While Exact uses the phrase “powered by” that doesn’t mean Synergy provides the ERP engine. “It’s very tightly integrated with financial back office types of product,” says Scott Leete, pre-sales manager for Exact’s American operations. For example, the connection to Synergy gives Macola “the ability to receive against a purchase order using the web interface. It’s a very tightly integrated system,” Leete says. The platform integration, Leete emphasizes, is not aimed at producing anything like Project Green, the abandoned effort via which Microsoft was going to unify its Dynamics product line.
