The Challenge
Before the optimization, the GSI and Army contract faced a range of challenges, including:
High Operational Costs: Managing multiple ERP systems incurred significant costs, diverting resources from other critical priorities.
Lack of Real-Time Insights: Data silos across various ERP systems limited the ability to access and analyze real-time information for decision-making.
Limited Scalability: The lack of a unified system hindered scalability, making it difficult to adapt to evolving defense needs.
Challenges in Workforce Availability: Meeting exact LCAT requirements with skilled and cleared SAP technologists was difficult and often time-consuming.
From: Multiple ERP Systems, Siloed Data
High operational costs, limited scalability, no real-time insight.
To: A Single Unified ERP Model
Cleared SAP expertise on site, at competitive rates, from day one.
