QAD in the Cloud<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ranking of ERP vendors in the <\/span>CIO<\/span><\/i> article looks at the cloud strategy and vision for the future of ERP of each vendor. The benefits of implementing a cloud-based ERP are numerous, which is why QAD\u2019s vision is so driven by the QAD Cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

QAD Adaptive ERP<\/span><\/a> delivers critical benefits to manufacturers, including rapid deployment, scalability, disaster recovery, data security, remote access and 24\/7 support. It is simple to implement, manage and upgrade. It optimizes cloud-based manufacturing ERP software and supply chain capabilities with a modern platform and user experience \u2013 giving manufacturers essential tools to compete in competitive markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the benefits that put QAD on the list of the top 10 ERP vendors is the fact that QAD has built industry-specific ERP for manufacturers with fully integrated applications from the QAD Adaptive Applications portfolio, including process maps\/processes and vertical-specific options. It is a comprehensive solution supporting core business needs and operations. QAD Adaptive ERP delivers a web-based user experience and native mobile access, optimizing real-time decision-making and delivering insight from analytics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting the Most Out of an Adaptive ERP<\/span><\/h2>\n

When manufacturers have fully optimized<\/span> digital manufacturing<\/span><\/a> efforts, they gain significant competitive advantages. Digital manufacturing is the <\/span>critical capability that <\/span>integrates planning, scheduling, quality, cost management, asset management, material movement and shop floor control. The results are reduced costs, higher quality and better customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n

QAD developed a diagnostic tool that assesses where manufacturers are today on their journey toward full digital manufacturing maturity.
