Small and midsize companies
will now have a new
manufacturing solution
called GSInnovate. This solution
was launched in conjunction with
the launch of Glovia Services Inc, a
new company launched by Glovia
International Inc, a subsidiary of
the Fujitsu Group. GSInnovate is
based on Glovia’s successful
existing manufacturing product.
Glovia International Inc is a
leading provider of extended ERP
solutions for engineer-to-order and
high-volume manufacturers. The
new company – Glovia Services Inc
– will be the industry’s first
provider of Software as a Service
(SaaS) solutions specifically
designed to help small and midsize
businesses (SMB) manage their
manufacturing processes.
With its innovative delivery
model, GSInnovate is a market-first.
The solution supports the
management of many
manufacturing processes on a
state-of-the-art SaaS technology
platform that delivers overall
business performance with
minimal investment and risk.
Glovia Services Inc is the only
company that has a
comprehensive SaaS solution
specifically designed to help
manufacturers in the SMB market
manage key processes such as
inventory management, order
management, procurement and
financial/accounting management.
The GSInnovate solution is based
on a SaaS delivery model in which
there is no actual software,
hardware or infrastructure for the
SMB manufacturer to purchase or
maintain. A SaaS application is
accessed over the Internet with a
browser, eliminating the upfront
costs of hardware, licenses and
expensive technical staff required
to maintain these systems.
Glovia Services Inc will focus its
solutions exclusively on this
growing marketplace of smaller
manufacturers – a market typically
underserved by traditional
application solution providers.
According to AMR Research, the
small and midsize businesses (SMB)
market represents a multibilliondollar
growth opportunity for
enterprise technology.
“We are launching Glovia
Services Inc in response to the
growing needs within the SMB
manufacturing industry. In today’s
market, sophisticated
manufacturing management
applications are not easily available
to smaller companies with limited
internal IT resources and strict
budgets. Nevertheless, to remain
competitive, these manufacturers
must address the same challenges
as much larger firms such as global
market pressures,meeting
compliance mandates and
demands by OEMs for supply chain
processes innovations,” said Randy
Ehler, Glovia Services Inc’s
president and CEO.
“GSInnovate answers these
challenges with an innovative
delivery model that provides users
with top manufacturing
management capabilities at an
attractive pricing structure, along
with rapid implementation
capabilities and ongoing solution
support. This winning combination
ensures manufacturers realise
maximum business benefits with a
minimum investment and very low
risk,” he added further.
The GSInnovate solution leverages
the rich technology heritage and
deep industry expertise of both
Glovia International Inc and the
entire Fujitsu Group. Glovia
International Inc has a 30-year
history of success in the
manufacturing industry with
comprehensive solutions that are
used by leading manufacturing
companies. Fujitsu is the world’s
third largest IT services company.
