SYSPRO PARTNER DATACCOUNT TO PRESENT SYSPRO ERP SOLUTION AT ATLANTIC DESIGN & MANUFACTURING SHOW IN NEW YORK CITY

SYSPRO ERP Can Be Easily Configured to Fit Current/Future Operations

 NEW YORK. – June 4, 2014 – Dataccount, a leading East Coast supplier of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, today announced that they will be showcasing the SYSPRO ERP solution at the Atlantic Design & Manufacturing Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.  Russell Frost, known in the blogosphere as “Mr. ERP,” a seasoned ERP specialist and the Dataccount Principal Officer, will be on hand to discuss how the careful selection of Enterprise Resource Planning software enables small and mid-size manufacturing entities to enhance operational efficiencies and prosper in a constantly changing economy.  Frost can be seen on Dataccount’s YouTube channel, “Mr. ERP Says” at:  http://sysprousa.com/mst_request/?id=29.

“Both SYSPRO and Dataccount have more than 50 years combined experience in ERP planning and implementation,” said Frost.  “The SYSPRO software is incredibly flexible. Since every business has developed their own processes that enable them to be successful and continue to grow, SYSPRO can be configured to mirror and improve present systems, and will meet future needs as well.”

Because SYSPRO can be tailored and configured to a manufacturer’s or distributor’s individual processes, SYSPRO will improve and manage those processes without forcing the company to relearn or rethink their business.  The Dataccount team will be representing the SYSPRO solution at booth number #312.

When I was a kid, I always loved this time of year. During the last weeks of summer, just as all of my friends were trying to forget the soon-to-be start of the school year, I would haunt the stationary stores that had “Back to School” sales. I just couldn’t wait!

I haven’t changed all that much – it’s still my favorite time of year. Because as Labor Day approaches and Autumn is near, more and more manufacturers and distributors are reviewing functions and procedures to become more effective and to drive business. And driving business is what effective ERP is all about.

I attended several tradeshows for manufacturers and distributors for a broad array of businesses this summer, and I kept hearing the same thing over and over again. Autumn is often a company’s most important calendar season, and more and more businesses said they will only succeed by working more efficiently, by streamlining processes and by integrating procedures.

For me, the best part of implementing SYSPRO ERP is sitting down with clients first and learning everything there is to learn about how they do business. These sessions, called JAD (Joint Application Design), are like the biggest, most extensive “What I Did for My Summer Vacation” tests in the entire world. Every facet of the business, from internal communications to shop-to-floor protocols to made-to-order procedures and everything in-between are reviewed to see how SYSPRO can manage – and improve – on them. It’s a mutual learning process that brings to mind my happiest moments at school.

So, to all the companies we’ve met this summer, and all those we will meet this Autumn, let’s crack the books and see how we can make your business more profitable.

I just got some fascinating news from SYSPRO – they have announced today that SYSPRO ERP software offers users the ability to access “hidden data” as well as “big data.”

We’ve heard a lot about “big data” in the news, but for manufacturers it’s a must to execute efficient and rapid product recalls.  Joey Benadretti, President of SYSPRO USA, said,  “While the utilization of ‘big data’ helps a company identify trends and chart future courses, the importance for numerous companies to have access to ‘hidden data’ cannot be overstated.  One of the underlying principles of basing business decisions on ‘big data’ is that the ability to access the volume, variety, and velocity of data tends to compensate for data errors.  But, manufacturers and distributors in a wide variety of industries, such as food, medical devices, automotive, pharmaceutical and others, must be able to connect and correlate relationships, hierarchies and multiple data linkages to facilitate the recall of products that may contain tainted ingredients or faulty parts that could cause harm or even death.  And, this is why SYSPRO ERP is the choice of many companies within these industries.”

SYSPRO lot traceability and serial tracking data affords extensive and precise visibility up or down the supply chain, as well as providing specific component to parent tracking, thereby providing the means to expedite recalls, should the need arise. SYSPRO optionally allows specific traceable components to be reserved for specific work-orders, as well as providing the flexibility of specifying the parent traceable numbers at the beginning, during or the end of the manufacturing process.  While the average cost of a recall to participating food and consumer product companies can run into millions of dollars, this number excludes the extensive human expense involved in the recalls. The ability and speed to collect the required data can cut recall time to hours rather than days or weeks and significantly reduce the costs of the recall.

It’s a fascinating way to conceptualize how SYSPRO is different from many other ERP products on the market.

The Dataccount team will be in Philadelphia the week of June 17th for the Atlantic Design & Manufacturing Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Over 18,000 manufacturers and distributors will be there, and we will discuss how the careful selection of Enterprise Resource Planning software enables small and mid-size manufacturing entities to enhance operational efficiencies and prosper in a constantly changing economy.

If I sound excited, it’s because I am! One key advantage of SYSPRO is that it is a single product company — it’s what SYSPRO has done for 30 years, and it’s what they’re going to continue to do. Another key advantage of working with SYSPRO is that the software is incredibly flexible. Every business has developed their own processes that enable them to be successful and continue to grow. Their present as well as future needs continue to be met within the SYSPRO solution.

We will be at booth 4300, and I hope that anyone in the Philadelphia area June 18-20 will stop by and say hello.

I also thought you’d like to know that SYSPRO ERP was just reviewed by Chuck Schaeffer of socialERP.com and described as “The Energizer Bunny of ERP Software … SYSPRO is a unique company offering a unique solution. It’s a company that flies under the radar for most, manages a single product and grows organically rather than by acquisition. It’s worked for over 30 years, and based on the company’s high customer retention, continued innovation and strong management team, it’s likely to continue for quite some time.” To read the complete Schaeffer review: click here.
We will post some pictures and notes from the convention when we return to New York!

SYSPRO is a strong solution for manufacturing and distribution and there are a number of advantages that SYSPRO provides over many other solutions.  One key advantage is that SYSPRO is a single product company: they make the SYSPRO solution and only the SYSPRO solution.  It’s what they’ve done for 30 years and it’s what they’re going to continue to do.  They have a very strong road map and a huge success rate in adapting and adopting new technologies and moving forward.  As a result, a company that makes an investment in SYSPRO will never be stranded, but will instead always be able to grow and move forward.

Another key advantage of working with SYSPRO is that the software is incredibly flexible.  Every business has developed their own processes that allows them to be successful and continue to grow and establish the market they’re in and with SYSPRO’s flexibility, your needs can be met within the software.

Because SYSPRO is able to be tailored  and configured to your processes, SYSPRO can help improve and manage those processes, without forcing a company to relearn or rethink their business.

I think that a manufacturer should be the expert in what they’re doing and they should let SYSPRO be the expert in making the software.  The ERP system is a tool that the manufacturer can deploy and make work for them; and SYSPRO works, does the job and does it well!

During my involvement with Columbia University’s ERP system implementation and management, I recognized, even then, that accounting encompassed more than just cutting a couple of checks and doing bookkeeping.  It starts digging down into all the of the operations of an organization: how can you automate, how can you integrate, how can you tie-in all the different areas.  For the university, this meant integrating student records and student payments with government grants and contracts and accounting information and budgeting information and it all has to come together.  Nothing in a business happens in a vacuum, and each bit of business impacts on every other bit of it.

So realizing that accounting applies everywhere to all organizations, I decided to branch out, working to implement accounting systems. Overtime, these systems grew into larger systems with greater capabilities, and I learned that organizations can get much more from software if they take advantage of its full capabilities.  If companies are willing to make an initial investment in software – any software – they should also be willing to make the investment to maximize the gains software provides.

The ERP field has changed tremendously over the last 30 years, and that’s not just because the technology has changed, but because people have started to recognize the full power of the technology.  And this new tech-savvy quality has provided incentive and motivation for other companies to then start doing the same.

There are many stories of companies who have achieved great success through software and hardware capabilities and through understanding technology and what it could do for them.  Look at Wal-Mart as perhaps the largest and best known example.  That company has been driving a lot of change in technology because they continually assess their operational procedures.  In their quest for a more efficient supply chain they pushed the development of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, giving Wal-Mart (and eventually others) the ability to quickly track anything through a radio-wave-emitting tag and a nearby reader.

Without a large enough company able to spend that kind of money to develop the technology in the first place, RFID would not have existed, let alone become an industry standard.  These investments can also be observed with numerous other technological developments, all thanks to larger companies able to invest large resources to make them happen.
