Press Release Summary = Software Magazine Profiles ETO ERP Encompix

Press Release Body = Software Magazine recently profiled engineer-to-order (ETO)
enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solutions. The feature article, authored
by manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler noted, "ETO companies build unique
products designed to customer specifications. Each product requires a unique set of
item numbers, bills of material, and routings. Estimates and quotations are required
to win business. Products are complex with long lead times, typically months or even
years. Unlike standard products, the customer is heavily involved throughout the
entire design and manufacturing process. Engineering changes are a way of life.
Material is purchased not for inventory but for a specific project. All actual costs
are allocated to a project and tracked against the original estimate. Once complete,
the product is typically installed at the customer's site. In most cases,
aftermarket services continue throughout the life of the product," according to
Chuck Stewart of Encompix.
