Abstract: Business Apps Expertise from Laurus Technologies Makes SAP Optimization a Snap



In order to stay competitive and flexible in the ever-changing world of business, many companies are looking to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications to gain organizational insight and efficiency. ERP systems can help a corporation gain an advantage by tracking resources such as costs, time, materials and people. Knowing where and how resources are being used is a key factor in organizational planning and strategy and acts as important tool for optimization.

ERP systems are especially vital in the manufacturing industry, where even minor changes in resource availability can impact profit margins. As a result, the ability to track resources and make strategic shifts on short notice can create a substantial competitive advantage. SAP, a leading provider of ERP software, including supply chain and customer-relationship management, offers a variety of product suites designed to facilitate strategic planning and reduce operating costs in this ultra-competitive industry.

Laurus Technologies understands the complexities of ERP systems and how they can provide the edge every company is seeking. Advance, a top lighting systems manufacturer, needed to amend its financial reporting system in order to align its practices more closely with those of its European-based parent company. After missing two key deadlines, the company turned to Laurus to assist in this important system enhancement. By working with Advance's executive management and internal IT department, Laurus was able to meet the final deadline for the project.

The key to success on this project, however, was to minimize system downtime. Because Advance is a 24/7 manufacturing operation, any system downtime can mean lost revenue. The changes to Advance's system were made over the course of a weekend, due to Laurus' planning and expert staff who executed the plan flawlessly.
