System Software Associates (SSA) has entered into a new worldwide marketing alliance with iWork Software, LLC, developers of the dcServ enterprise integration system. With this agreement, SSA becomes a single-source provider of the dcServ system as part of its base software licence agreement.
The alliance grows from a long-standing relationship between SSA and iWork Software, LLC, a FALK company. dcServ provides seamless integration with SSA`s new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, eBPCS.
The dcServ enterprise integration system enhances eBPCS`s functionality and flexibility to the benefit of manufacturers. For example, its user interface screens can be configured to mirror specific manufacturing process steps, to align data collection with reporting requirements and to facilitate instantaneous and continuous communication between disparate business applications. dcServ is available with pre-built eBPCS transactions, reducing or eliminating the need to build custom interfaces between the two systems.
"dcServ answers the demand for increased ease of use and enhanced capabilities in ERP systems," says Harry S Falk, president and chief operating officer for iWork Software. "Our alliance with SSA will help clients maximise the value and performance they achieve with their IT."
"SSA`s core eBPCS suite seamlessly integrates with best-of-market solutions from industry-leading partners," says William M Stuek, SSA chairman and CEO. "Our global alliance with iWork and their dcServ product provides eBPCS customers with flexibility and extendibility with their enterprise systems." Together, BPCS and the dcServ enterprise integration system are already delivering significant value to clients. For example:
ESAB Welding and cutting Products uses dcServ to report shop floor activity and interface with BPCS and TESS, a finite scheduling system that manages orders according to the plant`s true capacity. The result: better customer service to its North American distribution network.
The speed and accuracy of dcServ data capture has cut time and costs of managing physical inventory at Imperial Wallcoverings by more than 50%. Van Leer Metallized Products, maker of metallised and holographic paper, chose dcServ to create data transactions aligned specifically with the information that machine operators need to report EPA-regulated emissions.
A self-contained object-oriented solution designed specifically for industrial clients, dcServ builds communications between disparate business applications with a minimum of custom programming. It gives manufacturers the most complete and integrated picture of their entire process, from order entry to inventory and materials planning to shipment and invoicing.
Users report benefits such as more accurate and timely receiving, inventory, production and shipping information. In addition, they report enhanced configurability that allows their solution to grow with their needs. SSA is represented in South Africa by Armada/SSA.
