Manufacturing
Our impact on clients stretches from the strategic to the operational. This is especially true with manufacturing companies which have implemented ERP or related solutions in order to manage their business using integrated information because they have multi-dimensional data needs to manage their business:
- Executives need an aggregate vision of their business, perhaps against financial metrics (trailing indicators)
- Operational managers need to insure appropriate response to business opportunities and problems (operational metrics, or leading indicators)
- Within vertical organizations such as Distribution or Customer Service, transactional data is needed to identify, measure, and analyze productivity
Meeting these needs concurrently instead of solving only a single problem requires vertical experience, significant technical and business expertise, as well as innovative approaches to defining business value. Edgewater has the background and approach needed to provide our consumer goods clients with the highest possible value in the delivery of a wide range of business and technical solutions.
