Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems were developed to integrate an organization’s business practices across the entire supply chain — from supplier to customer — into a virtual network of shared information. These systems are modular, scaleable, open, and flexible.

The IrisLogic ERP Practice provides rapid, high-quality, cost-effective ERP implementation assistance, as well as support for on-going operations. Our unique combination of people, processes and products (i.e., knowledge assets and tools) ensures you get the most from your ERP investment.

Our philosophy is to implement the basic system quickly, so customers can immediately begin using the system for hands-on configuration, prototyping, and training. This approach minimizes the risks associated with ERP, reduces the implementation time frames, and accelerates the realization of benefits.

We advise our clients to begin by implementing the ERP system in its most basic form. Only after the new application environment is up and running, and the organization has learned more of the capabilities of the new system, do we suggest building onto this base the more complex, high-change initiatives (such as supply chain optimization or business-to-business electronic commerce).

This strategy helps our clients avoid putting all their eggs in one basket — often associated with large-scale ERP failures. This approach allows our clients to make change happen, one step at a time, at a pace that is appropriate for each, realizing the benefits of the system as early on as possible.

“IrisLogic is committed to developing flexible, long-term partnerships with our clients. Shared goals and objectives, mutual respect and synergy characterize these relationships. We are willing to share your risk and creatively identify an approach and resource plan that incorporates the best of both your organization and ours. Our mission is to work with you to realize your definition of success with your ERP initiative.

We complement the IrisLogic client partnership by working closely with the ERP organization. Joint planning, shared roles and responsibilities, and a common methodology and toolkit help maximize the value our clients receive from their ERP investment. “
