Ross Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of CDC Software Corporation,
announced today its statement of direction for Ross Enterprise ERP
solution that includes the planned launch of Ross ERP Version 7.0,
its next generation suite of ERP applications which is planned to
offer new functionality, improved interoperability, increased
collaborative capabilities, enhanced usability and significant new
mobile features – all with low total cost of ownership.
The Ross ERP 7.0 product suite is planned to be delivered over a
three year period starting in 2012 through 2014, in two phases.
Phase One deliverables, which are scheduled throughout 2012, are
expected to include integration of the CDC Software Event
Management Framework’s alert engine into the Ross ERP application.
This solution can deliver real-time monitoring, alerts and
exception management to the Ross ERP application. It can also
provide a 24-hour view into a manufacturer’s operations that also
proactively addresses non-events such as the lack of response to a
purchase order, or an overdue delivery or a missing time sheet
entry.
Starting in Phase One, key performance analytics will be
embedded into the baseline workflow of Ross ERP that can enable
faster, easier and more streamlined decision making without the
need for an external data warehouse. Ross ERP 7.0 is expected to
allow users to gain business intelligence within the context and
process flow of the Ross ERP transactional application, thereby
improving productivity and promoting improved and faster decision
making.
Another Ross ERP 7.0 Phase One deliverable is expected to
integrate SharePoint into the Ross Smart Client User interface
level to provide improved interoperability with other solutions and
greater usability for desktop and mobile workers. SharePoint is
also planned for integration in the application level that will
enable Ross ERP to offer higher levels of collaborative
capabilities. This will allow enterprise data to be accessed
through collaborative portals for employees, customers and
suppliers. Portals are an efficient approach when accessing certain
Ross ERP applications that require extensive data manipulation,
such as material requirements planning, which are not suited for
touch type interface technology found in smart phones and
tablets.
Other planned Ross 7.0 deliverables starting in Phase One
include extending the functionality in its mobile applications,
currently available on the Blackberry, to support iPhone, iPad,
Android-based devices, tablets and other mobile communications
products. In addition, SharePoint is expected to serve as a central
business hub in the application that will extend enterprise data to
mobile devices. These new mobile features are expected to help
increase worker productivity, improve responsiveness to customers,
and promote fast and informed decision making.
Additionally, Ross users already have a cloud hosting option
which was previously announced in February 2011. Ross in the Cloud
is delivered on demand and managed, monitored and maintained by
Ross experts in hosted data centers. This will help process
manufacturing industries reduce their initial investment and
minimize the costly burden of IT overhead and maintenance, while
achieving low total cost of ownership.
“Ross ERP 7.0, and our three-year product road map, exemplify
Ross Systems’ unwavering commitment to continue delivering
solutions that addresses the changing requirements of our
customers’ business and market dynamics,” said Sherri Rodriguez,
president of Ross Systems. “With the planned delivery of Ross 7.0,
we believe Ross ERP will continue to be one of the lowest total
cost of ownership solutions available to process
manufacturers.”
Phase Two of Ross ERP 7.0 is scheduled for delivery throughout
2013 and 2014. Phase Two is expected to offer even higher levels of
collaboration for users through the integration of Ross ERP with
social media sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and others. With
the addition of Ross Social ERP, users are expected to easily
connect with customers and suppliers during the product lifecycle,
gauge brand loyalty and product issues, promote process
improvements and improve compliance through links to social media
communities of regulatory content, and gain valuable access to
accurate, real-time and actionable intelligence. In addition, Ross
Systems plans to expand Ross Mobile, which currently enables users
to perform real-time ERP inquiries via their mobile devices,
to allow application updates, such as Direct Store Delivery and
Quality Management.
“Our Phase Two deliverables are expected to extend the
collaborative and mobile communications capabilities of Ross ERP to
new levels that will help our customers promote operational
excellence, product innovation and delivery of world class customer
service,” said Rodriguez. “With the overall improved
interoperability, innovative mobile features, superior
collaborative capabilities and the low total cost of ownership
which is expected to be embodied in Ross 7.0, we believe this next
generation of our ERP solution will be a true transformative force
across a process manufacturer’s enterprise.”
