Providing a portfolio of solutions to its customers and prospective customers, System Software Associates, represented locally by Armada, has announced the general availability of eBPCS NT. SSA`s NT solution is functionally equivalent to eBPCS on other SSA-supported platforms.
This is consistent with SSA`s mission to provide value to clients through the implementation of SSA`s business solutions while leveraging technology to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO).
"SSA has received high marks from industry experts - scoring among the lowest in terms of total cost of ownership (TCO) of an ERP solution as measured by time-to-implement, time-to-maintain/upgrade, time-to-change and time-to-interoperate," says Bob Nussbaum, VP, Solutions Management. "This cost savings, coupled with the inherent benefits of a Windows NT solution, is a true winning proposition for both existing and prospective clients alike."
Focused on the enterprise requirements of the industrial sector, the price/performance characteristics of eBPCS NT offer SSA clients and prospects additional solutions to reduce cost, while maintaining scalability and performance.
eBPCS NT was developed in partnership with Hewlett-Packard and extends the SSA Portfolio solutions strategy to the NT platform.
eBPCS NT supports a three-tier architecture (Client, Application Server and Database Server). The Client layer is a PC running Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0. The Application Server supported is a Hewlett-Packard NetServer running Windows NT 4.0. The Database Server supported is an HP9000 server running HP-UX 11.0. and Oracle 8.
The configuration is the first in a series of releases. Future releases will further leverage the NT platform, as well as other database technologies, to continue to lower the TCO for customers. This first release matches more closely the availability and scalability requirements of SSA clients, while providing the quickest-to-market NT solution.
