SYSPRO Delivers Enhanced Integration Via the 2007 Microsoft Office Fluent User Interface

COSTA MESA, Calif.— SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP for the manufacturing pragmatist, today announced that its expansive enterprise software solution has been completely embedded within the Microsoft Office system user interface. SYSPRO has taken a leadership position in delivering this powerful productivity combination to mid-market manufacturing and distribution workers who can now perform their company’s business operations within the Office system business applications environment.

Called SYSPRO Office Integration, the new screen interface allows users to drill completely into the appropriate SYSPRO database to access and move information, perform analysis, make decisions and take actions needed for both operational and reporting needs. This pragmatic and visionary user access to SYSPRO ERP applications via Microsoft Office Word, Office Excel and Office Outlook will be leveraged by the company’s 14,000 mid-sized global customers. SYSPRO offers both web services and client/services option, including new connectivity via UNIX application servers.

SYSPRO Office Integration leverages both Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office and the SYSPRO business objects. It can be configured by role in out of the box templates, provides security rules, and offers full customization capabilities for personalized data view and access.
