Military audio communications systems manufacturer Racal Acoustics reports a successful on-time go-live with its SSL Winman manufacturing ERP implementation.
Work began in February this year and the new system took over from the company’s 15 year old green screen system on 31 July.
Project manager Chris Drew says that although several of the packaged ERP system vendors could have done what was required, “SSL ultimately proved to be the one we believed to offer the best combination of functionality, value for money, flexibility and responsiveness for our changeable business.”
He describes Racal Acoustics’ primary requirements as finding a solution with as close a fit as possible to the business, providing latest technology and Internet connectivity, plus a vendor responsive and flexible enough to provide ongoing support.
Says Drew: “For us SSL WinMan provided the best fit with our own business model and the solution was one of the very few built from the ground up on Microsoft .Net technology.”
