JOHANNESBURG & COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SYSPRO, a leading, worldwide provider of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, has revealed additional details inherent in the company’s unprecedented, major new ERP software release in a global briefing to customers and resellers. SYSPRO 6.1 effectively raises the bar on the competition, representing a giant leap forward by “simplifying success” with new architecture, modules, feature sets, workflow and customization capabilities and groundbreaking user interface enhancements that set a new standard for ease of information access.

Discussing the latter, SYSPRO CEO Phil Duff stated, “SYSPRO is delivering a highly intelligent interface that is fully configurable by the user. This ability enables individuals to easily access the information required to maximize job performance and output. The result is that organizations can expect to see significant leaps in productivity.”

The Power Tailoring options in SYSPRO 6.1 greatly simplify information navigation, enabling even non-programmers to personalize views and achieve new levels of operational efficiency. The new capabilities build on the award-winning SYSPRO Fluid Interface that allows users to easily modify the behavior of any SYSPRO application to gain needed information and extend business functionality. For example, a user can:

• Configure forms to display additional data automatically, such as CAD drawings associated with stock codes;
• Insert an editable or read-only notepad against any key field;
• Remove any fields not used; and
• Control and streamline the way data is entered through configurable input masks and case settings.

System-wide personalization streamlines the implementation of company-specific standards, such as the rewording of field captions to align with company terminology, while role-based personalization simplifies the modifying of user interface elements, such as menus, toolbars and forms. These enhancements facilitate greater administrative controls and simplified deployment across the organization.

Within SYSPRO 6.1 there is no restriction on how information is derived or on the technology used to present information. Users can draw on out-of-the-box ‘templates’ to build user applications at the touch of a button or use highly sophisticated development tools, such as Visual Studio, to build and deploy .NET applications that interact with core SYSPRO functionality and are implemented as a seamless part of the SYSPRO solution. Once these .NET applications reside on a central server, they can be seamlessly deployed to the client computer automatically when required. SYSPRO 6.1 also allows users to present information (down to cell level) in a graphical and aesthetically-pleasing manner using a combination of Excel-style features and XAML Markup code.

The end result is that SYSPRO 6.1 is a highly configurable system that can easily adapt and change as requirements evolve. Moreover, changes are not affected by software upgrades.
