COSTA MESA, Calif. -- SYSPRO, a leading producer of enterprise software for SMB manufacturers and distributors, has announced the company's placement on the fifth-annual Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100, a listing of supply chain vendors at "the forefront of innovation." The listing appears in the June/July 2006 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive.

This listing on the S&DCE is an affirmation of the technological innovations that this increase continues to produce and which enable small- to medium-size manufacturers and distributors to successfully compete with industry giants. This honor follows one by AMR Research, which recently acknowledged SYSPRO's leadership in Service Oriented Architecture."

According to Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive: "Our goal with this year's '100' is to highlight a broad range of innovations taking place in the theory and practice of supply chain transformation.
