DEACOM Integrated ERP System Version 10.4 Includes Inventory, Quality Control Enhancements

Deacom, Inc. has released the latest version of its integrated ERP system for building component and process manufacturers. DEACOM Version 10.4 includes significant enhancements to Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Quality Control (QC) functionality.


Wayne, PA (PRWEB) May 13, 2009 -- Deacom, Inc. this week released the latest version of its DEACOM Integrated Accounting and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software System for building component and process manufacturers, rolling out significant enhancements to the integrated ERP system's Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Quality Control (QC) capabilities.


DEACOM 10.4 builds upon the software's established functionality, which encompasses all the business processes of a manufacturer, from sales and purchasing to production, reporting, and accounting.


Now the integrated ERP system combines sales and production MRP data in one easy-to-read report. Manufacturers can view current or time-phased material requirements for their entire organization - including on-hand inventory, issued and reserved inventory, items in QC hold, job requirements, sales requirements not yet scheduled as jobs, pending purchase orders (POs), forecasts, and inter-company transfers - from a single screen.


"So if you need it, you see it," explains Deacom Implementation Specialist Paul Heinmiller. "This improvement will give users better data visibility so they can make better planning and purchasing decisions."


The MRP software functionality also lets users satisfy material shortages by creating production jobs, POs, and inter-company transfers directly from the MRP report. Users buying several different parts from the same vendor also can build a multiple-item PO directly from this screen. And built-in drill down capability lets users view the real-time detail behind any MRP quantity by double-clicking the number.


In addition, DEACOM 10.4 includes improved QC capabilities. Now manufacturers can perform production QC testing during the job cycle - running multiple passes until achieving the desired test results - or after production is complete, on a pass/fail basis.


"The addition of post-production QC makes the system more flexible," Heinmiller says. "It's particularly helpful for manufacturers using third-party testing services."


DEACOM continues to permanently store all QC data for extensive research and reporting.

Customer Relationship Management was once used only by large enterprises because of the high cost associated with the product, but the tides have turned, says Sue Smythe, co-owner of CMIT Solutions in Everett.




A CRM tracking tool gives users countless benefits, usually at a decent price. Besides just managing sales, CRM software has applications enabling increased satisfaction in customer service. Providers of CRM software include Salesforce.com (News  - Alert), SugarCRM, ACT, Microsoft Dynamics, and NetSuite among others.

IntegrateIT develops the ultimate ERP solution for SME's

It is no secret that all businesses need some sort of system to process paper work. Quick books, spreadsheets, the back of a napkin or a big pile of receipts the accountant has to sift through. Some system has to be in place to ensure your customers are billed properly and your vendors are paid what they are owed. As a small business deciding the right system for you doesn’t seem like a big deal, but as you grow and more people are involved the  issues become larger and larger.

SME’s will tell you this system stuff is a real pain in the back side. What system should you use, how much is it going to cost and how long with this last before an upgrade or change of systems is in order again. The last point is one of the biggest issues even though most don’t realize it. The cost of continually changing systems effects the bottom line and the culture of the organization. If you have a system that does not meet your needs it can stunt the growth of the organization. The training and retraining can be costly.

IntegrateIT has developed a product and process that will make the decision for ERP Software for SME by providing a system (ERP123) the is scalable and affordable. ERP123 offers a full suite of functionality for manufacturing and distribution companies. So much in fact that when your first starting out it is too much. The beauty of the system is that you only need to use what is required today and turn off the rest. As you and your staff become more comfortable with a fully integrated system you can expand its use and reap more benefits of automation with out changing the system or paying for more software. When you buy ERP123 you get all modules up front.

Starting out small and growing into a system is not only a good idea it is the most sure fire way to ensure you are successful. Ask around and it won’t take long to find many horror stories of failed ERP projects. The biggest reason is that organizations try to do too much too fast. ERP is not Excel, your people need time to understand the concepts and the flow of information in a system. The key to success is to integrate the system into your business at a pace your people can handle. Expanding the functionality utilized by your organization in manageable, logical chunks.

There is no predetermined path, it truly is based on what you company needs and where the bottle necks or problems are within your organization. IntegrateIT has developed ERP123 and over 50 hours of training videos to enable companies to take a staged approach to software implementation. Low cost of initial ownership and training aids allow you to buy the software when you are small. As requirements grow you don’t have to replace the system, just expand its use, no retraining, no purchasing new software and upsetting the apple cart.

Investments of time, energy and most importantly money into a system that you know you will outgrow is a thing of the past. IntegrateIT provides you a path to success so your organization can focus on running the business instead of sourcing new business management software every 3 or 4 years.

Data Virtualization Links CRM, ERP and SCM

Data virtualization could be the next big thing in the customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise applications space.


If you can imagine an environment where you can integrate on-premise, cloud and SaaS applications quickly, easily and securely, you're on your way to understanding the potential of data virtualization. Next, imagine that you can automatically link your PeopleSoft, Vantive, Salesforce and SAP systems to provide a single continuous view of the customer.


These pretty radical concepts are already available in a product from Queplix, a leader in data virtualization. Other players in the field include Informatica, Pervasive Software, Composite Software, DataFlux and VisionWare. And the giants are also on the move.


"IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP are all data management big guns with interests in the cloud, master data management and enterprise applications," said John Abbott, co-founder and chief analyst of The 451 Group.


Abbott said IBM (NYSE: IBM) has made a series of integration acquisitions, while Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) acquired product data-quality vendor Silver Creek Systems earlier this year to boost its data management credentials. And SAP (NYSE: SAP) is in the process of assimilating Sybase.


But what exactly is data virtualization? Well, Wikipedia defines data virtualization as "the presentation of data as an abstract layer, independent of underlying database systems, structures and storage."


Data virtualization allows companies to get critical customer care, sales force automation and other important CRM applications working together to improve business operations and provide better service to their customers, said Michael Zuckerman, chief marketing officer of Queplix.


Last month, Queplix released Queplix Virtual Data Manager (QVDM), a product that can manage a simple integration between two applications or scale easily to integrate multiple instances of a complex application such as Siebel or SAP.


The core of the product is its persistent metadata server, which is accessible to all applications and provides a common source of data information and truth, said Zuckerman.


"Data virtualization offers a fundamental change in the way application and data integration problems can be solved," said Abbott. "Once virtualized, the data is available for secure reuse, with potential incremental return on investment with each application."

Open Source ERP Can Solve The Issue Of Outgrowing QuickBooks

Recent surveys have found that small and medium businesses (SMB) are increasingly willing to consider open source solutions. Not surprisingly, SMB and large enterprises are predisposed to different categories of open source software. 


Survey data suggests that open source ERP is one such OSS category where SMBs are more likely to adopt OSS than their large enterprise peers.
Several open source ERP vendors are vying for a share of the action. Small and medium business owners and/or IT department heads should consider whether an open source ERP package could meet your business needs as your company grows.


Growing adoption of OSS in SMB
Just fifteen months ago, Forrester published survey data that suggested SMBs were much more apprehensive about open source software then large enterprises. In summarizing the Forrester results, I wrote:


The Forrester study also found that more than half of SMBs (57 percent) also expressed concern that open-source software would be complex and hard to adopt, but only 32 percent of enterprises expressed a similar sentiment. In addition, 68 percent of SMBs cited the availability of service and support for open-source software as a concern, compared with 47 percent of enterprises.


More recently however, Jay Layman of The 451 Group reported that a study from CompTIAsuggested SMBs were more willing to consider and invest in open source products. Layman wrote:


In terms of open source, the study indicates nearly 20% of SMBs polled plan to begin using open source software in the next year. We believe that is a significant figure, particularly when we consider all of the open source software - from OS to middleware to applications - that SMBs may already be using, but just are not necessarily aware it is open source (via SIs, resellers, service providers and others that are increasingly using and incorporating open source).


Open source ERP usage small, but larger in SMB
Forrester analyst Jeffrey Hammond's recent LinuxCon keynote contained a wealth of data, including a view of OSS adoption by software category across company sizes.


According to a 4Q2009 survey of over 1,900 IT decision makers, companies with 20 to 999 employees were 50 percent more likely to have adopted open source CRM and ERP business applications than companies with more than 1,000 employees.


It should however be noted, that only 9 percent of companies surveyed with 20 to 999 employees were using an open source ERP offering. The adoption rate was however higher than Portals, such as Liferay, or Business Intelligence tools, such as Jasper Reports, across companies of all sizes.


All this begs the question, "could an open source ERP package be right from my midsize business"?


When to consider open source ERP products
Ned Lily, CEO of open source ERP vendor xTuple, explained in an email that his company is seeing strong interest from two types of customers.


First, companies with revenues of $5 to $50 million annually that are outgrowing the capabilities of QuickBooks. Previously, their only logical choice was an SMB version of SAP or Oracle Applications. However, the complexity of an SAP or Oracle Applications implementation and the time required ultimately forced customers to make due with QuickBooks.


Second, midsized companies that adopted an ERP package in the lead-up to Y2K, and are now beginning to consider alternatives that provide greater flexibility without the need for an army of consultants and at a much lower cost. Access to source code, either directly or through service providers, is a key attraction to companies in this second camp. Lily explained


We hear anecdotally from partners and customers that implementations are faster because of open architecture and ability to make low-impact changes to the source code or extensions around the core.


xTuple recently announced new customers, a Cloud-based offering, a user community of over 25,000 active members and over 400,000 downloads to date.


Openbravo and Compiere, both previous winners of InfoWorld's Best of Open Sourcein the ERP category, are two other leading open source ERP products.


In addition to a traditional software package, Openbravo offers its ERP package as a software or hardware appliance to further simplify and cut deployment costs. Openbravo also boasts a large partner network, which can help midsize companies evaluate and adopt an appropriate product.


Compiere on the other hand was recently acquired by Consona Corporation. Coverage of the acquisitionsuggests that Compiere needs to refocus on its users, partners and community if it hopes to grow again.


The list of open source ERP vendors is not exhaustive by any means. Midsized enterprises considering an ERP package are encouraged to evaluate several packages - which, of course, is made easier through the low barrier for open source offerings.
