To-Increase Offers ERP & Operations Management Survey from Aberdeen Group & Columbus IT

Survey benchmarks manufacturers against best-in-class competition.

Norwell, MA, July 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions for Industrial Equipment Manufacturers (IEM), offers a survey from Aberdeen Group and Columbus IT to readers of its blog. The survey, part of Aberdeen Group's Assessment Tool Series, leverages data collected and analyzed as part of Aberdeen Group’s primary research in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Operations Management.

In one form or another, nearly every manufacturer asks itself some variation of the question, "How does my company compare to best-in-class discrete manufacturers?" Most commonly, this question is phrased as, "What are my competitors doing that I should be doing?"

"The only way for a manufacturer to determine what a competitor is doing is to ask them directly, and hope they are forthcoming," states Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase. "But based on my experience in this industry, I can say with certainty that best-in-class competitors are likely:

"Developing informed, structured insights

"Identifying the resources they need to move their initiatives forward

"Taking the time to understand the difference between needing to integrate new manufacturing software versus needing to establish better processes."

The one constant depended on by every best-in-class manufacturer is information. The new survey from Aberdeen Group, developed in partnership with Columbus IT, is designed to help companies capture the same information best-in-class manufacturers depend on to make strategic, bottom-line decisions.

After completing the new survey developed by Aberdeen Group and Columbus IT, available by visiting the To-Increase blog, manufacturers will receive a custom-tailored assessment – and scorecard – containing information that illustrates how their company currently compares against best-in-class manufacturers.
