CORNERSTONE SOLUTIONS PRESENTS:
"OUR WMS: SHOULD IT STAY OR SHOULD IT GO?”
Complimentary webcast brought to you by Supply Chain Digest &
Cornerstone Solutions, Inc.
FORT WAYNE, IN – As the economy begins to recover, many companies will
take a fresh look at their Warehouse Management System (WMS) technology
- as operational changes during the slow down might have changed how well
a company's existing WMS meets current and projected distribution needs.
Cornerstone Solutions, an independent supply chain management consulting
firm, will address how to assess the impact on technology brought on by
these changes, in a complimentary webcast with Supply Chain Digest. The
webcast entitled, "Our WMS: Should It Stay Or Should It Go?” will be
presented March 16 @ 11:30 am EST.
This webcast will provide supply chain professionals with a framework for
determining if their existing WMS is worth saving or not. Supply chain
professionals will learn the key gaps between older and current state WMS
technology, how to optimally benefit regardless of which WMS path chosen,
and how to accurately estimate costs for a new WMS or an upgrade. Companies
considering a new or replacement WMS, companies that would like to enhance
their current WMS/DC performance or IT managers responsible for WMS support
would benefit from attending this webcast. Click here to register to
attend or contact Cornerstone at 260-496-8259 x 300 or via e-mail at
