KARLSRUHE, GERMANY and ASHBURN, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 10, 2007 -- For the fifth
consecutive year, ABAS business software achieved the best ERP score out of
all competing firms in the Konradin ERP Users Study. This ERP study has
been carried out annually since 1999, and has earned a well-established
reputation, providing support for companies on the borderline of deciding
which ERP software to go with.
THE 2007/2008 ERP STUDY
The Konradin surveys were focused on overall user satisfaction, a central
control quantity for the software industry. The information was based on
1700 company interviews conducted by Förster & Thelen (an independent
research institution) via email or phone. The survey was based on companies
ranging from 50 to 1000 employees. The users rated their used ERP systems
by means of a 1-6 grading scale (1 being excellent, 6 being insufficient).
ABAS tallied a 1.86, an improvement over last year, and the best grade of
the ERP systems surveyed.
AN OPEN AND FLEXIBLE APPROACH TO CO-OPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT
ABAS CEO Peter Forscht said, "Every year we keenly await the results of the
Konradin study. We were very excited that we were able to [even] further
improve as market leader, and that for the fifth time we gained the first
place regarding the users' satisfaction with the implemented solution. This
confirms our method of cooperative software development with our partners
and customers, associations and universities."
The philosophy behind the Abas Business Software is to remain open and
flexible to certain company situations. The users rated the abas Business
Software with a grade of 1.7 for flexibility, another record-setting score
for ABAS. One client's CEO said, "With the extreme flexibility and
adaptability of [ABAS'] system, it is possible for us to realize almost
every idea we have on increasing our company's efficiency in the production
and management area."
ABAS ACHIEVES HIGH MARKS
ABAS finished FIRST in users' ratings for Overall satisfaction, system
performance, stability, openness to integration, flexibility, user
friendliness, functional fit, price/performance ratio, implementation
support, contact support, update support, partner performance, training,
helpdesk/hotline support, industry specific knowledge, and investment ROI.
"The result spurs us on and, at the same time, is an incentive to hold the
top position reached for a fifth time. At ABAS we have the duty to our
users to confirm the performance and quality standard, and to expand and
improve it further," said Werner Strub, CEO of the ABAS Software AG, the
