Corporate Enterprise Resource Planning System

The Problem

AVUM was commissioned to develop a new corporate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System which would offer order management, procurement, and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as well as integrate with the pre-existing applications such as the internal financial and supply chain.  The goal of the project was to provide our client the ability to overcome competitors in the race to reduce supply chain cycle time and costs, as well as provide maximum flexibility to accommodate the rapidly growing company.

The AVUM Solution

At the completion of the project in 1997, our client permanently switched off their legacy mainframe system.  Since then, AVUM's Enterprise Integration server and the deployed ERP system have served as the basis of their business, enabling the client to build a billion dollar division.

Our applied solution included:

• Highly experienced group of solution architects which designed all system components
• Strong project management with a skill for unifying the team's talents to maximum efficiency
• AVUM Enterprise Integration Server - used to manage all system interfaces (People Soft Financials, Warehouse Management, EDI, Procurement, Order Management, etc.)
• Apple WebObjects & Enterprise Object Frameworks (EOF), formerly NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP
• Oracle Enterprise Server
