PRONTO ERP Selected by Canadian VAR OTI as Standard for Clients

Written by Tom Verzi


OTI, Optimizing Technology Inc., located in Mississauga Canada, has been developing and implementing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems since 1984. The Canadian VARs (Value Added Reseller) customer base appreciatesrepparttar features built into their legacy systems which focused on individual manufacturing and distribution requirements. Withrepparttar 136870 advent of GUI (Graphical User Interface) it became too difficult to add some ofrepparttar 136871 new productivity features OTI and their clients wanted.

According to Dave Airey, VP of Sales and Marketing at OTI, “We started looking for a way to move our application to a GUI “look and feel,” but after two years of investigation it became obvious that it was not a practical goal. As an alternative we investigated upgrading our legacy application to a new product.”

OTI’s requirements for a new system revolved around their customers. After many years of custom changes,repparttar 136872 legacy system was geared to client requirements.

Airey noted, “OTI’s initial search took us torepparttar 136873 major ERP players, but none hadrepparttar 136874 features we required to support our loyal customers.”

Finding an ERP System with Strong Functionality:

The search for a new ERP system ended when OTI was introduced to PRONTO North America (www.PRONTOerp.com). According to Airey, “We were introduced to Pronto and were immediately impressed withrepparttar 136875 rich functionality. One important feature was that Pronto is fully integrated. We had engineered our legacy system to be fully integrated so this was of major importance.”

The Rationale for PRONTO ERP: o Fully integrated o User definable options to tunerepparttar 136876 systems functionality o A support system to back up our customers o Functionality o GUI look and feel built using a 4 GL tool o Equipment rentals and tracking o Service maintenance o Both Manufacturing and Distribution in one package o Email & Fax capability o Multiple SQL platforms including MS SQL

HI-Rel Corporation Selects EZ-MRP Leasing Option

Written by Rocky Smolin


E-Z-MRP,repparttar leading manufacturing software system for small manufacturers, announced a new pricing and product structure. According to Rocky Smolin, founder of Beach Access Software, makers of E-Z-MRP, “We see a distinction between those small manufacturers with less than five hundred parts in material resource planning, and those with a need for virtually unlimited part numbers.”

Companies like Hi-Rel Corporation have utilized this delineation recently by leasingrepparttar 136869 E-Z MRP system for manufacturers with more than 500 parts. According to Jerry Stouffer, “It made sense given our cash flow and I would recommend E-Z-MRP to other small manufacturers becauserepparttar 136870 support is excellent andrepparttar 136871 product is easy to work with.”

Stouffer did suggest that manufacturers looking for a customer relations management module should look at something else. However he was impressed with, “…How fast it (E-Z-MRP) calculates our requirements. I have 800 items inrepparttar 136872 database and it only takes 20 seconds.”

Small manufacturers with more than about a hundred parts can no longer managerepparttar 136873 manufacturing process manually or on an Excel spreadsheet. Since more than 84% of all manufacturers have less than fifty employees, there is a remarkable opportunity for cost-effective manufacturing systems like E-Z-MRP. Despiterepparttar 136874 extensive media coverage regarding ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), in most cases these small manufacturers do not require allrepparttar 136875 functionality offered, nor can many affordrepparttar 136876 price point.
