Webinar: Harnessing Data - Creating A Single Version of the Truth In Your Retail Business
August 5, 2010
2:00pm EDT
Presented by Curt Barry, President, F. Curtis Barry & Company
Hosted by ProSource
Description:
Have you, or even worse, one of your senior managers been frustrated to find yourselves looking at different figures for the same data elements across your systems? One report tells you month end sales were X while another says they were Y. Inventory levels are at X% in one system and Y% in another.
Frustrating as this is, you are definitely not alone.
What retailers are striving for today is a "single version of the truth", to get the same results, or view of the data across the applications and channels of your organization.
Join ProSource and our featured expert Curt Barry, one of multi channel retail's leading consultants on operations, fulfillment and retail systems as we help you tackle this important issue. Best practices when managing the evolving challenges facing retailers today and answer the following questions:
- What are reasonable goals and objectives when it comes to data integration and accuracy?
- What will this mean for your systems requirements across marketing, merchandising, inventory control, finance, etc?
- What are some expected outcomes and benefits you may be able to promote internally if you take on this project?
- What should you look for from your software vendor regarding application development to achieve data integration long-term?

The system’s marketplace for today’s companies is crowded, growing rapidly, and can be confusing. With an ever-changing assortment of systems, vendors and acquisition options, there are now many classes of systems that can be implemented.
To keep this conference focused, we will be discussing order management systems, warehouse management systems, enterprise resource planning systems, and forecasting and inventory management systems.

So how do you make the right decisions?
As a participant in this systems workshop, you will come away with an understanding of the appropriate classes of systems and vendors applicable to your business and operations; the steps for selecting and contracting with these vendors; and how to smoothly plan and implement a new system on time and within budget.
