Business Description
We are a provider of ERP software solutions targeting specific service industries. In the markets we serve, we offer comprehensive financial management, human resources, services automation, procurement, distribution and retail operations solutions designed to manage, analyze and improve our customers' businesses. Our software solutions automate and integrate critical business processes, facilitating collaboration among customers, and their partners, suppliers and employees. We also provide professional services that optimize and support the selection, implementation and execution of a customer's e-business technology and solutions infrastructure.

Founded in 1975, we currently have over 2,000 customers, primarily in the healthcare, professional services, public sector, financial services and retail markets. We generate revenue through license fees and separate fees for professional services, including consulting, training and implementation services, as well as ongoing customer support and maintenance. We market and sell our software and services solutions primarily through a direct sales force, augmented by a combination of channel partners and resellers.

We provide collaborative, industry-tailored enterprise software solutions that fundamentally improve the business processes of our customers. The open architecture of our solutions offers our customers the choice of directly deploying a pre-configured solution or quickly and easily customizing our product offerings to conform to our customers' unique business processes. The benefits of our solutions include:

Comprehensive Software Suite. Our software provides integrated, comprehensive solutions that automate business processes, enable collaboration among participants in the processes and deliver detailed analyses of the results of the processes. For example, our services automation solution enables appropriate staff to assess critical information on service projects. Managers can easily identify and assign the appropriate personnel to projects based on skills and availability. Personnel can enter their time and expenses associated with a project into our services automation solution, which processes these entries to automatically update our financial management solution for client billing, revenue recognition and project accounting; our payroll solution to update time records; our accounts payable solution to reimburse any employee expenses; and our enterprise performance management solution to deliver financial, project and resource performance reports to appropriate managers.

Industry-Tailored Solutions. We use our expertise in each of our targeted service industries to provide pre-configured functionality that addresses the specific business needs of these industries, thereby increasing the utility of the overall solution. For example, our e-Procurement for Healthcare solution allows healthcare organizations to coordinate and automate the process of ordering, receiving and paying for medical and other supplies from multiple suppliers, networks and web exchanges, using a single Web-based portal.

Flexible, Open, Web-Based Architecture. Our software is flexible. It can be deployed into a customer's system with pre-configured industry solutions or efficiently customized to conform to the customer's business processes using our adaptable extensions. Our open architecture enables our software to run on most leading hardware and operating system platforms and to operate with the leading relational database management systems. This allows our customers to choose the most appropriate platforms independently from selecting our solutions. Furthermore, our solutions can integrate with legacy systems through standard interfaces and integration protocols. Because many of our solutions do not require software to reside on the desktop computer and are accessed directly through a standard Web-browser or a supported wireless device, we believe many of our solutions can be readily deployed and used without extensive training. Our software is also highly scalable, enabling deployment in large, global enterprises as well as in small and medium-sized businesses.

Rapid and Cost-Effective Implementation. Our industry focus and flexible product design enables fast and easy enterprise deployment. We believe our knowledge of our target services industries allows our industry-focused services teams to implement our software with an in-depth understanding of the business needs of the customer, thereby reducing time, effort and expense.
