IMPACT Encore has scored a number of firsts by being awarded "Designed for Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 98" logo certification. Not only is it one of the first application products to earn this certification, it is also the first ERP system, manufactured in South Africa, to do so.
In addition, IMPACT Encore is one of the few ERP application products worldwide to have been awarded the logo. It is also the first application written in the Micro Focus Dialog System to be logo`d by Microsoft.
The Designed for Windows Logo Program was developed by Microsoft to help end users identify desktop hardware and software products which have been specifically designed for the Windows family of 32-bit operating systems.
IMPACT Encore is the flagship product of leading software developer Syspro. The company provides flexible, integrated, cost-effective systems for the accounting, manufacturing and distribution activities of an organisation. A 20-year-old corporation with a solid track record of supporting its customers` business objectives, Syspro`s products are used in more than 45 countries worldwide.
Microsoft licensed VeriTest to perform the logo test. The new logo signals to customers that the product is fully functional on both Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and Windows 98 and was designed to provide extra benefits to the user when it is run on either operating system.
According to Syspro managing director Phil Duff, the award means that IMPACT Encore`s user interface and installation procedures conform to Microsoft`s standards. "This development will provide our customers with even more confidence in the product," he says. "It is yet another example of Syspro`s commitment to quality and adherence to standards."
