23 August 2001, Hampton, NH (USA) - Lilly Software Associates, a leading provider of enterprise solutions for manufacturers and distributors, announces its marketing partnership with Los Angeles-based Unisyn Software, developers of the award winning automation tool, AutoMateä.
 
With this partnership, Lilly Software customers have the opportunity to integrate Unisyn's AutoMate application into their VISUAL ManufacturingÒ systems. AutoMate enables users to program their PC, workstation, server, or network, without coding, to automatically check e-mail, update a Web site, or perform routine system maintenance. Users can quickly create automated tasks by using over 100 drag and drop actions and then assign numerous system event triggers to execute those tasks. The application also includes an intuitive step-building process and an easy-to-use task wizard.

"AutoMate is a powerful tool that can help streamline routine daily operations and 'lights out' scheduled tasks," says Scott Rich, Vice President, Marketing, Lilly Software Associates. "Lilly Software consistently searches for ways to help its customers gain more control over operations and perform business processes easier. Several VISUAL users were already incorporating AutoMate to eliminate repetitive tasks within modules such as material planning, scheduling, financials, costing and EIS. Unisyn's automation software was a logical fit with our VISUAL product suite and we're pleased to offer this to our customers."

Dustin Snell, CEO of Unisyn Software, also comments on the partnership: "We are pleased and proud that AutoMate is the automation utility of choice for use with VISUAL. We have always been committed to offering personalized attention to our own customers' needs. Our partnership with Lilly and its associates will give us the opportunity to better respond to the needs of manufacturing companies who use AutoMate with Lilly's supply-chain solutions, each considered the top product in its field."
