Plex Systems, Inc. Helps Customers Make Every Day Earth Day

AUBURN HILLS, MI, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Plex Systems, Inc., provider of Plex Online, the No. 1 rated ERP software
for manufacturers, today announced that on the 40th anniversary of Earth
Day on April 22, it is proud to help its community of users operate
greener and leaner manufacturing processes.

Plex Online is a Service (SaaS) ERP solution that enables manufacturers
to connect and manage processes throughout their enterprise and
significantly reduces the use of resources and energy consumption. In
addition, Plex Online helps customers reduce ongoing IT maintenance
costs, improve product quality and increase productivity leading to
higher profits and leaner operations.

Applied Research recently conducted a study of CIOs/CTOs and 57 percent
of the respondents viewed software as a service (SaaS) as a way they
could get greener in their IT organizations.

With Plex Online, data and reporting are all maintained electronically,
significantly reducing the need for paper, printers, and related
supplies. As a result, customers can save time, eliminate duplication of
efforts, improve quality, and reduce manual processes: all of which can
reduce the company's energy consumption and conserve resources.

Additionally, Plex Online is delivered as a web-based service, which
means that customers don't have to purchase and configure their own
servers and storage systems -- also leading to a significant reduction in
energy costs associated with these systems and the cooling systems
required to maintain their function. If an average server uses 200 watts
of power, that's 1.75 megawatt hours/server/year -- all eliminated by
using Plex Online. Each server eliminated reduces the carbon dioxide
emissions from not only the server, but all cooling systems and power
consumption of equipment required to house and run it.

"Today's manufacturers are always looking at ways to save resources and
be better stewards of the environment," said Plex Systems CEO Mark
Symonds. "We are proud to help manufacturers improve quality, embrace
lean operations and reduce their carbon footprint."

Customers tell Plex Systems they have seen significant resource savings
almost immediately after implementing Plex Online.

Phoenix Logistics, Inc. previously relied on a manual and paper-based
system stored in more than 50 filing cabinets. Now using Plex Online they
have paperless, integrated real-time traceability and:

-- Eliminated the cost of printing, handling and storing over 20,000
pages of documents once generated each month, saving more than $53,000
per year.

-- Have shown a total cost savings of over $89,000 per year.

Jagemann Stamping Company (JSC) also achieved leaner and greener
operations after implementing Plex Online and replacing nearly a dozen
systems with one single, fully integrated system with real-time
information and user-driven date flexibility. Not only has Plex Online
brought savings and efficiencies, it is so easy to use that employees who
avoided the company's previous systems now access, gather, and compile
data. All 150 employees have been trained on the new system. Other
results include:

-- The company previously printed full-color schedules for each press,
about 40 sheets of paper daily. Now schedules are electronic, never
printed. Total paper savings annually: 10,000 impressions (paper and
ink).

-- JSC used to print five pieces of paper for each manufacturing order,
about 21,250 pages per year. Now this information is captured
digitally.

-- The company now manages traceability throughout the entire system.
What previously involved three systems and significant energy
consumption can now be accomplished with a few mouse clicks.

-- Because the system is hosted at off-premise data centers, JSC needs to
supply only basic Internet connections to PCs, significantly reducing
energy consumption.

What started as a small grassroots demonstration on behalf of the
environment in 1970 now has more than one billion people in 190 countries
taking environmentally beneficial actions for Earth Day. Plex Systems is
proud to contribute to this worthwhile effort.
