Vormittag Associates, Inc., VAI, a company specializing in ERP software solutions, has been certified by Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) for its S2K for Distribution Software Solution.

VAI S2K Enterprise Software was selected for review and certified by TEC based on its advanced functionality and features, reliability and affordability when compared with many other tier-one ERP systems.

"VAI S2K Enterprise Software is a viable choice for medium-sized businesses looking for an affordable alternative to high-end systems, as it is robust, feature-rich and significantly more cost-effective than other tier-one ERP systems," Aleksey Osintsev, ERP analyst at TEC said in a statement.

"What's more, it provides advanced capabilities and often allows faster ROI due to lower licensing costs and fees for implementation and system maintenance and support. Another attractive quality is the SaaS (News - Alert) deployment offering, which is becoming more popular, especially with manufacturing, distribution and retail businesses," Osintsev added.

Designed for the mid-range market, VAI’s S2K Enterprise Resource Planning Software Suite is used by a wide variety of mid-sized companies worldwide, with a number of clients in the manufacturing, distribution, retail, food and related service industries.

"Having been a long-time developer and provider of ERP solutions, we recognize the importance and impact of a TEC certification, as well as the reputability of its selections, and are very pleased to be a part of its premier suite of preferred vendor solutions," Dan Bivona, sales director at VAI, said in a press release.

TEC has been focusing on impartial, quantifiable software selection. The company's analysts objectively review software solutions using an extensive knowledge-base of data on hundreds of vendors and solutions to provide informed counsel and recommendations to better meet their customers' business needs.

"The S2K Enterprise offers an excellent depth of built-in reporting and inquiry capabilities that is not often found in smaller solutions," said Philippe Reney, SCM analyst at TEC said.

VAI recently partnered with B. Donald Kimball, Inc., a provider of mission critical hardware and software solutions and consulting services, to provide supply chain and business management software solutions for distribution, manufacturing and retail customers in the Mid-Atlantic region.
