Bottom-Line Benefits of Made2Manage Systems' Enterprise Software Help Customers Create New Revenue Streams
c Scott Limited's IT Department; Enables the Company to Spin Off Consulting Practice
INDIANAPOLIS, April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The traditional benefits of an enterprise business solution such as operational and time savings are well known, but some small and midsize manufacturers have been able to achieve even more impressive results with a highly successful implementation. At Eric Scott Limited, a high-quality leather-goods maker that supplies other manufacturers, the decision to implement the Made2Manage® Enterprise Business System from Made2Manage Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: MTMS - News) enabled company decision makers to re-deploy its IT team as a high-profit consultancy.
Designed specifically for the unique needs of manufacturers with less than $250 million in revenues, Made2Manage System's fully integrated enterprise- class software solutions give its customers the ability to focus on their business instead of their operations. The business benefits achieved and the ease and flexibility of the Made2Manage system allowed Eric Scott Limited to realize new opportunities for its transforming business.
Missouri-based Eric Scott implemented the Made2Manage Enterprise Business Systems' portal solution, M2M(TM) VIP, and its business collaboration product, M2M Link, in January 2000. After near-immediate improvements in productivity and overall efficiency levels, company leaders were left with a talented IT department with time on their hands. When local companies began turning to the Eric Scott team for help with design and development of manufacturing- and service-related solutions, the company seized the opportunity to spin off a consulting group called EscoTek Technology Solutions.
"After successfully implementing Made2Manage, our team no longer had to baby-sit our legacy system," said Joe Young, director of information systems for Eric Scott Limited and business technology consultant at EscoTek Technology Solutions. "Because of the minimal maintenance and administration the system required, it didn't take long for us to realize our IT resources could be put to use in other ways."
EscoTek was launched in January 2002 and strives to be a one-stop-shop for businesses that need technology solutions. The company's clients span several industries, including aircraft, leather, plastics, printing, construction, medical, automotive, restaurants and hotels. The EscoTek IT group offers a wide range of resources, from the installation and setup of computer and phone systems to software customization, Web site development, database design, e-commerce, consulting, custom equipment design and networking.
"Made2Manage's mission is to provide manufacturers with functional applications that are easy to implement and maintain," said Made2Manage Systems' CEO Dave Wortman. "Once their own business processes are optimized for top-level customer care and manufacturing execution, companies like Eric Scott Limited have the time to use their existing resources in new and creative ways."
