Robocom Systems Upgrades Edison Technologies to Cloud-Based Version of Next Generation ERP

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. and MARKHAM, Ontario, Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Robocom Systems International announced today that it migrated another Next Generation Software client, Edison Technologies, to a cloud-based Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 platform with the SQL Server 2012 SP1 database. Next Generation Software – Robocom's industry-leading wholesale distribution ERP system – has recently been upgraded to run on a Microsoft Windows 2008 Enterprise Operating System with SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012 database, in addition to the IBM AIX operating system.

"The Microsoft Windows platform was an excellent choice for our company," said Bob Rosko, President and CEO of Edison Technologies. "The application performance has been outstanding. In some cases, we've noticed a fourfold increase in system speed and performance. In addition, because Next Generation is being hosted in the Cloud, my outlay of capital is a fraction of what an in-house system would have required."

Edison Technologies has been running Next Generation Software since 1997 and Rosko attributes Next Generation to be a significant component of his company's success. Edison also layered Crystal Reports on top of the Next Generation system which enabled them to ceate very specific reports for both themselves and their customers. "It was important that we retain our time investment with Crystal when migrating to a new platform. Knowing that we wouldn't have to create our reports from scratch gave us the green light to migrate to Windows," said Rosko. "Not only did we transfer our Crystal reports with a minimum amount of effort, we now have more flexibility with the Crystal product being on the Microsoft Windows platform."

"The migration of Next Generation to a Cloud-based application is a significant step," said Fred Radcliffe, President of Robocom Systems. "Robocom is impressed with the speed and performance.  We have gathered server sizing data and we are confident the Windows platform can be scaled to handle the load from any customer."

"Running Next Generation on Windows is a very affordable, yet powerful, option for both existing and new clients," said Richard Lempke, Senior Account and Product Manager for Next Generation. "There is tremendous interest in the Windows platform, and running in the Cloud is a method many users will find attractive."
