Emergys Corp. Provides Strategies To Help Clients Maximize Their

Emergys Corp., a North Carolina based business transformation service provider announces strategies for large manufacturing companies to maximize benefits from the investments on their Enterprise Resource Planning solutions.
Large manufacturers are under considerable market pressure to reduce costs and accelerate time to market. With business critical data spread across multiple divisions and disparate systems, which are vital to making informed decisions in the board rooms, corporations are often faced with the challenges of making the right IT decisions for these off-headquarter locations. Pushing the Tier 1 application from its headquarter into its divisions and plants may be overwhelming for the divisions in terms of the complexity of the application and the costs; and yet increasing globalization mandates information integration now more than ever before.

For such dilemmas, Emergys suggests a 'Hub & Spoke' strategy. A robust tier 1 ERP solution is deployed/maintained at the headquarter location or the corporate 'hub' allowing the manufacturer to manage its global operations. And a flexible, low-cost application like Microsoft Business Solutions - Axapta is implemented at the division or 'spoke' level. All the integrated solutions at the divisions' level are connected to the corporate 'hub' and the entire organization moves forward in sync.

Emergys President & CEO, Jai Shankar opines "The Hub & Spoke strategy allows corporate leaders to implement a cost effective solution to track plant performance and meet with regulatory reporting requirements; and the division leaders to manage plant operations and provide consolidated financial reporting to the hub without the overheads of a tier-1 enterprise class solution." He further continues, "Microsoft Axapta perfectly fits these requirements with its high-end functionality and low total cost of ownership."

Customization is easily accomplished at division and/or user level in Microsoft Axapta with its unique layering structure. Tools such as forecasting, planning and financial reporting let the divisions automate inefficient manual processes. Besides, the simple data structures and interfaces allow easy data analysis. "Axapta provides you world-class manufacturing functionality," adds the COO Mahesh Ramanujam, "and the ability to streamline your operations. With the advanced analysis and reporting capabilities, you can finally make your divisions lean and mean with the right people manufacturing the right things at the right times."

Microsoft Business Solutions Axapta can be implemented quickly at the division level, within as little as 3-6 months. Its smooth integration with the 'hub' solution makes information flow transparent from the shop floor to the board room, so you can make fast, informed decisions and stay ahead of the game.
