Press Release Summary = ERP Software Enterprise 21 by Technology Group International
Turns Government Regulations into ERP Marketing Opportunities

Press Release Body = According to Rebecca Gill, vice-president of Technology Group
International (TGI Ltd. www.tgiltd.com) makers of Enterprise 21 ERP (enterprise
resource planning) software, \"There are key lot traceability functions that are
essential to comply with the Bioterrorism Act and plenty of ERP vendors claiming
market segmentation competency that cannot meet these requirements.\"
Manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiled the significant ERP marketing
opportunities due to government regulations and customer compliance issues at
IndustrialLeaders.com. The feature article appears in the current issues and can be
read in its entirety at http://www.industrialleaders.com/articles06/03news07.html.
According to Cutler's article, the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act) directs the Secretary
of Health and Human Services to issue final regulations that establish requirements
regarding the establishment and maintenance, for not longer than two years, of
records by persons (excluding farms, restaurants and certain others) who
manufacture, process, pack, transport, distribute, receive, hold, or import food.
The records that must be kept by these regulations are those that are needed by the
Secretary for inspection to allow the Secretary to identify the immediate previous
sources and immediate subsequent recipients of food, including its packaging, in
order to address credible threats of serious adverse health consequences or death to
humans or animals. This regulation implements the recordkeeping authority in the
Bioterrorism Act.
