AGRICULTURE

1.

Agricultural Grower and Processor

The client had a ten-year-old computer system with reliability problems, woefully inadequate functionality and code maintained by an unreliable local software vendor. We assessed what needed to be there and created the new business model – the company was not an agriculture company, but a manufacturer, and could therefore use standard software. It was the first time this solution had been used in the ag business. They reduced costs and increased reliability.

2.

Large Agricultural Grower and Processor

The Board, for the purpose of changing the business model and improving market share and profitability, had appointed new management. The systems did not support the new business. The CIO did not believe that a standard package could work. The CFO did not want to spend time discussing the issues. We determined what was the right course of action and provided the road map for the company to implement the new systems that would support them correctly.
