Glovia Named One of Top 100 Largest Application Vendors by MSI
Extended ERP Provider Ranked 28th in Global List of Largest ERP, Supply Chain, Product Lifecycle and Plant Operations Software Vendors
El Segundo, Calif., July 15, 2003 - Glovia International, a Fujitsu subsidiary, an integral member of Fujitsu's Glovia Group, and a leading provider of extended ERP solutions for engineer-to-order and high volume manufacturers, announced today that Glovia was named as one of the world's Top 100 largest manufacturing software vendors by MSI, a manufacturing and information technology magazine published by Reed Business Information.
The MSI Top 100 list ranks the world's leading providers of enterprise, supply chain, product lifecycle and plant operations software. The annual rankings are based on 2002 total revenues from the worldwide sale, implementation and support of Glovia products, including software license, implementation, and maintenance and support fees. MSI compiles the list from an industry survey and additional market research.
Glovia was the 28th largest enterprise applications vendor in the MSI Top 100 list based on 2002 revenues of $199.6* million. "Glovia is exceptionally pleased to be ranked as one of the world's leading providers of software solutions for manufacturers," said Dennis R. Michalis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Glovia International. "For more than 30 years, Glovia has helped manufacturers manage, improve and grow their businesses with its easy to implement solutions. Glovia takes pride in its ability to solve business challenges its customers face today while being able to scale to meet their future needs. As such, Glovia continues to expand its capabilities, providing manufacturers with robust solutions for supply chain management, customer relationship management and business collaboration."
Glovia's growth stems from its unique capability to serve the needs of both high-volume and highly complex manufacturers. For high-volume manufacturers, its extended ERP suite, glovia.com, provides tremendous scalability, whether running a single manufacturing plant or a multi-billion global corporation. Glovia also delivers advanced functionality to support highly complex manufacturing environments — including engineer-, configure-, and make-to-order — helps manage the entire product lifecycle process — from design, procurement and manufacturing to sales, service and support.
MSI's 11th annual Top 100 list noted several key trends in the enterprise applications space, including the continuing consolidation of the ERP market and the growth of product lifecycle management solutions.
"While other software providers have grown by acquiring their competition, Glovia has grown by meeting the business needs of its customers and developing new solutions," continued Michalis. "As part of Fujitsu, a $38 billion global technology leader, the Glovia Group has the resources needed to continue to grow its customer base. In fact, Glovia has enjoyed a significant increase in its revenues from Asia and is now the second largest ERP vendor in Japan."
