Nexgen signs 50^th European Focus/2000™ licensee

March , 1999 — Nexgen Software Technologies, Inc. (Naperville, Illinois) announces Purina has become Nexgen's 50^th customer in Europe by selecting Nexgen's Focus/2000 to century-enable its BPCS® manufacturing and distribution software in Barcelona, Spain and Milan, Italy.

Focus/2000 helps BPCS® users overcome a formidable challenge

More than 8,500 companies at over 25,000 sites worldwide rely on the BPCS® manufacturing and distribution software to run their businesses. Without Focus/2000, clients who are not already live on BPCS® Version 6 (which is year 2000 compliant) face a formidable challenge. Version 6 introduced a radically different set of architectures, which many clients cannot implement without considerable expenditures of time and money. Alternatively, clients who wish to stay on their current version of the software would have a significant undertaking to century-enable their systems manually or using a less robust tool solution. Nexgen developed Focus/2000 to automate the task and reduce project turnaround to weeks or months instead of the years many users have budgeted.

Nexgen Software Technologies, Inc. is headquartered in Naperville, Illinois, a Chicago suburb in the area's High Technology Corridor. Since 1990, Nexgen has focused on providing implementation and custom modification services to BPCS® users. Nexgen Europe, Inc. was founded in 1998 to market Focus/2000 as a millennium solution for the BPCS® market, and Nexgen/2K™ as a millennium solution for other AS/400 software.
