Welsh Paper Begins QAD On Demand corporate-wide rollout

The deployment – which delivers full ERP functionality on the SaaS (software as a service) model – is part of the Youngsville, North Carolina-based firm's corporate-wide ERP system rollout. Brad Welsh, president of Welsh Custom, explains that to enable a seamless transition and ensure business continuity during the acquisition, his company needed an ERP solution that could be deployed rapidly with very few customisations. "QAD On Demand has enabled us to go live extremely quickly, on time and on budget," comments Welsh. "More importantly, we completed our acquisition in weeks, not months – keeping our customers and employees happy, which, ultimately, was our most important goal," he adds. Welsh Paper is now deploying QAD On Demand across all of its divisions – using QAD's Easy On Boarding deployment methodology to standardise on best practices, minimise bespoke processes and speed up deployment of the ERP system. Implementations are underway at the Welsh Packaging and Welsh Foam divisions, with the Welsh Paper and Welsh Wood divisions to follow. "QAD On Demand is definitely the right choice for us," states Welsh. "We anticipate a continued return on our investment as we enhance our processes and workflows. We're looking forward to further successful deployments as we continue deploying QAD On Demand at our other divisions."
