Mid-market ERP stalwart QAD Inc. today released an enhanced version of its flagship product that features technology obtained through a string of acquisitions in 2006. QAD Enterprise Applications 2007 (QAD 2007), formerly known as MFG/PRO, adds CRM, enterprise asset management, demand management, and transportation management capabilities to the ERP offering. QAD officials told Managing Automation that the company remains committed to its manufacturing customers, and noted that the revamped product line reflects QAD's push to be a full-service enterprise application partner with its customers. The QAD 2007 suite includes modules for financials, customer management, manufacturing scheduling, supply chain collaboration, warranty tracking and service calls, enterprise asset management, analytics, and database portability. Built on a service-oriented architecture (SOA), the applications can plug into other Web services. In addition, a new user interface, called QAD's .NET User Interface, has been retooled to reflect how people work. It includes roles, data access, application integration, and e-learning.
