Vicinity Manufacturing Announces SaaS for Process Manufacturing
Microsoft ISV to Extend Its Formula Manufacturing Software to the Cloud.
Atlanta, GA, April 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Vicinity Manufacturing, Inc., a leading provider of formula-based manufacturing software for Microsoft Dynamics®, today announced the availability of its manufacturing ERP solution as a software- as –a- service (SaaS) offering.
SaaS, also known as software “on demand,” is a model in which software is hosted and operated for use by customers over the Internet. Customers do not own the software itself, but rather pay to use it. Vicinity SaaS allows manufacturers to utilize the full benefits of a robust and proven ERP solution without a long term commitment to infrastructures and additional staffing. Vicinity Manufacturing plans to deliver its software through the SaaS delivery channel, in addition to its current on-premise offering.
“Vicinity SAAS offering allows us to reach clients that have limited financial and IT resources. It removes the financial barrier to entry with a traditional software and server purchase. Formula manufacturers that had to pass on Vicinity functionality are now able to implement Vicinity at a much lower cost of ownership,” said Vicinity Manufacturing CEO & Co-Founder, Randy Smith.
As part of its cloud-based offering, Vicinity will partner with the experts at TurnOnFood™ to help customers remotely manage the performance and availability of both the Microsoft Dynamics® and Vicinity Manufacturing applications. Since companies do not have to make long-term investments in technology infrastructure to use Vicinity SaaS, it can help free up scarce IT resources to focus on other priorities. Customers can begin using software delivered through Vicinity SaaS in a matter of weeks and, therefore, receive business benefits from their IT initiatives faster. “The value of ERP software is not derived from its deployment,” said Peter Joeckel, founder, TurnOnFood. “Rather, the benefit comes from its use. Software-as-a-Service helps organizations quickly unlock the value to the business.”
Vicinity software incorporates the entire manufacturing and business processes into one simple solution. Examples of the key integration features in Vicinity include formula management, automated lot control, formula scheduling, certificates of analysis, country of origin disclosure, batch yields by formula, quality control tracking, and batch ticket processing. The Vicinity solution together with the Microsoft Dynamics® suite of financial and distribution systems will keep process manufacturers on track for continued growth and success.
