Enterprise Software Selection
Leading manufacturers around the country and globally are striving to transform to achieve optimized supply chains, increasingly flexible manufacturing, and high customer satisfaction. Enterprise software selection like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a key enabling technology of this journey.
Increasingly firms of all sizes have access to high performance computing capabilities and new business models that rely on high speed internet in the areas of marketing, sales, operations customer service and productivity. Together these combine to favor localization of manufacturing whereby small companies can look, act and compete like their large company counterparts.
