“…TSI led us through a focused, accurate and well-run ERP selection process followed by a tightly-managed 100-Day implementation that finished on time and slightly under budget…” – Tom Dee, Chief Financial Officer
业务挑战:
TSI的gpk电子网址, a fast-emerging innovator in the Biotech space, knew it needed to invest in enterprise systems. Yet at the time it was balancing many initiatives that caused many of their internal SMEs to be spread very thin as they were embarking on clinical trials, raising another round of funding, building a production facility, along with hiring new employees and conducting the rest of their business.
When TSI was selected, Finance was using QuickBooks and Excel. Operations and Quality had no defined processes, systems or formalized IT group.
