QAD: A Software Vendor That Has Survived (if Not Thrived) in the ERP Market by P.J. Jakovljevic QAD, a renowned provider of enterprise software solutions for midsized global manufacturers, has outlived many of its contemporaries by maintaining its stronghold in the discrete and process manufacturing sectors. In doing so, the vendor has reached a respected, veteran status. ERP Showdown—Round 2!
Exact Macola ES vs. Infor SyteLine vs. QAD MFG/PRO by Dylan Persaud I'm Dylan Persaud, senior analyst at Technology Evaluation Centers. Due to the overwhelming response to our first ERP Showdown, we're pleased to present another head-to-head discrete enterprise resource planning (ERP) comparison. Here, then, is ERP Showdown, Round 2!—featuring Exact Macola ES vs. Infor SyteLine vs. QAD MFG/PRO. QAD Pulling through, Patiently but Passionately
Part Six: User Recommendations by P.J. Jakovljevic While hardly any vendor is safe these days including QAD, the gloomy past seems to be far behind. The company has notably broadened its offering and seems to at least keep abreast of current collaborative requirements (if not staying ahead of the curve). QAD Pulling Through, Patiently But Passionately
Part Five: Challenges by P.J. Jakovljevic QAD still has to create greater market recognition and additional revenue. QAD admits it has been struggling to offer complete "across the board" functionality for larger companies, although the system supports multiple currencies and global tax management, and it is tailored to financial practices and requirements in major geographic markets, while the eB2 release features improved financial reporting and inter-company accounting. QAD Pulling Through, Patiently But Passionately
Part Four: Market Impact Continued by P.J. Jakovljevic QAD has long shifted its focus from being a mere ERP vendor dedicated to the industrial mid-market to fully leveraging the Internet in the applications it provides to manufacturers and distributors to link their back-office systems to those of their business partners via private trading exchanges. QAD Pulling through, Patiently but Passionately
Part Three: Market Impact by P.J. Jakovljevic QAD deserves admiration for its protracted innovativeness and endurance as the only assets it could muster as to compensate for limited resources compared to many larger competitors. QAD Pulling Through, Patiently But Passionately
Part Two: Company Background by P.J. Jakovljevic QAD, a notable player in the upper middle of the discrete manufacturing market, embarked a few years ago on reinventing itself by delivering applications that would optimize complex order fulfillment processes across multiple enterprises and divisions. Another major product enhancement feat at the time was the QAD/Connects architecture, which was both an open architecture concept and a set of connectivity tools. QAD Pulling Through, Patiently But Passionately by P.J. Jakovljevic QAD has been pulling through the downturn with a real strength (especially in terms of new licenses, and with a strong balance sheet and declining debt), a result of its persevering focus on manufacturing, which it recently coined in the slogan "A passion for manufacturing". QAD Seemingly Nearing The Corner by P.J. Jakovljevic Recently reported financial results for fiscal 2002 might indicate QAD is nearing the turnaround point, with improved value proposition and cash situation to spar with the economic slowdown and the fierce competition from the bigger vendors and many of its peers. Will QAD Finally Get The Break (-Even)? by P.J. Jakovljevic On May 30, QAD reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Although not quite turning the corner, the business seems to be stabilizing against the backdrop of the economic slowdown, the fierce competition from the bigger vendors and the plight of many of its peers. QAD Finally Breaks The Red Ink Streak, But… by P.J. Jakovljevic On March 13, QAD reported financial results for fiscal 2001. Although the company finally posted a profit in the last quarter, the sharp revenue decline and still outstanding product delivery may mean that the dark clouds will hang over it for a while.
