Business Applications

Enterprise Resource Planning

Our assessment and planning offerings for Enterprise Business Applications cover financials, supply chain, human capital planning, customer relationship planning, and enterprise performance management, in other words, the collections of applications often referred to as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Our services include a review of your current state and an assessment of solution fit and road mapping. We will create inventories of your business process/cycles, systems, software, integrations, and create a prioritized roadmap based on leading practice maturity, and technical readiness, tailored to your business drivers and goals.

Whether you are considering new software solutions, just purchased a new ERP, or merely looking to understand your path forward, we can help you to ensure you move forward in a way that leverages leading practices and creates an achievable execution plan.

Too many times, enterprise business applications and ERP systems are implemented with the intent of getting the software live rather than true transformation. This approach often this falls short of achieving real business value and is not the way we do things at SimplyPut. If you feel there is trapped value in your implementation contact us for an assessment and we can help you unlock that value.

Customer Relationship Management

Customer Relationship Management spans the time from when customer engagement starts and continues through aftermarket service and support. Every touch point is an opportunity to deliver superior customer service which creates differentiation, drives growth, increases profitability, and collects critical customer feedback.

At SimplyPut we believe superior customer service is critical in today’s world where customers favor suppliers who make their lives easier, not harder. A lower cost is quickly forgotten when a customer faces disappointment in product or service.

Financial Intelligence and Data Mining

Financial systems are the backbone of business.

At SimplyPut, we frequently see companies who are faced with a need to implement new systems to gain a better handle on their business. The old systems may have too many manual processes, duplicate entries of data, disconnects between related activities, requirements for manual adjustments, all of which can delay closings and make the output less reliable.

New financial systems can:

• Improve efficiency and accuracy by automating more tasks, reducing opportunities for manual errors, resulting in improved accuracy of the financial data.
• Apply advanced data mining and analytics capabilities to unlock the power and value of your data.
• Provide better insights into the business by providing more detailed and accurate information in formats which are faster and easier to generate, consume and act upon.
• Improve compliance by better helping the businesses comply with government regulations, especially in regulated industries, such as financial services and healthcare.
• Support growth by replacing systems which have just simply been outgrown, providing the tools needed to manage the company more effectively as it grows.
• Improve security by deploying new financial systems built with security ingrained in the application helping to protect the business from fraud and other financial crimes.
