Exact Software's Exact MAX 5.0 Hits the Streets
 TMCnet Contributing Editor
Exact Software, a vendor of products that “connect the people, processes and knowledge essential to an organization,” today announced the release of Exact MAX Version 5.0.
MAX 5.0 features the same manufacturing functionality of MAX 4.0, redesigned for the popular Microsoft ( News - Alert) SQL Server database platform, according to the company. MAX 5.0 is certified to work with Windows Vista, and supports both Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005, company officials say.
“To meet modern economic demands, most companies need a business product that is reliable enough to operate without constant maintenance, secure enough to protect valuable business information, and flexible enough to meet unique business requirements,” said Ken Lam, Exact MAX general manager.
MAX 5.0 features what company officials describe as “flexible reporting and query options,” that “help users get more from their ERP system,” along with features like enhanced customization and/or integration capability with other SQL applications, including Web-based products like Exact Synergy ( News - Alert) and EDI, enhanced data security with data management access restricted to database administrators, and streamlined installation.
Exact MAX is being pitched to mid-sized manufacturers who want ERP functionality – “MAX is affordably priced, can be rapidly implemented, and is well-suited for independent companies as well as multi-site corporations,” company officials say.
Established in 1984, Exact Software is headquartered in the Netherlands, company officials say.
In May, Avalara, a vendor of sales, use and VAT tax automation products for small and mid-sized businesses, announced that Exact Software is the 75th product provider to join the Avalara Alliance program, according to the company.
Company officials say the program, for integrated offerings within the transactional (sales, use and value-added tax) tax management application market space, has partners representing e-commerce, retail point-of-sale and customer relationship management products in addition to traditional enterprise resource management and financial application providers, according to the company.
Exact Software, along with previously announced program participants such as Epicor, NetSuite ( News - Alert) and Sage, offer “Powered by AvaTax” products, using Avalara’s Web-service-based sales tax product. With Avalara’s recent acquisition of Independent Systems Programming, the company also partners with Syspro, VAI, Datatel, Everest Software, TDCI and Solarsoft to sell sales and use tax calculation and compliance products.
