Our Perspective Our local experience with integrated software packages is deep and broad. Our Ohio Consulting practice, which includes Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati, has over 140 fulltime consultants. Software implementation is the cornerstone of our practice. Below is a list of some of our recent engagements in Ohio. Section 2: Project Overview Our Local Manufacturing Experience Arthur Andersen’s philosophy is to remain independent of software vendors.

What Our Software Vendor Alliances Mean Arthur Andersen does not sell software or receive any financial incentives from integrated software package vendors. However, we do maintain alliance programs with the leading software providers in the market. The purpose of these alliances is to establish a team of qualified personnel from the vendor and Arthur Andersen who can effectively serve clients by delivering integrated solutions to improve business performance. ? Alliance agreements typically provide the following: ? Arthur Andersen can subcontract programming services at a discounted price ? Arthur Andersen receives discounted training for its professionals ? Arthur Andersen has access to software, product support and other resources ? By strategically aligning themselves with Arthur Andersen, key software vendors can focus on their core businesses product development, training and support. ? Arthur Andersen has installed the alliance software packages at our Technology Innovation Centers for client demonstrations, training, testing and remote access. ? To capitalize on the collective knowledge we have gained in this area, Arthur Andersen has also formed a Competency Center of qualified professionals with deep expertise in packaged software implementations. Through an online software database, this center promotes information sharing among Arthur Andersen professionals on alliance products and projects on a global basis. 174。 1999 Arthur Andersen, Andersen Worldwide SC.

Immediately after the demonstrations, the scores are tallied. Arthur Andersen facilitates a discussion to share the scoring results and reach a consensus on strengths and weaknesses. The demonstration results are only one ponent (although the most important ponent) of the final selection criteria. Section 2: Project Overview 10 169。 Approach Arthur Andersen’s packaged software methodology framework consists of 6 major phases while emphasizing an aggressive program of project management and change enablement. This proposal addresses the first 3 phases of work. At the pletion of these phases, we will take a checkpoint with Plaskolite’s management to determine Arthur Andersen’s involvement with future phases of work. “Where do we want to be?
