Business Requirements To comply with your corporate global ERP standardization strategy, it is sometimes inevitable to migrate from your beloved ERP system to another ERP system. For examples: QAD to SAP QAD to Oracle QAD to Fourth Shift Excel to QAD Fourth Shift to QAD SAP to QAD Oracle to QAD Unfortunately, over the last 20 years, there is no simple "plug in" data conversion tools for any ERP system I have heard so far.

Current Limitation Sometimes there is a need to perform BULK Item Master creation, either from the engineering PDM, inter-company product transfer or simply a new product launches. If you are in a manufacturing company where item master creation is a burden because of the number of items to be created in (1.4.1) or (1.4.3) + (1.4.5) + (1.4.7) + (1.4.9) is too time-consuming and tedious and error prone, you need alternative solutions to entering the data one by one. Once you have setup the Item Master, next you must create the Product Structure and Routing. These 2 screens are [...]

Current QAD Limitation There are many companies that require to use discrete Purchase Order rather than EDI or using the QAD Supplier Schedule Order modules. Typically they want to control PO by price due to contract and supplier delivery performance using the Promise Date of the discrete Purchase Order.

Project Management Template For your Organization

Get the facts right The failure rate of IT Projects can be alarming; per Gartner, approximately 74% of IT projects fail, are late, or go over budget. META GROUP REPORTS that a staggering 55 percent to 75 percent of all CRM projects fail to meet their objectives. On average, about 70 percent of all IT-related projects fail to meet their objectives, so CRM's failure rate -- along with the appalling 70-percent failure rate for ERP implementation projects and the shockingly high 70-percent failure rate experienced by those implementing SCM (supply-chain management) -- is about as distressing as a 70-percent [...]
