Aberdeen Group, the leading
provider of fact-based
research focused on the global
technology-driven value chain,
has issued their annual“ERP in
Manufacturing Report”. For the
first time it ranks ERP providers
based on the value they provide
to their customers, and their
market readiness. Plex Systems
is ranked first among all of the
the providers in the report, and
is the only company to achieve
the“Champion”ranking.
“Interviews with Plex Systems
customers have revealed that,
until recently, this on-demand
ERP vendor was seldom select-
ed for its deployment model,
but instead for its depth and
breadth of manufacturing-
specific functionality. However,
with the downturn in the
economy, Plex has seen its
business grow while ERP
vendors offering only traditional
software, licensed and run on
premise, have seen growth
stalled or even a dip in
business.”

Success Story
Inteva Products
At a Glance
- Size: 1.5 Billion and 3,800 employees
- ERP implementation time: 12 months – 14 locations in
U.S., Germany, Mexico, and Hungary
- Left SAP and went from 230 software application down to
40 and reduced IT costs significantly.
In Their Own Words:
“Our other main goal with this large-scale change was
increased flexibility, and we are definitely experiencing
that. Plex Online has brought us a consolidated view of
the world through which all management can access
the same information, produce the same reports, and
make critical business and operational decisions more
quickly. All data is integrated, and the team can view
critical information through a dashboard in real-time.”
“Unlike most ERP launches I’ve seen, our migration
to Plex Online was completed smoothly and quickly,”
“The speed of this launch was especially remarkable
given the complexity of integrating data from many dif-
ferent locations.”

Chief Information Officer

Success Story
Shape Corporation
At a Glance
- Size: 250 million and 1,000 employees
- Implemented in three continents and four
manufacturing plants
- Plex Systems utilized in metal forming, welding,
and injection molding
In Their Own Words:
“After looking at many software solutions to
manage manufacturing facilities such as ours, Plex
Systems was the clear winner. We need a solution
that provides complete visibility of the entire
enterprise from the shop floor to the top floor.
Plex offers a complete system that will allow us to
eliminate many stand alone databases.”

“ The long-term value of Plex Online hits home
with the Shape management team on a daily
basis, as well as whenever the team sits down
together for strategic planning.
”Each year, as I prepare our IT budget, I get a
big smile on my face. I think‘We’ve been using
Plex Online for another year. Is it time for a
patch? No. Time for an upgrade? No. Need to
upgrade interfaces? Again, no.’
“When we chose Plex Online, the fact that it
was a SaaS-based model was simply part of
the overall sales pitch,”continued Hunting.
“We chose the software because it was a
good fit for our business, not because it was
SaaS. Yet, if we’d chosen another software
solution, we wouldn’t have the benefits of
complete integration and we would still be
living on the circular road of constant upgrades
and never-ending IT maintenance costs.
Instead we are focused on new opportunities.
“That is the power of Plex Online.”
