SYSPRO: Financial Solutions with Unmatched Flexibility

“Businesses expect ERP systems to work out of the box; if they fail to do so, it causes untold hardships,” says Phil Duff, Founder and CEO, SYSPRO. He founded the company with the notion that it is better to write a packaged solution –but the trick is to make it configurable so that the customer has more set-up options which change the behaviour of the product. Being founded on principles of flexibility, SYSPRO has been very conscious of matching expectations of businesses, particularly in the mid-market where they typically don’t have an army of consultants or an IT department to help them. “As a result, they rely on the product working sensibly and appropriately, literally out of the box,” he adds.

From the outset, SYSPRO has not only delivered core operational functionality, but has developed the financial audit trails required by Chief Finance Officers and Chief Public Accountants, along with the ability to generate the necessary financial statements and information in the formats required. “SYSPRO enterprise software is an integrated business accounting system, and the flexible nature of the software al¬lows companies to use what they need today to be successful and to expand their usage of the software as their business evolves,” he adds. The company also of¬fers a range of executive dashboards built into the product with interactive ‘what if’ capabilities, which is a significant benefit to the financial crowd. “Auditability is a strength of the SYSPRO product, enabling customers to effectively manage corporate governance and risk,” says Duff.

SYSPRO ERP financial processes can be extended to the web or integrated to other applications using SYSPRO e.net Solutions. Based on the Microsoft .NET Framework, e.net provides the API (application program interface) that allows the SYSPRO system to support service oriented architectures (SOA). This type of architecture enables organizations to integrate third-party line-of-business software, external devices, and cloud-based applications with SYSPRO.

The company also offers SYSPRO Espresso, a ground-breaking platform for the mobile world that gives businesses the ability to access their SYSPRO business information as easily as if they were at their desk.
