Tailoring Technology to Fit Business Processes (for a Change!)
February 25, 2008
Warehouse management is an area where operations are highly likely to require support for unique processes. Over the last decade, many companies fell into a trap of over-customizing their software around their current business processes, and then were unable to upgrade their systems. Today, they find themselves a generation behind in their technology. With new advances in service-oriented architecture, companies now have the ability to configure their software around their business needs while still retaining the ability to benefit from scheduled upgrades. This amounts to companies finally having the best of both worlds in the warehouse.
