Advanced Systems Integration Helps Major Plumbing Manufacturer Achieve Success with Upgrade of Microsoft Dynamics AX

Zurn reengineers sales processes through automation and standardization with upgrade of its Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP software

LAKE FOREST, CA – September 19, 2012 – Advanced Systems Integration, Inc. (ASi) a value-added reseller (VAR) and member of the Microsoft Partner Network, earning the Silver designation in Enterprise Resource Planning and Training (focusing exclusively on Microsoft Dynamics AX) is pleased to announce the completion and success of its upgrade of Microsoft Dynamics AX for Zurn Industries, LLC.

Zurn, based in Erie, Pennsylvania, manufactures commercial-grade plumbing products and accessories and originally implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX in 2005. Seeking to further the benefits initially obtained with Microsoft Dynamics AX, Zurn focused its efforts on using the improved functionality and out-of-the-box best practices to better automate, standardize and reengineer remaining business system redundancies and processes.

One such area achieving exceptional improvement was Sales. Supported by a complex network of internal sales and marketing support in addition to over 50 external manufacturer sales representative agencies, Zurn was able to automate and standardize sales processes with the recent Microsoft Dynamics AX upgrade. Zurn uses Microsoft Dynamics AX to provide better customer service and support with real-time views of sales data, purchase orders, and on-hand inventory, achieving faster visibility, communication and response times. Targeted areas being improved include use of CRM, pipeline management and sales quotations.

Maurice Cohen, VP and Senior Consultant at ASi, concludes, “ASi was able to help Zurn further their original investment in Microsoft Dynamics AX and improve sales and customer support with its recent upgrade. Companies holding off on upgrading their Microsoft Dynamics AX systems should consider upgrading as a critical milestone if seeking to maintain a competitive advantage over competition. Dynamics AX continues to get better and better.”
