Syspro becomes first SA company to conduct nationwide, live satellite launch

By IT Public Relations
Johannesburg, 17 Oct 2000

Syspro, the developer of leading ERP software package IMPACT Encore, is the first company in South Africa to launch a product over a live, nationwide satellite link.

The launch will include an interactive link to Sandton and Cape Town from Johannesburg, with a simultaneous satellite feed to Durban and Port Elizabeth, where Syspro's key customers and value added resellers will be able to view the action.

The innovative occasion, which takes place on 25 October, celebrates the official South African launch of IMPACT Encore Version 5.0, Syspro's latest ERP offering. Guests will also be treated to entertainment delivered over the satellite by top local celebrities.

Syspro CEO Phil Duff says the technologically advanced nature of the launch is synonymous with the company's futuristic outlook for its customers, dealers and products.

"Although our dreams converge with those of our customers to create great productions, there is a solid underlying foundation," he says. "We believe the true art of creating software is to turn those dreams into a reality that will deliver practical business solutions for our customers."

IMPACT Encore Version 5.0 was viewed by an international audience in Deauville, France, in September. It was also unveiled to Syspro's dealer community in the US earlier this month. And now it's set for a space-age launch in South Africa!

The system's architecture of the future, which includes critical technologies such as COM and XML, will be revealed at the launch. "The launch is a platform for disclosing our e- for IMPACT Encore Version 5.0 and beyond," Duff says.
