ATLANTA, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Ross Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROSS), a leading provider of enterprise software solutions and the leading provider of ERP systems to the mid-tier process manufacturing market, today announced the agenda for ROSSWORLD '99, an annual conference for the Ross Systems International Users Group.

ROSSWORLD '99 offers an unequaled opportunity to discuss how organizations can best leverage their enterprise resource planning and supply chain management solutions to achieve real business results.

Timely issues, including the euro, advanced planning and scheduling, Y2K, and electronic commerce, will also be discussed by partners, end-users, and Ross Systems.
"This year's theme, 'Beyond Solutions -- RESULTS,' tells the story of what organizations will receive from ROSSWORLD -- the information they need to achieve results within their organization," said Dennis Vohs, chairman and CEO of Ross Systems. "In addition, Ross Systems gets the critical user feedback we need to set our corporate and product directions. The ability to incorporate customer feedback into our initiatives has been key to driving our success in our key target markets."
Attendees can choose from more than 140 breakout sessions, special interest group meetings, industry roundtables and product demonstrations. All discussion topics will address the needs of mid-tier process manufacturers, healthcare institutions and public sector organizations. Industry forums will be held for many vertical industries including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, metals, pulp and paper, public sector, and healthcare to provide for user feedback on industry-specific product and company initiatives. Technology briefings will include detailed product discussions on related technologies, such as workflow and document imaging, bar-code data collection and laboratory information management systems. Following the conference, five hands-on training classes will be offered at reduced rates.
"ROSSWORLD gives every customer a chance to learn and share with those people who make and use the software tools that run our organizations," said Frank Steffero, assistant IS director for Firmenich, Inc. and executive user committee chairperson for the Ross Systems International Users Group.
