Ideaca & eBECS Announce a Strategic Partnership to offer

Toronto, Canada – Ideaca and eBECS announced a strategic partnership to deliver a lean manufacturing solution integrated with Microsoft’s flagship ERP application - Microsoft Dynamics™ AX to organizations in the Canadian marketplace.

Today, “lean” has become a strategic initiative in the manufacturing sector as companies focus on ways to eliminate waste in their production and administrative processes while providing customers with the flexibility, reliability and responsiveness to deliver the required goods ’just in time’. External market pressures such as offshore competition, global outsourcing, profitability pressures, capacity and capital constraints have set the stagefor lean initiatives.

The partnership between Ideaca and eBECS will provide organizations with the management expertise and tools to support their lean initiatives through the delivery of localized services responsive to an organization’s specific needs. Muneer Hirji, President of Ideaca, stated, “I see this as a strategic opportunity for eBECS and Ideaca to take a leadership role in providing lean manufacturing based on Microsoft Business Solutions. Our combined industry experience and unique service offering will allow us to deliver tremendous value to our customers“.

eBECS Partner Marketing Director, Stephen Wilson, stated, “We see Ideaca as a strategic partner in the distribution chain between us and the end customer. Ideaca’s geographic locations of Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver provide links to these core Canadian markets.”

Lean principles have a proven track record of operational and strategic success, translating into increased value to the end customer. The eBECS product is an extension of Microsoft Dynamics™ AX and offers lean functionality in sales and purchase forecasts, supplier and production Kanbans, flow schedules and sales orders.
The eBECS Lean Enterprise Solution along with Microsoft Dynamics™ AX is now being offered by Ideaca to manufacturing organizations throughout Canada.
