Technology Evaluation Centers certifies K8 for performance capability

Kerridge Commercial Systems today announces that following a series of demanding assessments and benchmark reviews, K8, the company’s integrated trading and financial ERP system, has achieved Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) certified status.

TEC Certification is an impartial review that verifies a software product’s ability to address business processes and meets the stringent guidelines specified by TEC’s analysts. K8 is now able to bear the TEC Certified seal signifying that Kerridge Commercial Systems’ responses to TEC’s request for information (RFI) satisfactorily describe the product’s capabilities.

Ian Bendelow, Kerridge Commercial Systems CEO said, "This is a significant recognition for K8 and confirms that the system conforms to TEC’s well-defined standards. It has been taken through a particularly close scrutiny using TEC’s comprehensive ERP software model."

K8 performed particularly well throughout the evaluation. To begin with, its support for multiple companies, brands, branches currencies and language capabilities was highlighted as being very well built. In terms of ease of use, product layout, task performance and integration capabilities K8 also came out strongly. Likewise in workflow design criteria - information retrieval, system security and reporting capabilities the system received equally positive assessments. TEC also reported that K8’s ease of implementation was well regarded in terms of server and database platforms together with good set-up flexibility.

TEC said that the K8 Warehouse Management module and the credit management functionality deserved special mention. The system’s flexibility and robustness to support complex business operations with its easily accessible and navigable user front end also shone through. They went on to say that the K8 screens are well designed and operations flow seamlessly, presenting information to the user without being overly cluttered.
