“We knew it was time to integrate our manufacturing, inventory, and order entry systems with our back office Great Plains software.  And we knew the Great Plains manufacturing suite had the functionality we needed.  We were using disparate systems and spending too much time linking the systems through spreadsheets and access programs.  We were extremely satisfied with Great Plains financials, but we had to find a partner who could implement the Great Plains manufacturing suite and integrate it with our back end.  Plus, we had other requirements due to our international locations.  We chose Altico Advisors.  They clearly understood our business from a financial and process perspective.  They had the manufacturing expertise and the systems integration experience.  And the Altico team also provides training and support, so we didn’t have to deal with multiple vendors. That was huge.  We’ve made Altico our trusted advisor and now we look forward to a long, happy relationship with them."
