“A business can take that pre-configured solution and slot it into its business and it can work from day one. Having done several ERP implementations in the past 10 years, I believe Lawson's has been more cost effective and faster than any of the previous implementations. The proof is in the pudding.”
NetCacao, specializing in chocolate production in a site near Marseille, France, implemented Lawson QuickStep Food and Beverage in mid 2006 because its legacy business system could no longer support its growing operations. To achieve its aggressive production goals, NetCacao needed to quickly implement an enterprise software solution to help it more efficiently track and manage high-volume production workflows while interfacing with the company's machine control systems.
“Some of our managers were already familiar with Lawson and knew that the QuickStep solution would meet our needs,” said Jerome Charpentier, assistant general manager of NetCacao. “SAP, which we had been considering for some time, appeared to be oversized.”
The Lawson QuickStep solutions combine industry-specific content with built-in business best practices and the Lawson Stepwise implementation methodology. By pre-configuring approximately 70 to 90 percent of the key business processes required by specific industries, these enterprise software packages help customers reduce the time, cost and risks typically associated with an enterprise software implementation.
“Our Stepwise implementation methodology helps organizations take a more strategic approach to managing their core business systems,” said Jim Anderson, executive vice president of global services for Lawson. “By simplifying the software implementation process, we're enabling customers to achieve business results faster while gaining the rich functionality and flexibility they need long term.”
