American Print. ERP implementation success story

argentina americanprintAmerican Print Inc., one of the most outstanding companies within digital printings business, chooses Enterprise by HansaWorld as its ERP system in a Macintosh workflow.

Currently the company’s employees work switched on using Enterprise by HansaWorld system.

Status

In 2001 after seven years working continuously with Tango Management software (local product), American Print Inc. began to search for a new management system having three specific requirements: the new product had to be warm to the Customer, flexible and suitable with Macintosh platform.

During the same year having considered different factors, Mr. Alejandro Gonzales–Company’s chairman, started officially the project and planning to replace the system.

“Along the selection process to different offers, our company had defined sternly the features we all expected from the new system. Security and improvements in the product, availability to suit Macintosh platform, speed on accounting process and customer interface. These were some of the most important matters”, Alejandro recalls.

HansaWorld Solution

Upon the very same year, American Print Inc. affords a HansaWorld product that is FirstOffice, from the distributor in Argentina.

Nevertheless, this first implementation could not reach the planned objectives and requirements, since there were so many limitations to update records; something pivotal for the company.

After 5 years working the software, American Print Inc. decides to upgrade the most complete product in our line, Enterprise. The perception after the upgrading to a greater product was really favorable.

“Expectations were reached and overcome through Enterprise”, Alejandro comments. In deed, he himself
acknowledges a better shot in the company’s growth.

By the time of making out an assessment about the services provided by HWBA, this company considers that Training and ERP consulting services are taken to be optimum and effective.
