Leesburg, Va – January 5, 2009

Interactive Softworks announced today that En>compass Solutions, a professional services company that specializes in ERP software implementations and process improvement for manufacturers, has signed a Value Added Reseller (VAR) agreement to use Metaphor for Manufacturers as their platform of choice for ERP customization and optimization projects with En>compass’ existing and new customers.

“Interactive Softworks’ Metaphor for Manufacturers will help us accelerate our ERP customization projects while also making them easier to complete,” said En>compass’ vice president of sales and marketing Sonia Haslam. “Metaphor is platform-independent and therefore eliminates the reliance on a particular ERP vendor. This software-agnosticism is important to En>compass because our diverse customer portfolio uses ERP packages from many different vendors.”

Metaphor for Manufacturers provides a platform for manufacturers to extend ERP functionality and easily manage complex customizations and multi-system integrations. By leveraging its .NET middleware components, Metaphor lets manufacturers integrate existing IT assets; expose ERP functionality to multiple locations, customers and partners; and drive key business processes. This saves time and money, extends the life of their current systems, and makes ERP customization safer and more cost effective.

“En>compass Solutions’ deep experience in manufacturing industry solutions, and their high levels of customer service and value-added services are well-known throughout the manufacturing industry,” said Fred White, vice president of business development for Interactive Softworks. “We are excited that, through En>compass, Metaphor will be used to optimize numerous ERP systems in a wide range of manufacturing organizations.”
