Syspro releases IMPACT Encore e.net solutions

Johannesburg, 24 Jul 2002

Local ERP specialist company Syspro has announced the release of IMPACT Encore e.net solutions, a cost-effective way for IMPACT Encore customers to seamlessly integrate best-of-breed Web-based applications and allow them to become more efficient using wireless connectivity.

IMPACT Encore e.net includes a component-based framework that allows collaborative commerce and enables tight integration with best-of-class technologies - solutions that significantly extend the functionality of Syspro's IMPACT Encore enterprise software.

Designed to work in conjunction with IMPACT Encore, IMPACT Encore e.net solutions provide a standard way of directly accessing the business functionality within, without compromising built-in business rules and security.

Although the product is firmly based on XML standards, the framework - consisting of the Software Development Library, Web-based applications and the Document Flow Manager - all use XML and one COM interface to access the full functionality of IMPACT Encore enterprise software.

IMPACT Encore e.net solutions help businesses keep more closely in touch with their customers and suppliers by enabling effective Business-to-Business trading. Using IMPACT Encore e.net solutions, a company can now easily extend its enterprise, reduce costs and simplify application development. Ease of access has been greatly simplified, resulting in reduced maintenance and support costs. Users can easily access the system using a standard browser like Internet Explorer, while wireless devices are now able to access and deliver data to IMPACT Encore.

IMPACT Encore e.net solutions also provide the framework with which a new generation of Web-based applications will be delivered. These new applications, developed using the Microsoft .NET architecture, can be fully customised to match customer requirements.

IMPACT Encore e.net solutions is delivered as a library of business objects that can be configured and utilised as required, and are sensibly priced according to the actual needs of each business. Because the objects are built as reusable components, they are ideally suited to be deployed in a Web services environment.

"In a nutshell," says Phillip Duff, CEO of Syspro, "IMPACT Encore e.net solutions allow our customers to utilise new technology more easily than ever before. Additionally, because the product is firmly based on XML standards, it is designed to evolve over time and will therefore lower ongoing development maintenance costs."

Brian Stein, President of Syspro USA, says: "IT departments will appreciate the new world of functionality which IMPACT Encore e.net solutions brings to the IT community. Developers can use their language of choice (such as C# or Visual Basic.Net) to work with the new components to provide the required end-user solution."

IMPACT Encore e.net solutions positions Syspro at the forefront of companies offering enterprise software with a solution that leverages the power and flexibility of Microsoft's .NET framework and open standards.
