The presentation is designed to cover some of the more interesting and somewhat comical impacts to a speedy project success. These are the stories that sales people never tell.
Along with the untold story, there will be a lighthearted view of “The Valley of Death.” The VOD was coined by another software company and they use it to describe the cycle that all implementations go through. The cycle starts with needing a new system and ends with acceptance (similar to the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance).

Inventory is at the center of many Ross ERP modules - Planning, MRP, TraceExpress and more.. But because we’re all human, there are always things beyond the system’s control that can cause inaccuracies. At Boulder Brands, they realized that the biggest issues are sometimes outside the software, so they’ve put system triggers in place on the shop floor to help keep quantities as accurate as possible for both raw materials and finished product inventory. From an Aptean perspective we’ll talk about the system functionality and the tools in place that can help drive inventory accuracy, and then we’ll discuss Boulder’s practical experience from a user perspective, exploring their proactive approach that notifies shop floor supervisors when things seem off, and allows them to account for human error to improve accuracy, reinforce traceability and minimize office intervention.

During this session, we will review:
Creating a mobility solution for your workers in the field can be complex. With the high turnover in IT, or companies running on a limited IT staff, most companies do not have the skilled IT resources to research, evaluate, select, deploy or support a solution. Today's solution needs to factor in security more than ever before, since the question isn't when attackers will compromise mobile devices and networks for a data breach, but how will they attack enterprise mobility. During this session we'll review: how new features and functions will impact your current solution, how to design a field mobility solution that factors in future IoT, Cyber Security needs and where to start, and how to design a plan that requires less support from IT.
Hardy Diagnostics shares their experience in implementing Taxware using EMF. We will look at the design, implementation, and the initial results from the project as well as lessons learned.
