| Minnesota-Based PRONTO ERP Partners With Mississauga-Based OTI
OTI, Optimization Technology Inc., located in Mississauga
Canada, has been developing and implementing ERP (Enterprise
Resource Planning) systems since 1984. The Canadian VARs (Value
Added Reseller) customer base appreciates the features built
into their legacy systems which focused on individual
manufacturing and distribution requirements. With the advent of
GUI (Graphical User Interface) it became too difficult to add
some of the new productivity features OTI and their clients
wanted.
According to Dave Airey, VP of Sales and Marketing at OTI, “We
started looking for a way to move our application to a GUI “look
and feel,” but after two years of investigation it became
obvious that it was not a practical goal. As an alternative we
investigated upgrading our legacy application to a new product.”
OTI’s requirements for a new system revolved around their
customers. After many years of custom changes, the legacy system
was geared to client requirements.
Airey noted, “OTI’s initial search took us to the major ERP
players, but none had the features we required to support our
loyal customers.”
Finding an ERP System with Strong Functionality: The search for
a new ERP system ended when OTI was introduced to PRONTO North
America (www.PRONTOerp.com). According to Airey, “We were
introduced to Pronto and were immediately impressed with the
rich functionality. One important feature was that Pronto is
fully integrated. We had engineered our legacy system to be
fully integrated so this was of major importance.”
The Rationale for PRONTO ERP: o Fully integrated o User
definable options to tune the systems functionality o A support
system to back up our customers o Functionality o GUI look and
feel built using a 4 GL tool o Equipment rentals and tracking o
Service maintenance o Both Manufacturing and Distribution in one
package o Email & Fax capability o Multiple SQL platforms
including MS SQL
Additional integrated features OTI customers’ are now showing
interest include: o CRM (Customer Relationship Management) o
Advanced Warehousing o Scan Pack o Plant Maintenance
