SYSPRO, a provider of best-of-breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, announced today that analyst Cindy Jutras, founder and CEO of Mint Jutras, has commented on the SYSPRO "Brain Trust" Program presented to a group of leading industry analysts in Boston in December, 2013.

Jutras notes that while SYSPRO is not the biggest vendor in the ERP marketplace, it hopes to be the best for the markets it serves, providing SMB's with a competitive edge. "Yet not being the biggest also means it must build trust in its products and its ability to deploy easily and reliably . . . SYSPRO is one of only a few remaining ERP vendors that . . . enjoys the luxury of concentrating on satisfying the customer . .

"SYSPRO has long had its own implementation methodology suitable to small and mid-size businesses, but it is now investing in new industry-specific business process workflows, account structures, executive dashboards with pre-defined key performance (KPIs), industry roles and reporting. It recognizes the typical SMB faces many of the same pressures as its larger counterparts, but can't afford to start from scratch to re-invent wheels."

Jutras goes on to state that one of the industries upon which SYSPRO focuses is "Food," and lists the pluses SYSPRO ERP offers food manufacturers and distributors.

Jutras summarizes her report: "By also contributing executive services and educational programs, along with program incentives, SYSPRO USA stands squarely behind and in support of economic growth and job creation. A worthy goal of a Brain Trust? Yes. Simply smarter? Definitely."
