CDC Software today announced an update of its Ross Enterprise ERP software aimed at improving usability and interoperability, lowering IT maintenance costs, and increasing visibility throughout the manufacturing enterprise.

The new release, Ross Enterprise 6.3, leverages CDC’s Smart Client technology, which includes a browser-like interface combined with extensive functionality and processing logic in the background, and provides deeper integration with Microsoft desktop applications, letting users extract data from Ross ERP through the familiar front ends of Office, Outlook, SharePoint, and other Microsoft products.

The integration to familiar desktop tools such as Outlook and Office drives up user comfort and adoption, said David Cahn, vice president of product strategy at CDC Software, in an interview with Managing Automation. CDC Software plans to “extend those integrations with Microsoft Office even further in the future,” he added.
