Werum Receives Frost & Sullivan MES Software Company of the Year Award

Frost & Sullivan states Werum’s excellence in MES Software for Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Industries

Lueneburg, Germany, February 28, 2007 – Werum Software & Systems is the recipient of the 2007 Frost & Sullivan Company of the Year Award in the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) category for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.

Each year Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in business development, competitive strategy, consistent growth and leadership. The award also recognizes Werum’s continuing innovation and its commitment to customer satisfaction in the pharmaceutical industry.

“While there has been widespread consolidation in the MES area, Werum has differentiated itself by being one of the few employee owned vendors to have consistently shown tremendous growth over the years,” stated Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Sanjeev R Sridharan.

PAS-X, the company’s flagship product, has a modular architecture that enables customers to choose components based on their immediate requirements and mix and match those components to satisfy their specific needs. The sheer flexibility of the PAS-X product allows for modules to be added at any time, at any site according to the customers’ requirements. Werum’s architecture also leverages ISA S95 standards that enable easy integration with the various existing enterprise solutions.

“We are proud and honored to have been selected to be Frost & Sullivan’s 2007 Company of the Year in the MES category,” said Werum America’s President, Hartmut Krome. “But we are even more proud of our commitment to our clients in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries and how we have helped them achieve increased processing efficiency, lower operational expenses and improved product quality.”

“Werum provides a complete array of products and services for solving all pharmaceutical manufacturing business problems,” notes Sridharan. The high ‘value-to-price’ ratio of its complete portfolio has strengthened its market position, while its unmatched expertise in the pharmaceutical domain has enabled it to provide solutions in line with customer’s needs.”
