Press Release - Eagle Partner in Brazil

KINNELON, N.J. - (Private Distribution) - Eagle Consulting & Development, a strategic partner of QAD since 1992, has announced an agreement that enables PPI-Multitask to sell, implement and support Eagle’s RF Express™ for QAD Enterprise Applications in Brazil.

Eagle is the leading provider of real-time portable wireless technology solutions to QAD users worldwide. These solutions include bar coding, RFID and other advanced Automated Data Collection (ADC) technologies, as well as many industry-specific capabilities developed in response to the needs of our customers.

Bill Paone, Eagle's Executive VP, Marketing and Sales, describes his view of the partnership this way, “With 800+ customers at over 3,000 sites around the world, Eagle consistently seeks out opportunities to meet its customers' needs worldwide. The combination of QAD’s enterprise software, Eagle’s real-time ADC technologies and the product and service capabilities of PPI-Multitask will provide our mutual customers in Brazil with consistent, proven technology solutions and hands-on expertise."

Eagle is in a unique position as a QAD product partner because it serves only the QAD community. Like QAD, Eagle's product is Progress based and operates in UNIX, Linux and Windows server environments. Customers value the seamless integration between QAD and Eagle: Eagle captures each transaction at its source in real time, uses QAD's own edit routines for security and validation, then sends the validated data directly to the QAD database. Eagle's customers require no intermediate servers or other hardware. No middleware. And no modifications to QAD Enterprise Applications.

PPI-Multitask's product, PC-Factory MES, is already in use at many QAD customer sites. PPI-Multitask's Sales and Marketing Director, Marcelo Pinto, adds, "Our years of experience with enterprise systems and automated data collection will enable us to deploy and implement the combination of QAD's enterprise applications and Eagle's ADC solution quickly. Unlike the QAD enterprise system, PC-Factory MES monitors the machines themselves, as well as the manufacturing line. Downtimes, waste, labor productivity and more are monitored and reported, providing key information to planners and decision makers."

Eagle's Performance Made Portable™ strategy fits well with PPI-Multitasks' ability to improve production and results through effective integration with QAD Enterprise Applications.
