Silvon Software appoints De Moer Project Services BV

as Channel Partner for Benelux

 

 

Windsor, UK : 15 July 2002 – Silvon Software (www.silvon.com), developer of the manufacturing-focused

Stratum suite of analytic applications, has appointed De Moer Project Services BV of the Netherlands as

a channel partner to spearhead its move into the Benelux marketplace.

 

De Moer Project Services (www.demoer.com), based in Asperen, specialises in ERP consultancy and

implementation services, particularly BPCS. Existing customers include Autobar Industries, Cordstrap and Shimano.

Ernst Smilde, Director of De Moer, believes that European manufacturers are increasingly receptive to the competitive

advantage offered by analytic applications:

 

“The growth of the European corporation is making it harder for local managers to monitor their local

environmentsclosely and accurately. Stratum can help provide managers and decision-makers

with ready access to high quality, current data and analysis”.

 

“The emergence of analytic applications comes after a sharp period of ERP growth that is unlikely

to be repeated in the future. The core corporate systems are now – in the main – established

for some years to come. Now is the time for companies to focus on how to derive maximum benefit

from these very large enterprise-wide investments. Stratum provides the mechanism by which

companies can make sense of the very huge and rapid data flows that pass through their ERP systems.”

 

Ernest Smilde concludes:

 

“However, Stratum offers much more than a business interrogation tool and analysis package.

One of the product’s strongest features is the ability to write data back to the ERP system from

the analytic application. This is very powerful for instance when forecasting sales.

We anticipate that companies will find that the power of Stratum significantly enhances

the performance and value of their installed ERP system.”

Silvon’s Managing Director, Mark Mahara, looks forward to the relationship with De Moer:

“De Moer has the perfect profile for us – a European-based, manufacturing-focused supplier of consultancy

and implementation services with a detailed knowledge of the local market and with existing customers that

fit our target customer base. We will provide De Moer with considerable support to ensure that both companies

mutually benefit from this relationship to maximum effect.”
