At Friedman Corporation, innovation has always been at the core of what we do. From our earliest ERP solutions to today’s advanced, connected Frontier manufacturing platforms, we’re committed to meeting the needs of modern manufacturers. Our long-standing partnership with IBM continues to play a key role in that innovation. It empowers our Frontier ERP users with the performance, reliability, and security of IBM’s powerful technology ecosystem.
Our latest release, Frontier 4.2, reflects this ongoing commitment to progress. The update delivers enhanced integration capabilities, improved performance, and a more seamless user experience. In turn, it helps manufacturers design, build, and provide custom products faster and more efficiently than ever.
Innovation in Action
As part of our commitment to technological advancements, we will be participating in IBM TechXchange in Orlando, Florida, on October 7-8, and would love to connect. If you’re attending, stop by and meet Friedman President Craig Skonieczny from 4–7 PM on Tuesday and Wednesday at the COMMON Booth #179 – TechXchange Sandbox. It’s a great opportunity to talk about Frontier’s latest advancements, upcoming development initiatives, and the future of manufacturing technology.
