SAN DIEGO, APICS Convention, Oct. 11, 2004 -- SYSPRO, a leading producer of enterprise software, has announced that the company's SYSPRO e.net solutions now includes an "Executive Dashboard" that enables authorized users to call up real-time "snapshots" of the company. The Dashboard displays up-to-the-second information from multiple sources across the enterprise and offers powerful drill down capabilities, enabling executives to gain visibility into operational details for superior decision-making purposes.

The SYSPRO Executive Dashboard can be easily customized to present only the required metrics and in a format desired, including graphical and chart forms. For example, a sales executive can choose to view up-to-the-minute sales data by plant, product, region or territory, while a financial executive can opt to view current profit and loss data.

According to Joey Benadretti, SYSPRO USA vice president, "The SYSPRO Executive Dashboard can be compared to one in an automobile. The driver is able to view at a glance current data pertaining to the vehicle's operation and make decisions accordingly. Similarly, the Executive Dashboard enables an executive to view a company's current operational statistics to better steer the course of the business and make on-target decisions using real-time data."
