ACCEPT SOFTWARE NAMED "COOL VENDOR" BY LEADING ANALYST FIRM

Accept 360° Product Planning Application Facilitates Groundbreaking Internal and External Collaboration

 

FREMONT, CA —March 14 , 2007—Accept Software Corporation™, the emerging leader of collaborative enterprise-class product planning and innovation management systems, today announced it has been included in the list of “Cool Vendors” in the report Cool Vendors in Manufacturing, 2007, written by Dan Miklovic, Dale Hagemeyer,  Marc Halpern, Jim Duggan et al, March 6, 2007, of Gartner, Inc.  

"Manufacturing companies are under tremendous competitive pressure that ranges from low-cost Imports to regulatory compliance. Competitive advantage is transient, and manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to improve performance or bring the next cool product to market. Traditional enterprise systems vendors help in the day-to-day operation of the business, but rarely are on the cutting edge when it comes to innovative breakthroughs. Instead, manufacturers turn to small, innovative vendors that can provide the differentiating product or process technology to gain at least a short-term advantage", states the Gartner report.  Accept Software supports manufacturers, who constantly seek performance improvements and competitive advantage in ever-accelerating product cycles.

Innovative, Impactful, and Intriguing
Accept 360° fills the void between CRM and ERP systems and new product development and product launch processes. No more war room approach to product development with coils of paper on conference room walls. The digital environment streamlines abilities to assess ideas and to combine existing ideas into new ideas, making efforts to innovate more productive.

"Accept Software has been a pioneer in product planning and innovation and we’re continuing to push the boundaries that define the way successful products are created,” said James Davies, president and CEO, Accept Software. "Accept 360° is widely embraced by companies that recognize that innovation drives competitive advantage and shareholder value.  Accept is proud to be recognized by Gartner for helping companies harness the power of internal and external collaborators, better incorporate direct customer feedback and create better products.”
