According to Evan Garber, President of Escape Velocity Systems (www.evs-sw.com).
\"O2 software has built in controls necessary to obtain validation from the FDA.\"

regulated companies to adhere to a specific set of requirements for computerized
systems, electronic records, and electronic signatures.


Process Manufacturing describes a manufacturing process whereby materials are
blended, cooked, or mixed as opposed to assembled from discrete units. Some needs
common to process manufacturing industries are:

. Formulas (or recipes) are ratios, not static bills of material
. Split bill of material: several products can share one formula, yet have different
packaging
. Flexibility with units of measure
. Stringent quality control, with recall ability
. Lot grading / attribute tracking and calculation

Escape Velocity Systems (EVS) was formed in 2001 to combine specific industry
knowledge related to process manufacturing, distribution, and ERP implementations
with cutting edge software development. The company focus is to create tools that
enable mid-market enterprises to achieve their goals, focusing on lean processes and
ROI. According Garber, "We realize that good ERP software is the hub of
information in any process manufacturing enterprise. Timely, reliable, and
centralized data are non-negotiable elements for businesses competing in the 21st
century."


The term escape velocity refers to the speed that is necessary for an object to
overcome gravity and soar into space. EVS provides direct applications for
businesses looking for a catalyst, not just a software package. Process
manufacturers require the best software solution coupled with industry experience
that will accelerate the velocity with which they race towards their goals. The
gravity of status-quo opposes aggressive, cutting edge organizations as they strive
towards high quality and short lead time delivery while reducing inventories and
operating costs.
