Organisations have invested heavily in IT to enhance service, operational efficiency and reduce costs. However, despite huge IT spends, companies must also re-examine their processes and systems holistically before they can maximise technology investment returns.
Implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions provides a means by which multiple, heterogeneous systems can be integrated for maximum performance and efficiency. They enable companies to reduce system redundancy and increase process efficiency by providing standardised applications for a range of business areas and maximum re-use of enterprise information. ERP systems can enhance operational effectiveness and productivity through a combination of IT and business process analysis, design, implementation and management.
As an independent systems integrator for ERP Solutions, particularly those from SAP and Oracle, LogicaCMG is well-placed to offer impartial advice about your ideal business soultions.
We also have an international network of market-focused consultants who understand how to best exploit IT for competitive differentiation and profitability. In addition, we will guide organisations through the typical complexities of ERP implementations. We operate dedicated competence centres for the leading vendors, so we can quickly and effectively align your business and its processes with leading solutions.
By involving LogicaCMG early in your ERP implementation, you have the best chance of success. We have a strong IT heritage and also employ highly skilled business analysts. This means companies benefit from our live project experience and a carefully managed wall-to-wall implementation underpinned by best practices, engineered by experts. LogicaCMG's business and technical consultants ensure that your ERP implementation delivers benefits as quickly as possible without the delays often associated with such key IT projects. Once the project has gone live, LogicaCMG can manage its day-to-day operational and functional maintenance. This managed service capability, together with our dedicated competence centres, can ensure maximum efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership for our clients.
Looking at the broad ERP solution map LogicaCMG has chosen to focus internationally on a number of industry markets: banking, insurance, public sector, energy and utilities, industry-distribution-transport and automotive. The same goes for the following cross-industry solutions: financials, logistics, human resources, business intelligence, portals, CRM, mobile applications, PLM (environment, health & safety and work & asset management) and real estate. For these specific focus areas, extra investment in knowledge, tools and templates takes place.
Supported by strong partnerships with ERP suppliers we offer both implementation and support services. More than 3000 consultants are working for our clients both in local implementations and in global rollouts. Apart from that, we support more than 200 customers with application and infrastructure maintenance agreements, sometimes on an outsourced basis. The latter is only possible by combining our functional expertise with a strong technology contribution.
LogicaCMG is one of the few international partners with a strong HR (both HRM and payroll) specialisation. This means that we are able to cover all aspects of ERP offerings, almost a necessity looking at the integrated functionality.
