Merit 125x125With constant pressures to maintain competitiveness, reduce costs and increase profitability, many organisations are implementing change management strategies to transform and modernise their business processes.

This often requires changes throughout the business with new ways of working for people and new technology infrastructures.  As a result, key businesses processes and supporting ERP implementations need to adapt to deliver these business critical changes.

For Infor Movex and M3 users, this often requires the need for external expertise from specialist providers that can bring the most up to date knowledge of the latest version, complementary applications, deep industry knowledge, best practice methodology and a proven track record in delivering upgrades rapidly – on time and to budget.

Sometimes the need for external resource can be temporary, for example, to cover a period of extended leave or to backfill for a key member of staff who has left taking valuable knowledge with them.  But, whatever the reason, in order to address the problem, the organisation needs to find the skills, knowledge and experience which can complement their own strengths and ways of working.

As a consulting organisation dedicated to Infor M3 and with the largest pool of skilled M3 resource in Europe, Merit Consulting is frequently called upon to manage an unexpected skills gap or to help organisations manage planned migrations and upgrades.

One such organisation, ACCO has been working with Merit since 2014 on a planned migration to M3 13.2.  Project Transform was devised by ACCO to upgrade its Infor M3 system whilst taking the opportunity to transform its business processes.

Recognising that an upgrade to 13.3 was a major project undertaking, needing additional and specific resources and methods to manage risks to the business, ACCO looked to Merit Consulting to complement their in-house capability.

At this year’s M3 User Association conference, Mike Nutter, EVP at Merit Globe, will share his experiences with ACCO over the past couple of years to deliver Project Transform by working together with ACCO in a collaborative way.

In a main theatre session at M3UA, Mike leads this keynote with insights into the collaborative relationship with ACCO.  With support from ACCO, they will share their experiences of this major collaborative Business Transformation project and demonstrate how together, ACCO and Merit have successfully delivered Project Transform for the secure delivery of M3 13.2 across ACCO’s European business operations.

Attend Mike’s keynote presentation at the M3UA conference: 10 am, 9th March in the main presentation theatre.
