 2007 City Theatrical expanded to a 40,000 sq. ft. facility in Carlstadt, New Jersey, from a 10,000 sq/ft Bronx, NY facility, and in 2008 the company opened a London, UK sales office. During the same time period, City Theatrical also invested more than $500,000 in capital equipment, including a powder coat line, a SMT (Surface Mount) line for in-house PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assembly and stamping/punching capabilities.
"Our current systems were just not up to the task of running a streamlined, highly responsive manufacturing organization in the lighting and entertainment industry," said Tiede, noting that departments within City Theatrical had been relying on a variety of software solutions, including QuickBooks; Parts &Vendor; Invoice Store; and ACT. During the search for an integrated ERP solution, City Theatrical looked at Infor Visual, Epicor Vantage and Made to Manage. However, SYSPRO's PragmaVisionTM Approach was key to the company's selection. Explains Tiede: "We selected SYSPRO because of the established history of the SYSPRO product and confidence in the SYSPRO implementation methodology, STARS."
In addition to superior insight into company operations, City Theatrical is looking to SYSPRO to manage both raw materials and finished goods inventories. Tiede notes, "We would like to increase our inventory turns to 10-12 over all. We are currently at about 7.8 for finished goods and maintain a 98% order fill rate."
Derek Jenkins, Edgeware President, recalls, "The selection process by the City Theatrical team was extremely thorough, and the choice of SYSPRO was only finalized after extensive comparisons between the competing products. This once again demonstrates the strengths and superior functionality of SYSPRO over the other competitors in the mid-market range of ERP software."

SYSPRO ERP - Choice of award-winning theatrical lighting producer
SYSPRO ERP - Choice of award-winning theatrical lighting producer
City Theatrical Opts for SYSPRO Over Infor, Epicor, Made to Manage; SYSPRO PragmaVisionTM Approach Key
COSTA MESA, Calif. - January 14, 2010 - SYSPRO, a leading, worldwide provider of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), has today announced that the company has won a new contract with City Theatrical, a Carlstadt, New Jersey-based lighting accessories manufacturer and winner of 30 product and business awards in the last thirteen years. SYSPRO prevailed in a direct compete against Infor, Epicor and Made to Manage, via SYSPRO re-seller Edgeware Computers of Marietta, Ga.
According to Scott Tiede, City Theatrical Manufacturing Manager, the company had contemplated the implementation of integrated ERP software for more than 10 years; however, the decision to seek a solution was precipitated by recent growth. In 2007 City Theatrical expanded to a 40,000 sq. ft. facility in Carlstadt, New Jersey, from a 10,000 sq/ft Bronx, NY facility, and in 2008 the company opened a London, UK sales office. During the same time period, City Theatrical also invested more than $500,000 in capital equipment, including a powder coat line, a SMT (Surface Mount) line for in-house PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assembly and stamping/punching capabilities.
"Our current systems were just not up to the task of running a streamlined, highly responsive manufacturing organization in the lighting and entertainment industry," said Tiede, noting that departments within City Theatrical had been relying on a variety of software solutions, including QuickBooks; Parts &Vendor; Invoice Store; and ACT. During the search for an integrated ERP solution, City Theatrical looked at Infor Visual, Epicor Vantage and Made to Manage. However, SYSPRO's PragmaVisionTM Approach was key to the company's selection. Explains Tiede: "We selected SYSPRO because of the established history of the SYSPRO product and confidence in the SYSPRO implementation methodology, STARS."
In addition to superior insight into company operations, City Theatrical is looking to SYSPRO to manage both raw materials and finished goods inventories. Tiede notes, "We would like to increase our inventory turns to 10-12 over all. We are currently at about 7.8 for finished goods and maintain a 98% order fill rate."
Derek Jenkins, Edgeware President, recalls, "The selection process by the City Theatrical team was extremely thorough, and the choice of SYSPRO was only finalized after extensive comparisons between the competing products. This once again demonstrates the strengths and superior functionality of SYSPRO over the other competitors in the mid-market range of ERP software."
