Cincom Systems has signed a partnership agreement with Ultriva, a California-based software company specializing in Lean and Kanban solutions. As part of the agreement, Cincom will offer to existing and new customers Lean manufacturing solutions that complement Cincom's CONTROL enterprise resource planning (ERP) and Cincom Acquire Sales and Product Configurator software.
The partnership will provide manufacturers with complex engineer- or made-to-order products—a solution that features intelligent, role-based operations management combined with proven Lean execution. Narayan Laksham, CEO of Ultriva said his company's electronic Kanban and other Lean manufacturing solutions have been working synergistically at Cincom customers over the years, and this partnership would benefit customer value with a “pre-packaged, tightly integrated solution.”
“We believe this combination will provide our customers with the operational efficiencies required to meet the unique challenges facing manufacturers today,” says Jerry Miller, director of Cincom’s manufacturing business solutions division.
Dick Pearse, Cincom enterprise product director termed his company's operations management capabilities and Ultriva’s Lean execution solution as a natural fit that is complementary on both the business and technology levels, and therefore had all the ingredients for a successful alliance as “the combined value delivered is greater than the sum of the parts.” |
