New Generation Computing Inc (NGC), a wholly owned subsidiary of American Software Inc, announced that Rocky Shoes & Boots has selected NGC's integrated product lifecycle management (PLM) solution, e-PLM.

Last year Rocky Shoes & Boots installed NGC's e-SPS, a global sourcing solution, at its Nelsonville, Ohio, headquarters to help streamline sourcing of footwear in real time via the Internet.

With the addition of e-PLM to their previously installed NGC e-SPS solution, Rocky Shoes & Boots is deploying the most robust fully integrated web-based PLM and global sourcing solution that will streamline design, product development, sourcing, production and inbound logistics.

Mike Brooks, CEO of Rocky Shoes & Boots, said, "By adding NGC's e-PLM modules to our e-SPS global sourcing solution, we will have real-time visibility on all aspects of the product development lifecycle as well as sourcing and production.”

"We believe NGC's end to end PLM and Global Sourcing solution is unique in the market and will give Rocky Shoes & Boots competitive advantage, speed to market and improved efficiencies in our Product Development and Sourcing areas," Brooks added.

Alan Brooks, President of NGC, said, "Rocky Boots & Shoes recognized the importance today of deploying fully integrated Web-based sourcing and PLM tools to take control of what has become a truly global manufacturing process for footwear and sewn products."

"We are excited to haveRocky Boots & Shoes expand their relationship with us and we continue to look forward to working with them on this important implementation," he said.
