With more than 2,150 customers worldwide, Made2Manage Systems Inc. has a 20-year track record of delivering enterprise resource planning software and a broad range of services that meet the unique market specifications of more than 30 manufacturing sectors, including industrial and commercial machinery, fabricated metals, rubber and plastics, electronics, analytical and measuring equipment, furniture and fixtures, durable goods, and metals, wire and cable.

Headquartered in Waukesha, Wis., Oberlin Filters builds pressure filtration systems, specializing in solid/liquid separation for the chemical, wastewater treatment, machine tool, and automotive industries. Oberlin has been a pioneer in pressure filtration technology for more than 40 years. As a growing company, Oberlin was looking to expand its business, and the shortcomings of its old business system had become a limiting factor. "We are an engineering-intensive business," said Jim Sharpless, "and we chose Encompix because it is obviously designed for project-based, engineer-to-order companies." According to Sharpless, another key reason Oberlin chose Encompix was because the solution's standard ERP features addressed the company's needs without the addition of third-party products. As with many small companies, Sharpless wears several hats as quality manager and assistant controller. Going forward, he will undertake the additional role of project manager for the Encompix implementation. "We are looking forward to having real-time data on a project's progress, and this will help us control costs," he said. Sharpless added, "To support our ISO 9000 certification, we want to streamline our business processes and improve the flow of information throughout the entire organization. We believe Encompix will help us achieve both objectives." (source: www.24-7pressrelease.com) |

The company name reflects a commitment to developing business application solutions that encompass the complex areas of project-based and job-based manufacturing. Encompix provides ETO manufacturers with a competitive advantage by improving bottom line results. Karen McDonald, accounting manager, MeteorComm singled out Encompix's revenue recognition feature as a product differentiator. Clearly, revenue recognition is an important issue for any project-based manufacturer building complex products with long lead times. Recently Bryn Furtaw, treasury & systems controller, Hallmark Tools in Canada alerted us to an article published in CFO.com. According to a recent survey of financial executives. a full 92 percent of all U.S. public companies use spreadsheets for critical accounting activities in their revenue reporting processes. And that increases the likelihood of compliance failures and financial restatements. The research, which involved 685 companies, was conducted by http://www.RevenueRecognition.com and IDC and sponsored by Softrax Corp. "We've just completed the first month using the Encompix revenue recognition feature," said Furtwaw. "We found that the system works as designed and avoids the 'hockey stick' effect that our spreadsheet model produced, where all the revenue came in at the end of the job when it was most labor intensive."

| /24-7PressRelease/ - January 15, 2007 - David Simonian, CFO, explained some of the problems Simmons experienced running an old, non-integrated Dbase system. "Each department had its own mini-system. The same data was entered multiple times—engineering, purchasing, job costing, and accounting. It was very difficult to extract any meaningful information to run the business," he said. Simmons had known about Encompix for several years. "We looked at Encompix many years ago, but were not ready to buy at that time," said Simonian. "We were impressed with the company's background—especially the fact that the product was designed for engineer-to-order manufacturer's. We looked at other products, but it became clear that they all had some shortcomings. Encompix was the only one that could provide all the things we were looking for." Founded in 1910, Simmons Machine Tool Corporation specializes in designing and building special machine tools for the wheelset, wheel and axle maintenance workshops of railways, metros, and transits worldwide. Located in Albany, N.Y., Simmons Machine Tool Corporation is a member of the NSH Group, which was created in 2000 by the consolidation of Niles- Simmons, and Hegenscheidt-MFD in Germany. Simonian is looking forward to the benefits Encompix will bring. "The biggest benefit is that everyone will be using the same real-time information. For example, when we hold our production control meetings in the future, we will be able search for any information we need without having to run off and create a report. Data accuracy also will improve. Part numbers and descriptions will be entered once, and called the same thing throughout the organization."
