One of the biggest challenges our clients face is in the alignment of their various ERP capabilities to their specific business processes and getting the most out of their ERP investment. ATI has experienced teams of consultants who can take on most initiatives and challenges from upgrades to end to end implementations. Our consultants can be engaged on a staff augmentation basis for short term efforts or point expertise, but we have created solution-based offerings around four core ERP offerings.
Data Migration Quality:
Every organization’s ERP data is unique to their business, and there is no standard template that is all inclusive for ERP data migration and maintenance. Our teams have developed the best practices to address challenges, this includes the reduction of data redundancy, and increasing data integrity through validation and formatting.
Stakeholder buy-in:
If you take a cross section of an organization and ask various stakeholders about a specific data element of their ERP master data, it isn’t uncommon to get varying responses as to what data represents and what degrees of variance are tolerable.
Organizations implement ERP solutions to optimize their business operations and mitigate the risk of blind decision-making. With access to the right data sets and proper strategy for reporting, analytics data become obtainable and most importantly, actionable. We have analytics and reporting professionals that can leverage the wealth of data obtainable within your ERP environment for Financials (FICO), Manufacturing Optimization, Customer Retention, Human Capital Management, or any other areas of organizational focus. We can assist clients in challenges ranging from the identification of their key performance indicators (KPIs), to the identification of the specific data elements and the development of the reports necessary to give them the visibility for decision making. Where stock reporting isn’t providing the insights needed, our practice experts are well versed in multiple reporting tools to supplement the report development efforts.
As a part of our migration efforts, we work with our clients to obtain a single version of the truth across the organization and various business units. This insures not only a higher degree of data quality, but it also promotes a better understanding of basis of the core data set.
Regulatory compliance:
When transferring data, keeping in compliance with industry and government regulations is paramount. We can navigate existing regulatory standards while helping our clients plan for upcoming new legislation and practices.
In addition to providing senior level ERP consultants and services to our clients, ATI runs a junior talent program dedicated to developing emerging talent and the next generation of ERP professionals. This is beneficial to our clients in two ways. First, it allows our clients to scale their teams at a lower blended cost than using only senior-level resources for scalability. Secondly, our clients get the ability to watch junior level consultants perform in their ERP team and environment, with the option at the end of contract to fill FTE positions as needs arise with these junior consultants. Our ERP Practice Leads provide point expertise and delivery quality oversight to give our clients confidence in the work being delivered. We partner with university programs, and ERP software providers to train top notch ERP consultants for the future.
Effective CRM starts first with an understanding of an organization, their processes and workflows, and how those can be optimized using the Salesforce platform. Too often, we encounter Salesforce instances where a template approach has been taken which hinders access to the critical customer data needed to have effective sales and marketing. Our Salesforce practice is made up of seasoned implementors that have worked cross industry across numerous organizations. This experience gives them the ability to innovate and leverage configuration and a knowledge base of code they have used with previous clients, to create a best-of-class Salesforce platform for any size organization or enterprise.
Our teams are comfortable doing everything from point expertise and design work, to full blown first time conversions and implementations of the Salesforce platform and can be scaled accordingly to be flexible with your needs.
