CHICAGO and INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Made2Manage Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: MTMS - News), a leading provider of comprehensive enterprise business systems for mid-market manufacturers, announced today at the IMTS Manufacturing Conference in Chicago new benefits through its partnership with FRx Software Corporation, a provider of advanced financial reporting, budgeting and planning, and financial analytics applications.

With the integration of FRx Software, the Made2Manage® Enterprise Business System provides expanded financial consolidation and reporting capabilities. By integrating FRx Software's Analytic Suite with existing Made2Manage financial applications, users can enhance Made2Manage's high-level accounting functionality, and at the same time integrate spreadsheet and other non-general ledger data sources to create comprehensive financial reports that support business managers in making mission-critical decisions.

Version 6.5 of FRx Financial Reporter and FRx Forecaster offer additional features to increase the two products' usability and compatibility with one another and with supporting general ledgers.

"Both versions boast enhanced integration features that, when coupled with supporting general ledger, enable users to seamlessly access data from the general ledger to begin the budgeting process, build actual-versus-budget reports and drill back to data at its source," said Chris Lenzo, Made2Manage Systems' director of product management.

"By integrating the Made2Manage Enterprise Business System with the latest versions of FRx Financial Reporter and FRx Forecaster, our customers can really come to grips with all the financial functions required to run a successful manufacturing business," said Karen Jung, product marketing manager at Made2Manage Systems. "Through partnerships such as this, we are continuing to enhance the already extensive capabilities of the Made2Manage Enterprise Business System."
