Headline

Aberdeen Group, the leading provider of fact-based research focused on the global technology-driven value chain, has issued their annual “ERP in Manufacturing Report”. For the !rst time it ranks ERP providers based on the value they provide to their customers, and their market readiness. Plex Systems is ranked !rst among all of the the providers in the report, and is the only company to achieve the “Champion” ranking.

“Interviews with Plex Systems customers have revealed that, until recently, this on-demand ERP vendor was seldom select-ed for its deployment model, but instead for its depth and breadth of manufacturing- speci!c functionality. However, with the downturn in the economy, Plex has seen its business grow while ERP vendors o#ering only traditional software, licensed and run on premise, have seen growth stalled or even a dip in business.”

Plex Online ranked #1 ERP solution for manufacturers.The !rst truly on-demand solution for manufacturing performance management


Plex Online Success Story

Inteva Products

At a Glance

- Size: 1.5 Billion and 3,800 employees

- ERP implementation time: 12 months – 14 locations in U.S., Germany, Mexico, and Hungary

- Left SAP and went from 230 software application down to 40 and reduced IT costs signi!cantly.

In Their Own Words:

“Our other main goal with this large-scale change was

increased "exibility, and we are de!nitely experiencing

that. Plex Online has brought us a consolidated view of

the world through which all management can access

the same information, produce the same reports, and

make critical business and operational decisions more

quickly. All data is integrated, and the team can view

critical information through a dashboard in real-time.”

“Unlike most ERP launches I’ve seen, our migration

to Plex Online was completed smoothly and quickly,”

“The speed of this launch was especially remarkable

given the complexity of integrating data from many dif-

ferent locations.”

Shape Corporation

At a Glance

- Size: 250 million and 1,000 employees

- Implemented in three continents and four manufacturing plants

- Plex Systems utilized in metal forming, welding, and injection molding

In Their Own Words:

“After looking at many software solutions to manage manufacturing facilities such as ours, Plex Systems was the clear winner. We need a solution that provides complete visibility of the entire enterprise from the shop !oor to the top !oor. Plex o"ers a complete system that will allow us to eliminate many stand alone databases.”

“ The long-term value of Plex Online hits home with the Shape management team on a daily basis, as well as whenever the team sits down together for strategic planning.

”Each year, as I prepare our IT budget, I get a big smile on my face. I think ‘We’ve been using Plex Online for another year. Is it time for a patch? No. Time for an upgrade? No. Need to upgrade interfaces? Again, no.’

“When we chose Plex Online, the fact that it was a SaaS-based model was simply part of the overall sales pitch,” continued Hunting. “We chose the software because it was a good !t for our business, not because it was SaaS. Yet, if we’d chosen another software solution, we wouldn’t have the bene!ts of complete integration and we would still be living on the circular road of constant upgrades and never-ending IT maintenance costs. Instead we are focused on new opportunities.

“That is the power of Plex Online.”

Molly Hunting, IT Manager

“The most powerful message vendors can ever give to provide their capabilities and continued commitment in solving customer’s security needs is through successful deployments,” said Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Info Security Products Guide. “Plex Online’s successful de-ployment at JSC is a prime example of how a "exible, fully integrated ERP solution can help manufacturers manage their complex business process simply and e$ciently.”
