Enterprise Application Experience

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

The ERP market is both maturing and evolving. What started out as primarily a financial reporting application has broadened to incorporate virtually every aspect of an enterprise's operations - sales, manufacturing, procurement, supply chain and human resource management.

Today's ERP vendors are dealing with the following dynamics:

  • Product footprint expansion (breadth of offering)
  • Verticalization of offerings (depth of offering)
  • Enhanced analytics and reporting
  • Reducing TCO

Get out of the Trade-Off Doom Loop

With all these forces at work, the R&D organization is often forced to make tradeoffs between the different options. But you don't have to choose to satisfy one customer need while neglecting another any longer. Symphony Services has the software product engineering skills and expertise in developing ERP, CRM, SCM and related applications to help you address these issues while improving time to market, increasing quality and reducing your R&D costs.

Platform Modernization

Additionally, some companies are trying to restart their growth through a platform modernization strategy - from older systems and technologies (e.g. AS/400, Mainframes built with RPG or COBOL) onto modern platforms such as Java or .NET built on a SOA architecture using web services and Web 2.0 technologies such as AJAX. Symphony Services can provide the architectural consulting and software engineering services to help companies make the switch efficiently.
