Karlsruhe, February 13, 2008 – ABAS Software, a leading provider of flexible enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced the availability of an Aberdeen Research Group Research report titled, “ERP in SMB: Exploring Growth Strategies.” The research finds that small and mid-sized companies are twice as likely to outgrow their ERP systems than larger companies. ABAS Software co-sponsored the research by Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company.

Initial findings of the survey found that:

· Interoperability issues escalate quickly as companies grow from US$50 to US$100 million in annual revenues
· Best-in-Class SMBs are 60% more likely to centralize selected functions using shared services, resulting in twice the reduction in administrative costs.
· Best-in-Class SMBs have 96% inventory accuracy and produce 97% complete & on-time shipments.

The selection of an ERP system has traditionally been viewed as a five to eight year decision. However, Aberdeen finds few ERP installations being replaced within this timeframe. The average age of ERP implementations in companies under $50 million is just short of eight years, thus requiring your ERP solution to grow with you is not an unreasonable expectation.

“The continual development of core business functions is a significant part of the abas Business Software,” explains Werner Strub, CEO of ABAS Software, “customers using abas Business Software don’t need to worry that their system will become outdated in a few years because every year we rework around 30% of the complete software code. This means that abas users have a completely new software with state of the art technology every 3-5 years.”

Cindy Jutras, Aberdeen Vice President and Group Director and author of this report cautions, “Do not let your maintenance dollars go to waste. While it may be acceptable to skip a release or run one release behind the most currently available, do not let your implementation lag significantly, leaving functionality and technology improvements largely unused."

The research, based on a survey of more than 1140 companies worldwide and spanning multiple industries, shows readers in-depth survey results and presents a road map for SMBs seeking to optimize their ERP system usage, or effectively implement an ERP system for the first time, through Best-in-Class (BIC) ERP implementation. This report is valued at US$399; however, for a limited time a complimentary copy of the report, underwritten by ABAS, is available by following this link: http://www.aberdeen.com/link/sponsor.asp?spid=30411020&cid=4174
