Most systems
solutions today require a great many components, often from a variety of product
vendors, operating in harmony with one another. The process of system integration is the optimization of these disparate
vendors and components toward the construction of a seamless solution.
Unlike most software
vendors, ARMSWARE provides fully integrated turnkey solutions. A turnkey solution includes planning, purchasing,
installation, training and support, everything necessary to implement an
Information System Solution.
An
Information System Solution is a major business investment, and one which must
be carefully evaluated in order to identify all of the costs. Most businesses do a good job of determining the cost, but frequently
they forget to quantify the benefits which can result from the purchase of a proper computer system.
Ask
the following question about your business: “What are the things a new system and new software can help me improve
and what is the value of each improvement?”. It is difficult to be perfectly accurate about benefits in any business,
but examples of some common and frequently achieved savings and revenues are
listed below.

Improved
Inventory Control - This is an excellent area in which the proper system can frequently
provide dramatic savings. Turning inventory faster can save large sums of money, and
with the proper inventory system the computer can help by providing an
up-to-the-minute picture of your inventory levels, identify slow moving
items, highlight good sellers, and help order new merchandise as needed.
|
|
Increased
Profit - This is another benefit you can reasonably expect to occur and to provide
additional justification for a computer system. You could perform
automatic on-line credit checking, evaluate which orders need the most
attention, create invoices on demand, rapidly answer your customer
inquiries.
|
|
Improved
Accounts Receivable - A/R collection provides another area for direct savings when the computer
is installed with an effective system to automatically record every sale,
payment, and credit.
|
|
Improved
Customer Service Level - can
provide additional revenue by reducing the number of lost sales which
occur because of stock-outs, lost orders, late deliveries, unfilled
backorders, and incomplete shipping instructions.

The
exercise of determining benefits which will result from the computer should be
carefully considered. We have
frequently discovered that there are many more areas of justification discovered
by the company executives once they begin to look for benefits and
justification. Very often the
acquisition of a specialized computer system designed for a specific business,
will be one of the most profitable decisions a company will ever make.
