Farber Systems, Inc. (FSI) was incorporated in 1993 to provide custom software solutions to companies where standard software packages did not necessarily meet their needs. FSI has written numerous accounting and inventory management systems implemented in different platforms at a variety of corporations including investment banks, retail banks, insurance organizations, chemical manufacturing & distribution, furniture manufacturing, corporate housing and terminal distribution. In 1998, FSI created, marketed and distributed the r:\evolution 2001 MIS, Accounting, Multi-Company General Ledger & Inventory off the shelf retail package sold at all CompUSA stores nationwide. A small selection of current and past customers include J.P. Morgan Chase, UBS, Credit Suisse, KPMG, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, City of New York, Jeen International, Carlyle Custom Convertibles and Horseheads Sand & Transloading Terminal.
All software created by FSI is custom created to exactly match customer needs. Our distinct strategic advantage is in our unmatched ability to rapidly create advanced systems in significantly shorter timespans than other organizations. For example, FSI can create an entirely custom solution faster than most companies can tailor or customize their pre-existing packages. We can do this because of the volume of systems that we have written and the vast experience we have in writing and implementing them. We know what we have written in the past and have the ability to reuse codes and functions – so we are never re-inventing the wheel.
The FSI pricing and support model is unique from almost every other software organization in existence. The FSI model involves a single consistent monthly fee. This fee includes all hosting, disaster recovery hosting, maintenance and unlimited modifications to the implemented software. Such modifications are always performed and implemented rapidly. Our mission is to make the end user experience as simple and efficient as possible. Significant industry experience has shown that when a customer is charged up front for software licenses and then charged separately for consulting / modifications, customers become de-incentivized to get the changes they really need from the software to make it fully efficient and functional. As such, most organizational software is stale, inefficient and quickly outlives its original purpose. Classical maintenance programs of software packages only include some defect support and do not include custom modifications – which effectively turns maintenance fees into donations to the software company.
