Armstrong says: I don't know what we would do without the NAZDAQ products that we have
DVDan VanclieafInformation Technology Infrastructure and BaanArmstrong"I don't know what we would do without the NAZDAQ products that we have. The integration between the Baan and NAZDAQ software is seamless to the point where users do not know that NAZDAQ is a third-party add-on. It is a natural coexistence."
Inside the conversation
How do NAZDAQ products fit your IT strategy?
Armstrong has a green strategy and therefore we strive to reduce our environmental footprint and generating printouts does the opposite of that. The addition of NAZDAQ Products into our Baan environment helped in reducing paper consumption considerably.
What are the benefits you gained from using the product(s)?
Significant time savings with the reporting process.
Senior management is quite pleased that they receive their reports on time and no longer need to contend with a mountain of paper.
Money savings due to less paper consumed and freeing up employees' time for other important tasks.
Environmental contribution with less usage of paper.
What was the ROI period for this investment?
We got a lot of value for the cost and the ROI for this project was less than 3 months.
What was the need that drove you to look beyond what Baan / ERP LN has to offer?
As a global company that processes a lot of documents on a daily basis, we needed a tool that can convert Baan / ERP LN reports into multiple formats, email, print, and archive the documents automatically from the ERP system to save us cost, time and headache. The Baan IV environment lacks this capability.
What drove you to choose NAZDAQ product(s)?
NAZDAQ has the right products that fit our need. Once we became aware of NAZDAQ products we knew it was exactly what we needed. It has the functionality that we were looking for at a very attractive cost combined with very good service and support — it was a no-brainer.
Did the product(s) fulfill that need and how?
Yes. We have a variety of sensitive reports that are printed, photocopied, and distributed to our Senior Management team daily. The paper consumed for this need usually exceeds 500 pages a day. Additionally, an employee had to spend at least an hour each morning to photocopy and distribute the reports. Upon utilizing NAZDAQ products, we eliminated the manual process — these reports are now seamlessly emailed to their proper recipients.
How frequently does your company use NAZDAQ product(s)?
In addition to the management report we generate and distribute daily, we use B2Win quite extensively at Armstrong, especially the Excel portion.
What are the benefits of having an active maintenance contract for the product(s)?
The main benefit is the ability to get help when we need it. The response time has been very satisfactory and solutions to any of our issues are usually quick as well.
What is your satisfaction level from,
- The product(s)Very Satisfied
- The product installation/implementationVery Satisfied
- The serviceVery Satisfied
- Ease of using the productVery User-Friendly
Would you recommend NAZDAQ's tools to other companies?
Yes.
