Customer Testimonials: Tensoft Products

“Our sales model includes resellers, OEM distribution, traditional licenses, subscription sales, maintenance plans and professional services offerings, so there's considerable complexity in our revenue recognition processes. We've just implemented Tensoft RDM, but we're already seeing benefits, including streamlined revenue recognition processes and easier reporting.”

— Doug Ames, OAISYS Director of Operations

“We're impressed with Tensoft FSM's ability to interface with and improve our existing shop floor systems. This solution will enable our company to synchronize front- and back-end manufacturing processes as well as manage semiconductor costing and financial reconciliation.”

— Wayne Leong, InPhenix Controller--

“Because Microsoft Dynamics GP and Tensoft FSM provide the information we need to make key decisions as we enter a new market, the solutions are priceless to us.”

— Cory Johnson, Controller, Syndiant

“The Tensoft High Tech Dashboard (HTD) has become an indispensable pillar of our corporate decision-making system, boosting both visibility and productivity. We used to spend a great deal of time updating our dashboards, but with Tensoft HTD, we can easily provide daily updates to our sales and executive teams, helping us to really drive execution with the information.”

— Martin Silver, Chief Financial Officer, Vocera Inc.

“PlanetOut needed a solid solution to handle revenue deferral and management for its high volume of subscription transactions, as well as for its advertising revenue. We were pleased to find that Tensoft RDM automates the processes around this for us, and integrates seamlessly with our existing financial and accounting software as well. As a publicly traded company, the auditability and compliance functions of Tensoft RDM are critical to our SOX compliance plans. We have been using Tensoft RDM since mid-2007.”

— Andrew Chen, Corporate Controller, PlanetOut

“Like all growing technology companies, we need an efficient and effective infrastructure for our people to exceed our business goals. After reviewing the competitive landscape, we concluded Tensoft provides the best total solution to meet our requirements.”

— Geoff Barrall, CEO, Data Robotics

“CICLON Semiconductor was evaluating another tier-one ERP and supply chain solution that had an excellent reputation in our industry. The solution that Tensoft proposed had to at least match -- if not exceed -- the functionality in that solution. We were pleased to see the process efficiencies that Tensoft FSM achieved -- all without the "work-arounds" that the other solution required. Once we confirmed functionality parity, Tensoft's total value proposition was evident. We were also confident that the benefit of using the new implementation methodology outweighed the risk of being an early adopter.”

— Steve Heiner, VP of Manufacturing & Operations, CICLON

“Tensoft has excellent depth of knowledge of semiconductor assembly and test processes. We are pleased at how simple and straightforward our monthly closing process has become. Closing now takes days instead of weeks, which significantly improves our financial reporting and decision-making. The ease with which we track daily WIP in the FSM system on a daily basis has also been a pleasant surprise. We were pleased to partner with Tensoft on this first implementation of FSM in an in-house semiconductor manufacturing firm. It's a definite win/win for us both.”

— John L. McLemore, Vice-President, Business & Production Planning and Facilities, SEMICOA

“Sierra Monolithics chose Tensoft FSM as part of our long-term strategy to deploy a holistic enterprise platform to manage and support our projected growth. The company's robust semiconductor expertise and client base, as well as FSM's functionality and Sarbanes-Oxley support convinced us that this was the best solution for our needs.”

— Trevor Roots, Chief Financial Officer, Sierra Monolithics

“SEMICOA selected Tensoft to support its high reliability semiconductor IDM business over other ERP-MES systems because of the industry knowledge, experience and value offered by Tensoft’s complete and well established solution. Other ERP software systems lacked the understanding of the semiconductor’s Inverted Bill of Materials that the Tensoft solution is configured to address. Tensoft has a capable, proven, and cost effect product that addresses our current demands and expected future needs. We are confident that Tensoft will enable SEMICOA to continue to grow to new records in revenue and profitability, providing our customers with industry leading products and services.”

— Perry Denning, CEO, SEMICOA

“Because iWatt consists of both a power management IC business and a wholly owned subsidiary that manufactures power-conversion modules, we need to manage both an Inverted Bill of Materials for fabless production and a Bill of Materials for discrete manufacturing. Tensoft has been able to help us address this in a systematic, scalable approach. We consider this to be a critical success factor for iWatt’s growth, particularly as our production volume continues to ramp.”

— Alex Sinar, V.P. Operations, iWatt

“Our evaluation of the available options identified Tensoft as the one provider who could deliver end-to-end functionality including production control, operations planning, general accounting, production costing, and customer service — all in a single seamless solution. The advantage of this approach is that it will give management access to critical information across the organization, in a system that will scale with our business. The delivery of the entire system by one solution provider and the low upfront investment required made MyTensoftFSM a no-brainer for us.”

— Bruce Warren, VP & CFO, Axiom Microdevices

“Less than a month after ‘go-live,’ Tensoft FSM is already saving us time. Eventually, I think the time-savings will be tremendous. Tensoft FSM started adding value almost immediately.”

— Ron Wilderink, Chief Financial Officer, GCT Semiconductor

“MNC is a huge time saver! We were able to perform consolidations for more than 11 companies using 7 different currencies and over a 150 journal entries through the MNC consolidation process in less than 2 hours of time! We simply input the exchange rates necessary into GP and MNC handles the rest!”

— LaVonne Ghanavati, Senior Systems Consultant, MRP

“Before FSM, a Sales Operator in Korea input data, moved products through the assembly process in a manual system to finished goods, and then calculated inventory values using spreadsheets. This process was time-consuming and error-prone. We had to make many adjustments at month end. When we recorded inventory receipts from vendors, human error also created a number of problems. Tensoft FSM automates all that.”

— David Yoon, Controller, GCT Semiconductor

“Before Tensoft FSM, the valuation of inventory was extremely difficult. We used many spreadsheets and inputs from two systems. Our close process was extended for days. Now we accomplish in hours what used to take days. Every month, I used to struggle to reconcile inventory. With Tensoft FSM, I don’t have to do that. Now we have the luxury of having time to really analyze what’s going on.”

— Luong Thien Duong, Cost Accounting Manager, GCT Semiconductor

“One of the key benefits is that we now have a system that can ‘talk’ to Microsoft-Great Plains.”

— Charles Chang, IT Director, GCT Semiconductor

“We’ve had very positive experiences bringing Tensoft to our accounts. The Tensoft team is easy to work with, extremely competent, and trustworthy. I recommend their products and services to our customers frequently.”

— Mike Hatam, Former President, Application Services, Moyo Group

“Now I don't need to email commitment dates to the Sales team. I just enter them into Tensoft FSM, and they upload directly to the Microsoft-Great Plains’ Sales Module.”

— Jenny Lee, Logistics Manager, GCT Semiconductor
