The information challenge
During the past decade, many companies invested heavily in ERP and advanced planning systems, in an attempt to optimize business processes. But those companies learned that, despite proven business benefits in operations, such systems do not address the gap between strategic business decisions and tactical policies. Those companies also experienced the frustration of having gigabytes of data in the enterprise systems but none of it available in a format that supports the strategic and tactical decision-making process. And that is precisely why Equazion was created: one-of-a-kind, intelligent support for making product and customer business decisions from a broader, 360° perspective.
Easy, flexible, fast
The first stages in the Equazion methodology focus on a rapid – but controlled – deployment within your organization. Based on the experience of multiple implementation tracks, we developed a deployment kit allowing us to go live within 6 to 10 weeks, independent of your existing enterprise systems. The flexible and standard data interface of Equazion integrates seamlessly with different ERP systems and business realities. During the deployment phase, both qualitative and quantitative data are gathered, to guarantee a sustainable solution in line with your products, customers and organization.
