For the third consecutive year, LANSA has been named to the START-IT 125. This directory of the most influential technology providers in the manufacturing space was announced March 14. The list provides manufacturers with a snapshot of the industrial market and the companies that will have the greatest impact on shaping its future. Companies are selected by the editors of START-IT magazine and its editorial advisory board and represent the most influential technology providers in manufacturing.

Peggy Smedley, editorial director of START-IT, said, "Each year, we see more change in the manufacturing industry and the available technology, and each year the editors of START-IT must be more critical in examining the top technology providers. The START-IT 125 lets our readers know what the best solutions are, who can provide them, and how they can help manufacturers improve business practices."

Steve Gapp, president of LANSA Americas, said, "Once again being named to the START-IT 125 is an honor for LANSA. This recognition is further evidence that our technology gives manufacturers what they need to remain competitive as well as move their businesses forward in this economy."
