A balance between the need to capture additional data elements vs. adding custom software must be created and maintained. MAX has incorporated new capability that provides users with the flexibility of being able to add new fields without the overhead of having to maintain them. In this session you will learn about user designed fields that will show you how to get more from MAX without impacting support or the ability to upgrade to future releases. Many companies have unique business functions that require the creation of custom software. Yet adding custom software that is not integrated with your ERP system involves hidden costs such as maintaining data multiple times and fixing mistakes. Exact MAX offers integration tools that provide the flexibility for passing data in and out of the MAX database. This session will highlight examples of the types of data and transactions that can be loaded and unloaded in either a real- time or batch format while avoiding the overhead and mistakes associated with rekeying.

When the economy slowed, companies reduced overhead as to stay in business. As business improves, manufacturers are asking the question, is there a better way to manage repetitive tasks?

The concept of an automated assistant offers a highly flexible and configured tool that can perform many tasks and monitor different processes. Learn more about how this type of solution can help your organization become more effective without adding overhead.
