Zontec: Uniquely Qualified to Be Your SPC Provider

Your agenda as a quality professional is crystal clear: you must produce at the highest levels of manufacturing efficiency, product conformance, waste reduction and time-to-market. With so many SPC software vendors to choose from, how do you determine which company can truly deliver on its promises? When it comes to functionality, user satisfaction and overall value, Zontec stands at the forefront of the quality industry.

For those in software evaluation mode, here are ten guiding principles that have come together over the past 25 years to make Zontec, the company, and its brand, unique:

Relevance - Zontec recognizes that quality is by no means a "one-size-fits all" endeavor. Our product line has been designed for a full spectrum of manufacturing requirements: Synergy 100™ for the entry-level or occasional SPC user; Synergy 200™ for those with wireless mobility needs; Synergy 1000™ for the basic standalone or small workgroup community; Synergy 2000™ for enterprise-wide quality management; and Synergy 3000™ for database-intensive global implementation spanning Windows and the Web.

Vision and innovation - We were there in the early DOS days of computerized SPC, pioneering many capabilities such as real-time control charting, universal gage interfacing and networked quality monitoring dashboards. We've since evolved and improved through four generations of SPC products. In fact in 2006, we became the first and remain the only SPC software developer to launch a complete product on Microsoft's revolutionary .NET™ programming technology which establishes the blueprint for highly collaborative, future-ready software applications. Our recent iPhone® 3G compatibility is another demonstration of our commitment to bringing evolving technology to you. Zontec-inspired designs and executions are often imitated by the competition, but never successfully carried out.

Completeness - Our software represents a total package that includes data collection, charting, monitoring, analytics, reporting and messaging: all easily accessible from one main program window. We don't put our customers into a position of buying a la carte. That approach makes us a much better value.

Fast results - Inefficient processes can drain 20% or more from the corporate bottom line. Therefore, a rapid startup is critical to your success. A Zontec SPC rollout can be accomplished in hours - not weeks or months, meaning you can begin making process improvements and reducing costs immediately.

Integrated data collection automation - Production data can originate on numerous isolated systems and hardware platforms. Zontec has the know-how and optional interface applications to bring your external data into the Synergy SPC environment quickly, easily and meaningfully.

Flexibility - We give you options. From multiple data entry methods to user-defined screen layouts . . . in-depth data queries . . . unlimited data point displays on charts . . . comprehensive traceability records and audit trails . . . highly customizable reports . . . international language editions . . . and much, much more, our technology knows no boundaries.

Ease of use, maintenance and support - Complicated software never wins user acceptance. Zontec software is conceived for the ultimate in intuitiveness and interactivity. In our products, the need for corrective actions and process adjustments couldn't be more obvious. Users become confident and productive SPC enthusiasts in less than a day's time. In addition, Synergy 100, 200, 1000 and 2000 can be routinely maintained without IT involvement; only Synergy 3000 requires Database Administration resources.

Responsiveness - Our in-house expertise in quality, engineering, computer science and manufacturing applications gives us outstanding insight in responding to your support requests, troubleshooting hardware compatibility problems, solving network connectivity issues, establishing a training plan that fits your business needs and customizing the software to address an industry-specific requirement.

Investment protection - We believe software should grow with your business. Should you start out small and wish to upgrade later to a more sophisticated system, we'll credit your original purchase price to the upgrade. We take the risk out of choosing SPC software.

Credibility - For over a quarter-century, Zontec SPC systems have stood the test of time. Day in and day out, more than 5,000 satisfied companies around the world in virtually every industrial category rely on Zontec to help them raise the bar on quality and drive up corporate profitability. We invite you to join them.

Experience the Power of SPC; experience Zontec.
