In the world of manufacturing, your ERP is crucial in driving efficiency, productivity, and competitive advantage. However, what happens when neglect and lack of maintenance bring a critical system to its knees? This was the predicament faced by a manufacturing company that had allowed their VISUAL ERP to languish over two decades without relevant upgrades or proper maintenance. The company found itself desperately seeking a solution to resurrect its vital ERP system operations. ICG, armed with expertise and the top VISUAL resource in the country capable of fixing their ERP, intervened to assess the damage and devise a strategy to revitalize the ailing system.
The Problem |

A manufacturing company faced a critical dilemma stemming from neglecting maintenance on their VISUAL ERP over the span of twenty years. With no upgrades or database maintenance conducted during this time, the software had deteriorated to the point where it was no longer operational. The lack of ongoing care and updates had rendered their environment obsolete. Combined with the absence of individuals skilled in maintaining this system, the company found itself unable to revive or salvage their software, leaving them in a precarious position without a functioning solution for their needs. The customer diligently reached out to multiple providers, receiving no response, before they discovered ICG. Their diligence paid off as ICG quickly came to their aid and had the right expert capable of fixing their VISUAL ERP. We knew exactly what to do. Systems that aren't kept up-to-date are susceptible to vulnerabilities, hindering productivity and exposing organizations to potential risks such as data breaches and operational disruptions. Performance issues are exasperated with outdated systems leading to downtime and inefficiency. ERP systems that do not stay current face challenges in meeting regulatory requirements, resulting in penalties and loss of trust from customers. This manufacturing company learned this the hard way, but it wasn't too late. |
