SYSPRO, a developer of best-of breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, today announced that Design News has named SYSPRO a finalist for a Golden Mousetrap Award, the premier awards program for the design engineering community. SYSPRO, named a finalist in the category Design Tools: Hardware & Software, was selected for the company’s breakthrough architecture: SYSPRO Quantum Architecture. The architecture has been the foundation of the SYSPRO ERP offering for a number of years and is further enhanced in the newest iteration of SYSPRO Enterprise Resource Planning Software (ERP) - SYSPRO 7.0.

“Quantum Architecture ™,” SYSPRO’s powerful breakthrough framework, is designed to solve problems that have plagued ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software solutions for years and that have often crippled the ability of smaller businesses to compete effectively.

Quantum Architecture is a one-of-a-kind ERP architectural framework for managing today’s technology diversity, data diversity and advancing people collaboration and energy, despite change. SYSPRO Quantum Architecture targets six business “matters”:

• ERP Implementation
• Communications/Reporting
• Workflow Processes
• Security Issues
• Regulatory/Financial change
• Mobile/Cloud Requirements.

SYSPRO USA President Joey Benadretti emphasizes that the company’s approach is very different of what its competitors are doing: “Small and medium sized businesses are often not less sophisticated than large ones, and the margin for error is non-existent,” he says. “We are focusing on really smart, sophisticated solutions that offer better value, something very much in evidence in the about to be released SYSPRO 7.0, which has as its foundation, SYSPRO Quantum Architecture.”

“The Golden Mousetrap Awards are a longstanding tradition at Design News,” said Executive Editor Jennifer Campbell. “Each and every year we look forward to learning about new cutting-edge design ideas for design engineers, and we are happy to have companies like SYSPRO contribute their innovative technology.”

For the first time ever, the winners will be announced during a live ceremony held during the Pacific Design & Manufacturing Show in Anaheim, Calif., on Tuesday, February 12, and on Designnews.com following the ceremony.
