Personalization and power-tailoring
Our customers increasingly expect a greater level
of personalization from the solutions they buy.
They expect control over the look-and-feel of the
user interface and want to be able to incorpo-
rate their own data and their own special ways of
processing that data in SYSPRO.
SYSPRO recognizes this need and has devel-
oped an innovative, highly configurable User
Interface (UI) that can be tailored according to
users’ needs. SYSPRO 6.1 allows users to modify
the behavior of any SYSPRO application and to

extend business functionality. The end result is a
highly configurable system designed to adapt
as business needs evolve. Such changes are not
affected by software upgrades.
SYSPRO 6.1 also allows users to present informa-
tion in the graphical format of their choice by
using a combination of standards-based func-
tionality. Each user is therefore able to shape their
own aesthetically pleasing, easy-to-understand
graphical format.
