Ecosud, a company that reached last year impressive development on the market in waste management, a niche sector, chose Infinity Business Center as partner in implementing an ERP solution that should change the organization and support their decision-making.

An ERP project is often atypical requiring skills and resources beyond an organisation ‘s scope of manned skills.  Supplier’s selection prior to review of a company’s needs and sometimes even prior to a reengineering process are activities likely to lead to overruns in the budget , outreach of deadlines and which is the worst of all, falling beyond the business objectives, including loss of competitive advantage that an integrated system would weight in favour of any organization.

The business objectives identified in the analysis process were:

• Redesigning a new informational system that supports insurance services, obtaining of by- products (compost, biogas) and investments in new storage locations
• Recording of  budget registered revenues and expenditures achieved to the level of cost center in order to identify the opportunities to cut down fixed and variable costs and to balance cash flow.
• Standardization of the Informational  system  for all storage locations,  also for the new ones
•  Data processing integration in a single operating system to eliminate any redundant data processing
• Ensure accuracy of data in the system

The first phase of the project was achieved and consisted in business process review and development of technical specifications, which served as Scope of Work  in the project second phase,the tender.

In the bidding phase, the Tender Specification was submitted to eight possible suppliers and further to their reply all received information was  centralized and ranked upon qualitative and quantitative well defined criteria.

The project is currently being within the stage of organizing live presentations for solutions proposed by suppliers selected on the short list  following to which one of them will be nominated  bid winner.

Infinity Busienss Center desires through  this type of approach, to offer complete  business analysis services, vendor selection and  project management implementation, thus becoming a reliable ally to companies that want to implement an integrated management system of  ERP type.
