Integrated Manufacturing Execution and Quality Management Solution Proves its
Value to Manufacturers
Charlotte, NC (January 10, 2006) - Camstar, the leading provider
of enterprise manufacturing execution and quality management solutions, announced
today that its annual revenue grew 63% in 2005. The growth is a direct result of
Camstar’s commitment to vertical strategies in Medical Device and Diagnostics, Semiconductor
and other high-tech industries.
Effective Strategy
“Camstar has clearly demonstrated that its out-of-the-box vertical applications
and rapid deployment methodology can quickly bring real value to manufacturers,”
said Scott Toney, Camstar President and CEO. “We’ve attained clear leadership, demonstrated
by the acquisition of a number of large marquee accounts. In fact, Camstar’s Medical
Device Suite and Rapid eDHR are now the most widely used manufacturing and quality
systems in the Medical Device and Diagnostics industry, and our InSite | Semiconductor
Edition is the most widely used MES in Semiconductor backend operations.”
Camstar’s industry vertical applications are successful because they are comprehensive,
configurable and easily validated, making it possible for manufacturers to quickly
achieve unprecedented financial benefits from higher quality and yields, continued
manufacturing improvements, reduced risks, and low cost of system ownership. The
company’s global professional services organization is well known for its industry
expertise and highly effective implementation methodology.
Growth is also attributed to Camstar’s global expansion. The company continues to
strengthen its global presence, and now 40% of its customers are located in Asia
and Europe. In 2005, Camstar opened Support Centers in Singapore and Ireland to
provide 24x7 coverage for global multi-site operations.
Continued Growth Expected
“Based on Camstar’s current backlog of software and services, we anticipate continued
strong growth in excess of 50% during 2006,” continued Mr. Toney. “Everything we
do at Camstar will focus on increasing value to our customers: Faster deployments,
simpler integration, and, of course, robust product functionality.”
Apparently, the benefits of automatic manufacturing control, process enforcement
and eliminating the overhead of paper will continue to be important to manufacturers.
According to the 2006 IT Spend Survey conducted by AMR Research, a robust 22% of
manufacturers state that a manufacturing operations application is their most strategically
important software investment for 2006.
