RELEASE DATE: June 14, 2007
TAMPA, FL - Verticent, Inc., a leading developer of enterprise software solutions for metal service centers, announced today that VSMPO-Tirus, US, a leading metal service center company providing titanium, aluminum and magnesium, has completed a successful implementation of the Verticent ERP solution.
Mike Metz, President, said "We are now live on Verticent at our Golden, CO corporate office, and our Ontario, CA and Moon Township, PA service center facilities. We are pleased with the capabilities of the software system, and look forward to expanding our management information capabilities as a result of selecting Verticent." Mike added "While Verticent was being implemented, we liked the fact that our employees could become familiar with Verticent through their training capabilities, without affecting our main database. Several months prior to going on-line with Verticent, we went through a series of pilots with sample orders, inventory and customers in the training area and each employee had an opportunity to practice and fully exercise Verticent. Verticent has been a good partner through the implementation process, as they listen to their customers and offer good customer support."
Scott Galloway, President of Verticent stated "We are excited to announce that another metal service center has successfully deployed Verticent. It's continuing proof of our market growth and validates our implementation approach. VSMPO-Tirus, US is utilizing our Distribution, Manufacturing, Financial and Business Intelligence modules at their three locations. The latter module enables VSMPO-Tirus, US to take sales, production and financial data and turn it into decision support and key performance metrics."
