Enterprise Software Solutions for Cell-Phone Manufacturers
Ericsson
Challenge: Ericsson needed a software support group that understood Cincom’s CONTROL, an ERP solution that had been installed worldwide. The group would be required to provide a comprehensive service including the design, development and packaging of new customizations and seamless, ongoing technical support of software. Distribution and coordination to all Ericsson worldwide sites was also required. In addition, Ericsson wanted a service that could design and maintain an internal intranet information site for the Ericsson user community.
Solution: Cincom met the challenge by replacing the existing Ericsson in-house team with “Extended Services.” This approach offered seamless support and development services to all of Ericsson’s worldwide user sites. The high level of support provided for the standard CONTROL software was now extended to the entire system (standard and customized software). Plus, Cincom provided a complete software development and distribution service, giving Ericsson the freedom to redeploy existing resources to other projects. Read more.
