Lee (Paul, Surround Technologies Founding Partner) has got a wealth of knowledge and is very easy to work with. He is genuinely concerned about us using the product (UFTP) successfully and meeting our needs. Im really happy with Lee.
(UFTP) works perfectly. We never have a problem with it. We never had an FTP site before. We used to get orders from emails where we had to detach a file and upload them to our (AS/400) system (from the PC) and then process them. It was very manual. We wanted something more automated and hands off. We wanted tight security. Once we decided to go FTP, we wanted a secure solution.

The EVLA Advantage:
“I think it was pretty easy for our programmers to catch on and work with it (the Accelerator). It really helped using the Accelerator because they were able to do a lot more advanced programming. It took about 50% less time to do it with the Accelerator, and the results were far more than our expectations: the consistency (of the system screens), the professional look and feel of the systems, the searching functionality, and the navigation within the system.”
Surround’s Services:
“Surround Technologies is a great company to work with. Tommy supported us and did everything possible to make this project work. Derek was great to work with. We felt like they really wanted to make this project a success. They followed through and did everything it took to get this project done.”
The Return:
“Over time we may save $100,000 per year in maintenance if we had gone out and purchased a system. And we are able to actually make changes ourselves and fix problems right away. I think we are going to see a 25% reduction in our supply costs through better management of creating labels and signs, which is about $250,000 per year. We also have better tracking of inventory and better auditing capabilities ... so we can resolve problems faster.”
The Results:
“The system exceeded our expectations, by the way that it ties everything together, and the professional look and feel of it. It doesn’t look like it was developed in-house. It looks like it was developed by a major software company. We were looking outside to purchase software and couldn’t find a package that met our needs. We were going to have to get a retail system and a warehouse system, and the cost of both together would have been $750,000 to $1 million more if we had purchased the software outside and then customized in-house.”

"(VL) Accelerator makes this challenge (referring to the amount of time to develop a windows interface to a system) more cost effective by drastically reducing the amount of time and number of programmers required. I believe that we probably will realize savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars in programming thanks to Visual LANSA Accelerator. What we can now do in about half a day versus weeks, it's like a 25 to 1 ratio of increased productivity."
"The investment we made in VL Accelerator was a 'no brainer'. As a small developer or a large developer, it is extremely cost effective to use the VL Accelerator to develop Visual LANSA applications. We intend to use it for everything going forward."
Lou Vilardo (TBC Partner)

"By the time (Surround Technologies' ) Derek (Maciak) finished training us, we already had some parts of the system built that we could use. Now, we've got it down to where we can create a new Visual LANSA screen with maintenance functionality -- browser, add, change, delete and search capabilities -- in about half a day, using VL Accelerator. In Visual LANSA, this same type of module with all the included advanced functionality would take somebody weeks to do."
"VL Accelerator allowed us to build a presentation-ready Visual LANSA application in a very short period of time."
