iVP by Solarsoft Business Systems :: Last updated on February 20, 2008

iVP is a fully integrated ERP solution developed specifically for manufacturers and distributors. iVP provides exceptional supply chain control, enabling managers to collect, organize and analyze tremendous amounts of business critical information, and share that information both within the four walls of their business and with their trading partners. Quick reaction and flexibility is the key to survival in competitive environments, and with iVP every change in your customer's business immediately and seamlessly ripples through your enterprise's planning and operations, as well as those of your suppliers.

For high-transaction rate applications where bullet-proof reliability and low operational overheads are critical, our iVP platform uses IBM's System i server with integral DB2 database fronted by a Windowed user interface written in Java. IBM's mid-range workhorse delivers a host of sophisticated operating features designed to minimize total cost of ownership. For example, test and training installations can safely run on the same equipment as production while being completely isolated from one another.
