Manufacturing Information Systems,
Inc. (dba MISys, Inc.) was formed in 1977 with the charter to provide
PC-based solutions to users who were not technically involved with their
computers.
In the course of many successful installations, the company
developed a nation-wide reputation for its in-depth knowledge of
business accounting applications, particularly in the area of
manufacturing.
The newfound expertise in PC-based
accounting systems, led MISys to develop a manufacturing software
product as an add-on to the Accpac Plus accounting series from ACCPAC
International (AI), a division of Computer Associates International
(CA). CA, headquartered in Islandia, New York, is the second largest
independent software company in the world. CA's accounting products,
Accpac Plus for DOS and Accpac Advantage for Windows are the best
selling accounting packages worldwide.

In 1983, MISys released its first
version of MISys/DOS Manufacturing Inventory which provided multi-level
bills of material, inventory control of raw materials and resources, and
integrated purchasing capabilities.
In 1985, MISys moved its corporate
offices away from the Massachusetts minicomputer beltway to the Green
Mountains of Vermont where it performs all of its software development,
technical writing, production, training, sales, and support.
Since that time, MISys Manufacturing has
continually refined its MISys/DOS Manufacturing System and its strategic
relationship with Accpac International. In 1996 MISys Manufacturing was selected as
ACCPAC Developer Of The Year for its products which make Accpac
Advantage accounting the preferred solution for small- to medium-sized
manufacturing firms.
In 1992, MISys Manufacturing introduced a major new
product called MISys/DOS Manufacturing Scheduling which added full MRP/MPS
capabilities to MISys/DOS Manufacturing Inventory. Using an innovative
interactive approach to Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Master
Production Scheduling (MPS), MISys Manufacturing sofware provided small- to medium-sized
manufacturing firms with tools that were previously available only in
complex and expensive minicomputer-based products.
In 1995, MISys Manufacturing added Serial/Lot
Tracking to the MISys/DOS Manufacturing System. This product allows
users to track the serial or lot numbers of raw materials and finished
goods. MISys/DOS Serial/Lot Tracking and the extensive reporting
capabilities of the MISys/DOS Manufacturing System allow manufacturers
to comply with many of the requirements of ISO 9000.
Since its inception, MISys Manufacturing has sold
over 6,500 copies of the popular MISys/DOS Manufacturing System. This
system is sold and supported through a network of 1,700 resellers and
installers in 38 countries. Resellers purchase the products through
MISys Manufacturing's 18 distributors worldwide.
In early 1995, MISys Manufacturing started
development of the MISys Manufacturing System for Windows based on
Accpac for Windows accounting from Accpac International. MISys Manufacturing received
the 1996 Developer Of The Year award for this development from Accpac
International.
In 1997 MISys Manufacturing released MISys
Level 2, revealing it's multi-level approach to marketing MRP software
which appeals to less sophisticated end-users with the low-end Level 1
product and offers an attractive upgrade path to Level 2. MISys Level 2
maintains Manufacturing Orders Production and performs Master Production
Scheduling and Material Requirements Planning (MRP I).
In 1998, MISys Manufacturing released MISys
Level 3, which provides comprehensive Shop Floor Control functionality
to those users who demand MRP II capabilities.
The MISys Manufacturing R&D Department began the development of a Microsoft .NET-based manufacturing system based on the proven functionality for the Accpac version (now called MISys SAE) in the Fall of 2005. After two years of intensive development and testing, MISys Small Business Manufacturing (MISys SBM aka MISys Manufacturing) was released in March 2007. Since then, a number of product enhancements as well as additional function modules have been released.
MISys Small Business Manufacturing was identified as an "Awesome Add-on" for QuickBooks by the Sleeter Group at Sleeter's annual QuickBooks Partner Conference in October 2007. And again received the Sleeter Award in 2010.
From its headquarters in Woodstock,
Vermont, MISys Manufacturing continues to develop its product line and its
international marketing efforts as part of AI's Accpac Advantage
accounting series (now Sage Accpac ERP). New and accessory products are being developed to
compliment the popularity of its Windows-based MISys Manufacturing
System.
