Andover, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/13/2006 --According to Stephen Carson, executive vice-president with Visibility Corporation, "Rules-based generation of product structures, costs and pricing must be delivered in a flexible, guided interface through the use of embedded workflow. The embedded workflow allows for integration with quoting, order entry and engineering delivering efficient data entry and reliable generation of configure-to-order items."

Manufacturing Journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiles in the current issue of Cadalyst the fact that, “Today's enterprise technologies pair with CAD so manufacturers can compete effectively in the world of engineered-to-order.” The complete article can be read at http://manufacturing.cadalyst.com/manufacturing/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=373711.

VISIBILITY.net is one of the first enterprise business applications to be written from the onset entirely using the Microsoft.NET framework and web services architecture. This provides complex manufacturers with a distinct set of advantages when it comes to deploying the application. IT administration benefits include “client-side” PC configuration issues, and fast, reliable deployment of upgrade patches.

Complex manufacturers have more than fifty percent of their business in international markets. The need to access the dynamic communication interface has never been stronger according. Strategic advantages across the entire enterprise must include Operations Management, Technology, Business Performance Management, Collaboration, Material & Production Planning, Financial Management, Customer Relationship Management and Engineering & Product Lifecycle Management.

VISIBILITY.net has a highly functional user interface, providing complex manufacturers with a multi-document interface (multiple windows) in a single browser session. Visibility has extended the standard Microsoft ASP.NET development environment to provide a highly intuitive, interactive user experience that would not normally be possible with an Internet application. All of this is achieved with zero client interface. VISIBILITY.net does not download any software onto a client PC in order to operate. Any client PC with Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2a or later is capable of operating VISIBILITY.net. (Visibility recommends the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later.)

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software for the Complex Manufacturing sector, non-repetitive manufacturing, has been less than effective in accomplishing these strategic advantages until VISIBILITY.net. Business integration, comprehensive functionality, collaborative capabilities, global features and compliance based controls enable effective decision making, increased organizational productivity, and a system infrastructure optimized for profitable business growth.
