QAD: A Software Vendor That Has Survived (if Not Thrived) in the ERP Market

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).

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 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.

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

QAD Finally Breaks The Red Ink Streak, But…
