DRI named Infor Manufacturing Partner of the Year for 2010

Wlevine — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:11:09 +0000

Decision Resources was recognized as Infor’s Manufacturing Partner of the Year this week at the Infor Partner Summit in Atlanta, GA. “We would like to thank our customers and partners for providing DRI with the opportunities and the support that has enabled us to win this award, and to accumulate more such awards than any other Infor partner, “said Bill Titus, DRI’s President. DRI has been working with SyteLine dating back to the 1980’s and 1990’s when the Symix and SyteLine applications were a product of Symix Systems. Bill Titus, Sam DeBone, John Titus, Brian Smith, and Al Marino were all on-hand to accept the award. Gregory Corgan, Infor’s Executive Vice President and Business Unit Leader said, “We were extremely pleased to present Decision Resources with the title of Manufacturing Partner of the Year for 2010. DRI has always been one of our most successful business partners and they are known for their long-standing expertise with the SyteLine product.”

Western PA SyteLine User Group

Wlevine — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:42:25 +0000

Pittsburgh used to have a very active SyteLine User Group (actually, it might have been a Symix User Group back then). We would like to know if anyone is interested in reviving that group. DRI would be willing to help facilitate such a group, but it would have to be run by the users.

Interested? Respond to my post on the SUN group’s LinkedIn page. If you are not a member - go to www.linkedin.com and search groups or see www.sytelineusernetwork.com for more information. Feel free to send me an email also at wel@decision.com.

For our Customers: A note from DRI’s new Marketing Director about the DRI Newsletter

jtitus — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 14:00:15 +0000

I am very excited to be returning to Decision Resources as the new Marketing Director here after a 10-year hiatus from the company. It has been a while, but I still recognize the names of so many long-standing customers that I feel right at home. The software, though, is another story. What a change from the early days of SyteLine and the first attempts at a graphical user interface to today’s product with event managers, Microsoft-centric architecture, and exciting user interface features! As part of my job here at DRI, I will be working with our customers to ensure that they have easy access to all of the product and services information that they are looking for. Towards that end, I am very pleased to announce our new quarterly customer newsletter. You will also be noticing changes to DRI’s website in the coming months, designed primarily to make the site more useful and interesting for our customers. Among those changes will be a re-designed and active blog site – look for changes right here soon! Newsletters will be sent via email and will summarize entries from the DRI blog. If you did not receive our first newsletter, and would like to, please let me know. I would also like to encourage all of our customers to subscribe to DRI’s blog, at which time you will be stop receiving the email version of the newsletter and will receive updates directly from the blog when new items are added.

Keep an eye out for announcements regarding upcoming on-line seminars, customer events, and new website features. As we add more customer content to our website and schedule additional customer-related activities, I would like your input into the process. After all, this only works if I know what you need! Please feel free to contact me directly anytime with ideas for articles and whitepapers, website changes, customer events, or any other comments or questions that you may have. We will also be including specific questions in future newsletters and possibly adding online questionnaires to the website.

I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible in the near future, hopefully many at the upcoming SUN conference.

Sincerely,
Wendy Levine
Marketing Director
