Priority Software Ltd., a leading global provider of ERP solutions, today announced the expansion of its business operations in North America, with the establishment of Priority Software USA and the recent purchase of US-based ERP consulting and services firm Performa Apps.

Ted Rohm, Senior ERP Analyst at TEC (Technology Evaluation Centers) analysts and software selection experts, comments, "Priority Software, with the acquisition of the talent and experience of Performa Apps, has positioned itself to make an immediate impact in the ERP market in North America. The Priority ERP solution brings broad and deep ERP capabilities to multiple industries at a very accessible price and low total cost of ownership (TCO)."

In response to growing demand for its flagship ERP model, Priority is targeting the SMB market in the region to offer an alternative to the complex, costly traditional ERP systems from giant vendors. Robust functionality, combined with a high degree of flexibility and a simple and intuitive user experience has brought major savings in TCO of up to 70%, including internal costs and maintenance.

US customers can also expect to benefit from Priority's dedication to future proofing technology with data analytics, APIs, application generators and more. This enables customers in sectors such as manufacturing to develop Internet of Things (IoT) services on top of the Priority software platform.

Additionally, the company's strong commitment to cloud delivery model (all modules also available as SaaS) sets it apart from other vendors, as it fast becomes the preferred consumption model for enterprise software platforms in mature markets.

Andres Richter, CEO of Priority Software, comments, "We have several hundred customers in North & Central America with the potential to expand our presence in the region. We are proud of our initiative with Performa Apps and are confident that we can bring a new level of innovation to customers, ultimately helping to make ERP easier.
