JOHANNESBURG - 24 May 2011 - SYSPRO, the leading provider of ERP software, today has formally announced the availability of SYSPRO BusinessLive, the company's new SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. SYSPRO BusinessLive offers SYSPRO ERP on-demand via the Internet at an affordable monthly subscription price. The SYSPRO-hosted BusinessLive option will allow manufacturers and distributors to leverage all the advantages of SYSPRO ERP software without investing in upfront IT capital costs and large IT staffs. Because SYSPRO BusinessLive is offered via subscription-based pricing, companies gain the ERP functionality required to boost operational efficiencies at predictable monthly costs while enjoying full software scalability. Moreover, SYSPRO BusinessLive subscribers will also have the ability to leverage the availability of SYSPRO resources, including comprehensive user training and support from SYSPRO and its reseller channel.

Furthermore, SYSPRO BusinessLive users will have the ability to leverage new versions of SYSPRO ERP when they need them. Another differentiator is that SYSPRO BusinessLive allows company and user-specific tailoring of the software by the SaaS user via the utilization of best-in-class SYSPRO Power Tailoring tools, the same tools available to a SYSPRO customer running in an on premise environment.

According to Phil Duff, SYSPRO CEO, "SYSPRO BusinessLive is an affordable, subscription-based SaaS deployment option in line with the long term SYSPRO strategy of maintaining the company's position as a leading ERP solution for mid-market manufacturers and distributors.
