ERP & IT Systems Software Knowledge
We have expertise in diverse ERP applications and a thorough competitive knowledge of all of the major current product offerings such as DBA Manufacturing, Epicor, Fishbowl, Global Shop, Infor's Syteline, JD Edwards, Made2Manage, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, SAP, SysPro, Traverse, Visual Manufacturing, and others. With the hundreds of packages on the market, we would be wary of any consulting company that professes to know them all thoroughly. Many packages have some similar characteristics and some very important distinctions that should be understood. A thorough understanding of your organization, coupled with an understanding of the desired characteristics, will increase the probability of success.
