QAD Implementation
QAD implementation projects can be a large investment with positive returns, as long as the project is properly planned, scoped and executed. An upgrade project investment can often be as large an implementation investment.
Implementing QAD or any ERP can provide the support for many EBITDA enhancing improvements, including but not limited to reduced inventory/working capital, improved throughput, more knowledgeable customer pricing and more disciplined adherence to purchasing agreements. However, these projects can be very challenging and are almost always a major investment.
Since 1992, Logan Consulting has continuously refined and enhanced its ERP implementation methodology to adapt to changes in tools and technologies to provide clients with the planning, management and execution of complex ERP projects.
QAD implementation projects are typically complex, especially when QAD customer operations span multiple countries, tax jurisdictions and have complex manufacturing and distribution needs. Proper scoping and planning is naturally quite important, as is the ability to execute and manage the projects to ensure the project is on-time, on-scope and on-budget.
Key Objectives:
Help the client become self-sufficient by the go-live date
Plan the work and work the plan (stay on-time and on-budget)
Deliver Best Practices business process knowledge to the client
Transfer QAD system knowledge to the client
Eliminate or minimize source-code customization
