COSTA MESA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP for the manufacturing pragmatist, has today
announced it has won a new contract with Engineered Products Company (EPCO), a
Minnetonka, Minn.-based supplier of specialty lighting and wiring products for
the commercial construction market and power distribution cable assemblies for
data centers. SYSPRO prevailed in a direct compete against Epicor, Infor and SAP
via SYSPRO reseller RTE of St. Cloud, Minn. In addition to superior SYSPRO
software functionality, the SYSPRO/RTE total team approach was a primary factor
in the selection of SYSPRO ERP.

According to Jack Schuster, EPCO president, SYSPRO was chosen from a pool of
eight ERP software companies. "We never felt the winning team was trying to sell
us something. Instead, SYSPRO and RTE invested their time learning about our
business and our business goals..." Schuster was also impressed that SYSPRO USA
CEO Brian Stein attended various evaluation sessions.

EPCO anticipates that SYSPRO software functionality will result in annual
savings of nearly $300,000. Among the projected SYSPRO software benefits:

* Overall productivity increase of 7%
* Increased sales
* Better inventory management & visibility
* Purchased material cost savings
* Scrap-rework/obsolescence reduction

Joey Benadretti, president, SYSPRO USA, notes: "The EPCO win is yet another
example of SYSPRO`s unique approach to the marketplace. SYSPRO stands out from
other ERP providers, because SYSPRO is a company that literally goes the extra
mile to team with our VARs to learn about a company`s present and future needs
and accordingly tailor a SYSPRO solution. Our sales approach is aimed at solving
problems for our potential customers which reflects why SYSPRO has one of the
highest customer retention rates in the industry."

SYSPRO`s more thoughtful approach to adopting new technology, such as web
services and SOA platforms, also reflects the desires of its buyers who are
driven by business needs and not by the latest headlines. This exemplifies
SYSPRO`s ongoing strategy of helping to simplify the success of its customers.
SYSPRO calls its buyer landscape "PragmaVision," consisting of pragmatic,
visionary ERP executives that are driven by a desire for smart, but aggressive
market growth.
