SYSPRO Brochure Summary

The brochure literature that was provided by SYSPRO’s management team was bound in a very nice leather zipper case along with an official SYSPRO mouse pad which I can add to my 3 foot high collection. Typically I find that all accounting software brochures contain 20% important information cluttered by 80% puff and extraneous claims. My intentions are not to regurgitate the entirety of the brochure content here, but I found the following tidbits of information interesting to me. Here you go:

  • Customer Base - SYSPRO has tens of thousands of users (6,000+ total customers) in 45 countries throughout the world.
  • Microsoft Integration – The company claims that SYSPRO fully supports Microsoft Office integration to Word and Excel, including ODBC compliance. Tasks defined within SYSRO can also be imported into Microsoft Outlook as well.
  • Multi-Platforms – SYSPRO also operates on many platforms and databases including many UNIX-based platforms, the Windows and Windows 2000 platforms, Novell NetWare, Linux, the C-ISAM database, SQL Server, Oracle.
