We concentrate on improving basic business operations. Whether its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) our focus is to help clients realize the full value of these management tools.

Enterprise Asset Management
You can achieve greater efficiencies in many areas of your overall business delivery model, but if your assets are under-performing, it shortchanges every other measure you take to increase profitability in delivery. Through effective enterprise asset management techniques, your company can have all of your assets working optimally to maximize uptime and increase the longevity (and productivity) of your equipment. We have regularly worked with clients in asset intensive process industries as well as clients with linear assets. Linear assets are those that are geographically dispersed and connected to each other via a network, such as roads, pipelines, etc. Examples include Utilities, Public Works, Mass Transit systems, and these continuous assets are maintained in networks. Their monitoring and maintenance is crucial to maintaining productivity and often times, critical service levels. The establishment of pro-active inspection, condition assessment, and a process to perform predictive analysis of these assets is important to ensure that services are not interrupted, which could alienate customers and dramatically increase costs. |

Enterprise Resource Planning
The goal of ERP is to improve and streamline internal business processes, which typically requires reengineering of current business processes. Realizing the full potential of an ERP application requires that the organization function in an integrated fashion where each department and more importantly each individual understand their respective role and how their performance has an impact both upstream and downstream within the company. An ERP application crosses many organizational boundaries including product planning, raw material purchasing, inventory control, quality control or assurance, product distribution, order taking and tracking, finance, accounting and human resources.
The boundaries of ERP systems, sometimes referred to as supply chain systems and ecommerce systems, extends to the organization's suppliers, distributors, partners and customers. In practice, many ERP implementations involve the integration of ERP with external information systems. |
