For example, remote sales representatives can easily check customer order status or inventory availability from anywhere in the world in their own language before taking orders on their PDAs.
MAPICS' Java-based architecture enables manufacturers to easily personalise and customise data to their exact requirements, streamlining business processes and improving responsiveness.
Sales representatives see just their customers' information, and when a new order is entered, the defaults are all predefined-speeding up maintenance and transaction entry.
MAPICS also has strong security features built into the new architecture.
No matter how users access their MAPICS system, the security profile is checked for authorisation, and they can only view data the user has access to.
MAPICS ERP for iSeries also enhances the MAPICS eZ-Link business messaging and integration announced earlier this year.
Data can easily be extracted and updated in the data model for easy integration with disparate systems, enabling shared data and collaboration by both human interaction and through automated system-to-system transactions.
"With our latest release, we are evolving the manufacturing functionality of MAPICS to an innovative, open solution for the Internet era," adds Tom Aery, general manager of MAPICS' Complex Manufacturing Solutions.
