Added Ed Ross, CEO of CEIMIS Enterprises, "Our solution, MAGIK!, allows customers to begin the product development process at the 'Front-End' design process, where typically 70% or more of the present and future costs of the products life time burden is determined. Our solution creates the needed filters in product marketing before it gets to enhance collaborative engineering, by capturing customer requirements and desires, and synthesize the information with value chain capability. Since our solution is developed to be process centric, it can handle structured and unstructured data. This works extremely well with ETO and ATO ERP packages like abas."
abas, the premier ERP package designed, developed and priced exclusively for the small to medium size enterprise, is an award winning European provider of ERP and E-Commerce software.
