SAN JOSE, Calif.--July 15, 2003--Recognized for Pioneering Operations Performance Management Solutions
that Help Global Manufacturers Achieve Improved Visibility and
Decision-making across the Product Lifecycle
Datasweep, Inc., the leader in operations performance management solutions for manufacturers, today announced it was selected by Start Magazine as one of the Hottest Companies for 2003. Chosen from nearly a hundred entries, Datasweep was recognized for its groundbreaking work in developing and delivering solutions in support of operations performance management, providing leading global manufacturers with improved visibility and business intelligence for better decision-making across the enterprise and supply chain. Datasweep solutions help manufacturers increase process efficiencies, improve product quality, reduce product lifecycle costs and facilitate regulatory compliance.
"We chose Datasweep as a Hottest Company for 2003 based on its business success and ability to pinpoint what manufacturers need to be successful in this economy," said Peggy Smedley, editorial director of Start Magazine. "While there is no shortage of innovation in this industry, there are only a few vendors that continue to provide recognizable value to manufacturers in terms of solutions and return on investment. Datasweep's focus on operations performance management gives manufacturers the opportunity to partner for success in building solid and measurable results."
According to Start Magazine, "Datasweep, Inc. is pulling away from most of the other providers of manufacturing execution systems (MES), expanding its footprint beyond the shop floor and adding business intelligence (BI) capabilities to its offering. Those BI features include a dashboard, analytics, and key performance indicators, and are designed to improve visibility and decision-making. Datasweep is emerging as the cream of the MES crop."
For the sixth consecutive year, Start selected the hottest technology providers in manufacturing, companies exhibiting superior innovation and versatility, and leading manufacturers to successful technology investment and implementation. Building on its previous recognition in 2001, Datasweep was chosen again in 2003 by Start Magazine for its success in serving the manufacturing community with innovative applications.
"We are honored to be recognized by Start Magazine for our contributions to manufacturers worldwide," said Lou Unkeless, vice president, Marketing at Datasweep. "Companies such as Johnson & Johnson, GE and Plexus have chosen Datasweep solutions to dramatically improve performance across their product lifecycles. Datasweep solutions help major manufacturers collect and analyze data in real-time, control critical processes and provide visibility and business value through roles-based metrics and analytics -- directly impacting business success and customer satisfaction."
