NGC Integrates RedHorse
Apparel ERP System to Demand Solutions
Software from DMI
Companies Can Increase Sales and Profits
By Reducing Inventory, Improving Order Fulfillment
MIAMI – June 24, 2008 – NGC® (New Generation
Computing®) today announced the integration of its RedHorse®
apparel ERP software to the Demand Solutions® planning suite
from St. Louis-based Demand Management, Inc. (DMI).
RedHorse is a comprehensive, apparel-specific ERP system that
allows companies to easily view real-time business data and
monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as sales,
profits, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
other critical business functions. The Demand Solutions planning
suite encompasses the full spectrum of supply chain management,
including sales and operations planning, forecasting,
collaboration, inventory management, manufacturing planning and
retail planning.
The integration adds significant new functionality that can
increase sales and profits for the companies’ mutual customers.
Inventory, production and sales information from RedHorse can be
easily accessed by the Demand Solutions software, resulting in:
• Reduced inventory levels – by placing orders
based on accurate, real-time information on current inventory
levels, sales, and open purchase orders.
• Improved order fulfillment – by precisely
matching supply chain production to demand.
“With Demand Solutions’ success in the apparel industry, there
is a natural fit to the RedHorse system,” said Bill Harrison,
President of Demand Management, Inc. “Our planning engine and
the RedHorse ERP for apparel provide an end-to-end system for
apparel companies that want to reduce costs and increase their
customer satisfaction, while streamlining the complexities of
the fashion business.”
“This integration helps NGC deliver increasing value to our
customers and builds on the tremendous synergy that exists
between NGC’s and DMI’s customers. It also enables our mutual
customers to leverage the strengths of the entire American
Software family of companies,” said Alan Brooks, President, NGC.

(NASDAQ: LGTY), which is a majority owned subsidiary of American
