Press Release Summary = VISIBILITY ERP Profiled by Manufacturing Journalist Thomas
R. Cutler

Press Release Body = According to Thomas R. Cutler, leading manufacturing
journalist, "Complex manufacturers are facing increasing business and global
requirements as reflected in the diversity of customers, suppliers and partners,
according to the Complex Manufacturing Research Survey. The survey also concluded
that additional remote locations and the need for improved 24/7 responsiveness have
changed the communication requirements for complex project-based manufacturers.
Complex manufacturers are defined as "other than exclusively repetitive
manufacturing processes" including engineer-to-order, made-to-order and
assemble-to-order. "
In the recent article, "Complex Manufacturers Face More Challenges as Globalization
Expands" in Manufacturing.net Cutler details other demands including compliance
requirements, and internal and external collaboration are driving the need for data
accessibility. According to Stephen Carson, executive vice-president of Visibility
Corp., "Data accessibility must include a common set of numbers, historical views
and improved analysis. Internal and external employees all require access to the
same data. Flexibility in access and speed to communicate easily is critical with
multiple locations. Multiple locations, time zones, currencies, and languages are
the norm for many complex manufacturers, placing additional communication challenges
on the organization."
Mobility is crucial to competitiveness among complex manufacturers and cost
containment is critical for lean manufacturing. Responsiveness drives higher
customer satisfaction and workflow improves organization efficiency; data
accessibility drives decision making speed; and consolidation has become
increasingly important for mergers and acquisition integration as well as financial
compliance. Technology remains critical for the business infrastructure and its
supportability; audit ability will continue to grow in importance.


Carson noted that these trends in globalization in the complex manufacturing world
drove the .net technology of Visibility. According to Carson, "Technology is the
basis on which an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system stands. Having a strong
foundation upon which the ERP application is supported allows organizations to
operate with confidence in their system infrastructure. It facilitates
supportability and growth."
