The release of Visiprise Manufacturing 4.3 completes the trilogy of product releases related to the Visiprise-SAP partnership. In January, Visiprise Manufacturing was named an SAP-endorsed business solution, and in February Visiprise announced Visiprise ERP Shop Floor Integration 1.0 packaged composite application achieved "SAP® xAppsT Certified - Powered by SAP NetWeaver®" status.
