Content Management

In today's business environment, organizations are challenged not just to manage vast stores of digital information, but also increasingly to use that information to achieve the maximum competitive advantage in the marketplace. These challenges are particularly acute when dealing with a range of unstructured and semi-structured content, such as office documents, images, audio, video and websites.

Content Management solutions have become the key strategic technology for information intensive businesses. Moving an organization from a department process-based information provider to a global, digital organization requires envisioning a knowledge-based organization with collaboration capabilities, appropriate enabling technologies and a change-management strategy to transform an organization. Content Management brings together a company's information assets in an organized way for the entire corporation to leverage in meeting customer and business goals.

Enterprise Resource Planning

The benefits of single enterprise-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions are significant. An enterprise-wide solution can accelerate future implementation schedules, create efficiencies in the order fulfillment process and provide a single source for everyone in the organization to view order information. It can also lay the foundation for IT system globalization, data centralization, defined processes and remote access business operation. Successfully managing your ERP system is a large, complex and highly involved undertaking, but it can ultimately saves a significant amount of time, money and resources.

NetLink has expertise in the ERP arena which includes extensive hands-on experience with world-renowned ERP solutions, including Oracle and SAP applications.

Legacy Modernization

In today's business environment, it is vital to know when to adopt new technology and when to keep current applications in place. The challenge is to understand when doing business in an existing environment has become more painful than the task of migrating to an improved one. Legacy Modernization is an opportunity to align business processes more closely with new IT capabilities.

Companies accelerate transition projects to a new IT environment while reducing the risk of unforeseen missteps, create significant savings through reduced operating expenses, and increase functionality to generate a significant competitive advantage.

Common migration "triggers" include technology obsolescence, mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganization, competitive and regulatory pressures and poor financial performance. Legacy Modernization is a proactive way to aggregate these various triggers into one coordinated program reaching across an entire organization.

Our experts will tackle your challenges by addressing software architecture at both the application and enterprise level. NetLink offers in-depth experience in Java and Microsoft .NET architectural issues, patterns and approaches, in addition to a variety of other enterprise applications.

NetLink will accelerate your transition to a new IT and application environment that supports rapidly changing business processes and reduces total cost of ownership.

Supply Chain Management

Maintaining a competitive advantage in today’s business environment is becoming increasingly complex. Customers are constantly expecting better service while simultaneously expecting price reductions; predicting future demand is becoming more and more difficult; your suppliers’ problems are becoming your own. Vendor-managed inventory is becoming a common expectation within your customer base. Acquisitions, new channels or divestitures are becoming common place events. Such companies have come to realize that effective Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a vital component of an organization’s continued success.

The essence of Supply Chain Management is finding the optimal balance between satisfying your customers and achieving operational efficiency. Companies that manage these things well, achieve operational excellence—as well as many other benefits. The rewards are certainly impressive, but the challenges are immense. Changes in supply chain operations can impact virtually every aspect of an organization, including manufacturing, logistics, information services, and sales and marketing. It demands that you examine and leverage every component of your operations, including infrastructure, sourcing, inventory, manufacturing and transportation decisions. In addition, the traditional approach—boosting production and inventories in advance of demand—is no longer feasible in light of today's competitive pressures to reduce costs and accommodate mass customization. The key business challenge today is cost-effective agility—optimizing asset deployment toward sudden demand.

The road to operational excellence can be rocky, but NetLink Business Systems can smooth the way. Our experts blend innovation with real-world solutions that enable clients to make better operational decisions. We offer a full range of supply chain solutions and services including:


•	Supply Chain Performance Assessment and Gap Analysis: An in-depth analysis of a companies supply chain systems and processes that results in a one to three year strategic roadmap.

•	Supply Chain Technology Evaluation and Selection Services: Quickly and accurately determine the requirements for any new supply chain systems.
•	Supply Chain Technology Implementation Services: Application implementation, integration and project management of our partners’ supply chain planning modules.
