May, 23rd 2008: For another year, OR Soft was present as a partner of SAP and as an exhibitor for the 10th year in a row at the annual Berlin and Orlando Sapphire events, which are the largest and most significant SAP fairs. Particularly at this year’s show, OR Soft’s presentations were primarily focused on showcasing its software product: the Manufacturing Workbench – the only SAP-endorsed business solution for Supply Chain Management and Advanced Planning and Scheduling available world wide. The positive response and reactions of the visitors from OR Soft’s demonstrations at the fair supports us therein, that the cooperation between SAP and OR Soft in the fields of SCM and APS enables contributions to better meet the needs and demands of the customers in the SCM environment.
Due to growing international activities, OR Soft took part at the Sapphire in Orlando, Florida, USA as well. There are roll outs scheduled in the USA and Latin America that are to be completed before the end of this year. To better meet the requirements to provide global support to our customers, the OR Soft executive board has decided to offer a 24/7 worldwide support beginning at the second term 2008 to elaborate services offered for global acting customers.
December, 12th 2007: OR Soft can look back on a successful fiscal year 2007: The number of users of OR Soft product shows an increase of about 25 per cent, the number of employees increased by more than 15 per cent and the expected growth of turnover by more than 25 per cent as compared with 2006. Thus, OR Soft could further fortify its position as leading provider of APS and SCM software particularly as supplement to SAP products in Europe. At least the same dynamic development that could already be seen in the previous year is expected in 2008. The further intensified partnership with SAP provides the ideal framework for it. SAP recommends OR Soft’s Manufacturing Workbench as APS and SCM Add-on to SAP ERP and as SAP endorsed business solution.
