Godlan, a specialist in manufacturing ERP software (Infor CloudSuite^TM Industrial – SyteLine), CPQ (Configure Price Quote), industrial automation (IIoT), and an Infor Gold Channel Partner, announced that The Worden Group has successfully unified business systems with Infor software. With the successful deployment of Infor CloudSuite Industrial ERP, CPQ, and CRM, The Worden Group has a fully integrated enterprise software environment that will enable speed and growth.

“CloudSuite Industrial has allowed us to grow substantially this year without significant increase in resources, and managing customers through the Opportunities module (Infor CRM) is allowing us to see a clear picture of our Sales funnel and help us understand areas where we can grow. Godlan has been a delight to work with, their staff is very professional and very responsive, and they were patient as we strove to develop our people internally to successfully launch CloudSuite,” said Kyle Meyers, Master Scheduler/ERP Administrator, The Worden Group.

A focus for The Worden Group was to deploy business systems capable of supporting an environment with unlimited product designs and customizations, and to enhance a world-class buying experience for customers.

StarfishETL Releases Six New CSV Connectors

Popular Connectors Pull Data from Flat Files to Cloud

StarfishETL, a powerful cloud migration and Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), announced the release of six new connectors to move CSV files to Cloud storage. The connectors enable the following:

CSV via Google Drive
CSV via Amazon S3
CSV via [S]FTP
CSV via SharePoint
CSV via Boz
CSV via Dropbox

Companies that want the ability to pull data from flat CSV files into their Cloud storage can now do so using these connectors. File management is simplified with automatic uploads of the files to the Cloud. Users also can perform mass data exports from their CRM to any of the six Cloud storage platforms while keeping the data secure.

Many companies utilize CSV files as a secure, offline way to transfer data. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems maintain the format for exporting and moving mass quantities of customer data between systems because CSV files are easy to manipulate using common desktop tools. However, maintaining data integrity can be a challenge when entering CSV file information into a Cloud system. To transport the data from one location to another, users must either use scripts or expose the connectivity to a shared location. StarfishETL resolves these data sharing concerns by securely moving the data from the CSV while maintaining data integrity. With StarfishETL, CSV data can be moved to Cloud file storage systems with less susceptibility for error.

StarfishETL is a powerful platform used to migrate business data to and from many sources; as well as integrate ERP, marketing automation, social media, email, and obscure systems with CRM. Its framework supports projects — no matter the size or complexity — with its Cloud, on-premises, and hybrid capabilities. The product continues to grow and was recently recognized by review site G2Crowd as a High-Performer, and by FinancesOnline for Great User Experience.

Premikati and SAP Ariba Deliver Enterprise-class Procurement for SMBs

Business Process Outsourcing partner leveraging SAP Ariba to create affordable, on-demand procurement service

For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), shrewd spending decisions can mean the difference between failure and success. But many lack the systems and staff to make procurement a mission-critical priority. Premikati Inc. has a solution to their problem. Leveraging technology from SAP Ariba, Premikati introduced the Premikati Marketplace, giving SMBs access to enterprise-class procurement as a service.

“Small and medium-sized businesses have long wanted to take advantage of enterprise-class procurement, but they haven’t had the means,” said Marisol Buczynski Buchanan, CEO of Premikati. “Using the Premikati Marketplace, they can access millions of vetted suppliers and enterprise-class procurement tools that provide greater visibility into their spend and procurement process from end to end – all at a cost they can afford.”

As an SAP Ariba partner, Premikati has created the marketplace specifically geared to SMBs in just six weeks, from delivery to cutover to production. It provides them with critical elements they need in driving a simple, efficient source-to-settle process that quickly delivers results. Their customers can manage spending, connect with suppliers, improve cash flow, and drive compliance – all without adding complexity.

“The Sanders Group has been transacting over the Ariba Network for many years as a media technology and communications supplier to some of the largest companies in the United States,” said Mike Sanders, president of The Sanders Group. “With the Premikati Marketplace, we can now use the same SAP Ariba solution to purchase products and services we need to run our business.

“The Premikati Marketplace illustrates how the power of SAP Ariba solutions can benefit companies of all sizes,” said Will Caseber, vice president, Global BPO Channel, SAP Ariba. “With minimal investment, Premikati customers can get up and running quickly, and take advantage of enterprise-class technology and services that propel their businesses to the next level.”
