Taser International Seeks to Streamline Business Processes & Improve Information Flow Through Implementation of Microsoft Axapta.

IRVINE, CA (PRWEB) July 9, 2004 --- ITERATION2, a leading Microsoft Gold and Axapta Partner providing tier-one ERP solutions that deliver competitive advantage, announced today that TASER® International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR), the market leader providing advanced non-lethal weapons for use in the law enforcement, private security, and personal defense markets, has selected Iteration2 to implement Microsoft Axapta as its Enterprise Resource Planning Software. TASER's rapid growth and management's proven track record of innovation and category leadership have created a surge of interest resulting in a market capitalization of over $1.2b. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, TASER's long term corporate strategy is to have Iteration2 deploy Axapta throughout its entire enterprise. Axapta will allow TASER to improve its business processes, optimize its supply chain, and efficiently manage its growth.

According to the agreement, Iteration2 will implement Axapta using the complete Microsoft foundation set of technologies. "The advantages of the complete integration of Microsoft technologies from the business application Axapta, to the database, SQL Server, to the server and desktop operating systems are a tremendous advantage," says Greg Carter, Vice President of Iteration2. Carter adds, "I have been in this industry for over 10 years and have waited for an enterprise-level solution from a single vendor, I am very excited and pleased that it has finally happened and it is great that a quality company like Microsoft is providing it."

TASERs implementation of Axapta for TASER will include functionality to address key areas of TASER's business including Finance, Inventory, Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, Customer Relationship Management, and Business-to-Consumer and Business-to-Business Electronic Commerce. "Using our proven software evaluation process, Systems Clarity Framework, we were able to demonstrate that the combined solution from Iteration2 and Microsoft would support TASER's business goals and objectives and provide them with a tremendous platform that will support their business growth and innovation," said Carter. "It is a pleasure to work with a group that has such a great understanding of their real requirements and such a clear vision for their company, TASER clearly knows who they are and where they are going." That clear understanding translated into very effective evaluation resulting in the selection of the correct ERP software and implementation partner.
