Information Technology

For over fifteen years the DVIRC has been working with manufacturers and their operating systems. As technology has evolved to networks and the Interne and with software programs in areas like finance and CRM, it's become critical to link all business and operations in ways that are both cost-effective and efficient for your business. For the last few years we've been developing simple, affordable programs to help you determine your needs and make choices that will give you the best results.

Operating Systems

Your operating system is the foundation for all your IT technology. The best way to get started is the right evaluation of your business, including your current system, network, hardware, software, and applications integration. This assures that:

• Your system properly fits your business
• You've identified all your business and operations needs
• You've defined areas that you believe are unique and may need special considerations
• There's an appropriate upgrade program in place for the future

Our systems strategies programs are customized to each manufacturers operation, however most plans include analysis of existing conditions and needs, recommendations, costs and implementation plans.

Software Selection

Making software decisions for your business is a big job. If you've done it just once, you know how hard it is to find the right software to fit your business, and how expensive the wrong decision is. After fifteen years of working with manufacturers just like you, we've developed a selection program that can help you assure you make the best choice and get the best results. The program includes:

• Software selection - prepackaged or custom
• Implementation management
• Software licensing compliance
• Training

Software Utilization

For years, our customers have complained about issues with their software. They tend to blame their software for shortcomings in how the business operates, or employees dislike the software and consider it a barrier to performing their work. They develop work-arounds or transfer important data to areas that aren't visible to the organization.

With the investment you put into software, don't let these issues get in the way of better utilization. The DVIRC will facilitate a fast, easy program to improve use of and output from your software.

A large portion of software problems aren't due to the software, but to the inability to use it.
These are typical reasons why:

• Insufficient user training during installation
• New employees not trained well
• Not all modules purchased were installed
• Most recent, fully enhanced version of the software not installed

Working with a cross-functional team of your employees and software supplier, we will flow your entire business process, detailing current and future-state workflow and systems.

We associate each process with the system supporting its completion whether it's your ERP solution or a spreadsheet. We identify the inputs and output forms and reports until the entire process is visible and the improvement opportunities are apparent. As a result of the detailed evaluation, opportunities will arise for an improved future state.

Every company wants better operating performance. By implementing the this program, you can have confidence that your work flows better, information is more widely available and you realize the most from your investment in your software.
