IBM Power (AS/400) based ERP for mid-market discrete and process manufacturers. Strong in repetitive and mixed-mode manufacturing for companies on IBM i infrastructure.

Specialist ERP for mid-market manufacturers running IBM Power (AS/400 / IBM i) infrastructure. If your company has deep IBM i investment and institutional knowledge, HarrisData avoids a complete platform migration while adding modern manufacturing ERP capabilities. Less competitive on the open market against cloud-native alternatives.
