SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- DynaSys, a leading provider of demand and supply chain planning solutions, today announced that DynaSys DSCP has been certified as DDMRP compliant by the Demand Driven Institute (DDI). This certification is timely and strategic for DynaSys customers.  DynaSys is a division of QAD Inc. (Nasdaq: QADA) (Nasdaq: QADB).

As the leading authority on Demand Driven methods, Demand Driven Institute evaluates and certifies software ensuring that a specific software has features and functions to implement, sustain and even improve a DDMRP implementation. Achieving the DDMRP certification has required a holistic effort by the DynaSys team. In addition to the R&D investment needed to obtain the certification, DynaSys professional services and business consultancy teams underwent and achieved personal DDMRP certification. The most important part of the certification project is the extensive customer validation that provided valuable feedback to the team.
