Inside-ERP Places SYSPRO in ERP Top Five

SYSPRO 6.1 has been named as one of the best enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems by the research firm Inside-ERP, reports Manchester-based K3 Business Technology Group (K3).

In its "Hidden Gems: 5 ERP Vendors You Might Not Have Considered but Probably Should", Inside-ERP (www.inside-erp.com) stated:
"...This installed ERP solution is designed for small and midsize manufacturers and distributors. It offers many integrated functions that help plan and manage the various aspects of business, including accounting, manufacturing, and distribution. Additional ERP modules include supply chain management, production management, and CRM. SYSPRO also has advanced business process management features, including a workflow engine for designing workflow processes in a clear, visual way. Its user interface is highly customizable, and users can create reports in the standard graphical format they're most comfortable using."

Inside-ERP also highlights the utility of SYSPRO for a broad range of industries, including aerospace, chemicals and fertilizers, electronics, medical devices, pharmaceutical, and plastics and rubber.

The research firm also raises the point that ERP is a complex business solution and it warns that no one should enter into partnership with an ERP vendor lightly. It urges that companies must research solutions and says the ERP market is evolving and modernising with new technologies and delivery modes – such as cloud computing - entering the market.

SYSPRO is K3's best-of-breed Microsoft Windows- based ERP solution for mid-market manufacturers and it can be used for both on-premise installation, or it can be deployed as a cloud-based solution.
