Vita-Tech Strategically Positions Its Future with QAD Enterprise Applications
14 September 2010 - 10:03PM
Business Wire
QAD Inc. (NASDAQ: QADI), a leading provider of enterprise
software and services for global manufacturers, and its alliance
partner Strategic Information Group (Strategic), today announced
that Vita-Tech International, Inc., a leading nutritional
supplements manufacturer, has gone live with a flawless conversion
to QAD Enterprise Applications 2010 Enterprise Edition (EE),
strengthening its customer, regulatory and financial compliance and
reporting capabilities.
Recognized by customers in more than 25 countries, as a trusted
manufacturer of nutritional products and formulations for
private-label sale, Vita-Tech prides itself on providing the most
innovative and responsive solutions to meet its customers’ and the
industry’s changing global and regulatory needs. For the last
several years, Vita-Tech has demonstrated this commitment through
advanced production equipment, facilities and staff investment.
However, with increasing pressure for stronger supply chain
collaboration, FDA regulatory compliance, and global financial
capabilities, Vita-Tech needed to upgrade its enterprise systems to
be as exacting as the formulas and finished products it
creates.
To meet this challenge, Vita-Tech worked with Strategic to
upgrade to the latest version of QAD Enterprise Applications to
streamline its data processing and better provide a seamless paper
trail for its mass market customers who demand electronic data
interchange (EDI) compliance, and overall to better manage its
business globally with multi- company, currency, tax and language
support; and consolidated reporting.
“The conversion process couldn’t have gone smoother,” said Toni
Clubb, chief financial officer for Vita-Tech. “With QAD and
Strategic’s help, we underwent several phases of extensive product
training, from executives to end-users. We also did the testing and
validation well in-advance. So, by the time we went live, the
implementation was basically flawless.”
Vita-Tech is required to adhere to the FDA strict current good
manufacturing practices (cGMP). With this software upgrade,
Vita-Tech can assure its customers that its computer system
processing electronic regulatory data are completely validated to
meet CFR 21 Part 11 requirements, and easing compliance with
financial regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
“QAD understands the challenge of aligning business needs while
improving service levels, reducing costs and meeting regulatory and
financial audit expectations,” said Lisa Pope, senior vice
president of Global Sales at QAD. “With QAD Enterprise
Applications, Vita-Tech is well equipped to meet these objectives
and positioned to refine its process manufacturing operations. We
look forward to our future with Vita-Tech and continuing to develop
solutions that meet their needs.”

Note to Investors:
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements
made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number of risks and uncertainties
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not
limited to, evolving demand for the company's software products and
products that operate with the company's products; the company's
ability to sustain license and service demand; the company's
ability to leverage changes in technology; the company's ability to
sustain customer renewal rates at current levels; the publication
of opinions by industry and financial analysts about the company,
its products and technology; the reliability of estimates of
transaction and integration costs and benefits; the entry of new
competitors or new offerings by existing competitors and the
associated announcement of new products and technological advances
by them; delays in localizing the company's products for new or
existing markets; the ability to recruit and retain key personnel;
delays in sales as a result of lengthy sales cycles; changes in
operating expenses, pricing, timing of new product releases, the
method of product distribution or product mix; timely and effective
integration of newly acquired businesses; general economic
conditions; exchange rate fluctuations; and, the global political
environment. In addition, revenue and earnings in the enterprise
resource planning (ERP) software industry are subject to
fluctuations. Software license revenue, in particular, is subject
to variability with a significant proportion of revenue earned in
the last month of each quarter. Given the high margins associated
with license revenue, modest fluctuations can have a substantial
impact on net income. Investors should not use any one quarter's
results as a benchmark for future performance. For a more detailed
description of the risk factors associated with the company and the
industries in which it operates, please refer to the company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2010 ended January 31,
