100% .NET WinMan Platform Celebrating First Full Year of Sales
and Customer Implementations
May 22, 2006. Leesburg, VA -
WinMan is announcing its first full year of sales and implementations
of the new .NET version 2.0 platform of WinMan. A manufacturing
software solution that, unlike many .NET enabled ERP business
solutions, is 100% .NET managed code providing N-tier architecture
enhanced scalability, security and maintainability. The use of
Microsoft SQL 2005 Server delivers proven high performance and
robustness whilst Reporting Services provides comprehensive business
intelligence and powerful reporting.
Providing full integration with the Web, WinMan has been built ready to provide
even additional speed and reliability benefits from customers utilizing 64-bit
server technology. In addition to this increase in speed and efficiency, both
manufacturing and distribution customers will continue to benefit from the
widely respected, intuitive and rich user interface for maximum ease of operation
and rapid navigation.
Customer success builds from the newest installment of WinMan.
Late in 2005 ErosionControlBlanket.com, Inc. selected the latest
.NET version of WinMan after completing a year long strategic
business systems evaluation of six leading ERP software solutions.
"A few key features of WinMan that made the final selection
decision easy were: Lean manufacturing toolsets such as back
flushing features, which fit perfectly with our rapid production
methods and make-to-order same day shipping service; the .NET
platform compatibility with all Microsoft business tools; advanced
reporting capabilities that come with Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Reporting Services; but the most important factor was that we
found the WinMan team shared the same long term service and customer
relationship building business beliefs as ErsionControlBlankets.com,
which gave us the confidence they would be here to help us build
and grow our company far into the future," says Jim Neirinck,
Vice President of Operations.
ErosionControlBlanket.com, Inc went live on WinMan in April
of 2006 at the main production facility in Riverton , Manitoba
. Other production and sales facilities will be coming online
with WinMan's multi-location functionality throughout the summer
of 2006.
Drawing on proven experience across a broad range of industries
including automotive, engineering, discrete manufacturing,
and electronics, WinMan has been completely re-engineered
for the Microsoft.NET environment, Reporting Services and
SQL Server database.
WinMan is designed with maximum future-proofing in mind,
and a comprehensive ongoing development program will see
a number of major functionality developments scheduled for
release during the next six months. These include vast feature
releases for the fully-integrated CRM solution, more foreign language support,
and mobile WinMan enablement via Pocket PC and Smart phones.
When launched in 1993 WinMan was the first true Windows fully integrated
ERP solution available. Designed to support Lean manufacturing from its inception,
twelve years of a continuous market-led development strategy has enabled
WinMan to remain a comprehensive and functionality rich ERP solution for
the SME sector.
