Watson's: IBM i Business Review Drives Integration Project Success

Challenge:  Due to their rapidly growing business, Watson’s was beginning to overwhelm their warehouse. Not only was the existing warehouse space no longer sufficient, but the lack of organization was hindering shipping and delivery.

These issues are common products of company growth; as the business grows, so does its inventory and organizational needs.

Solution:  Business Process Review (BPR) was critical to the integration project's success. We started the engagement by conducting the BPR to identify a clear strategy and define the integration architecture.

This involved thoroughly discussing the original functionalities of key touch points and modeling how they would integrate with the new Synapse WMS, focusing on the technical implications of data flow between the new system and the existing IBM i ERP.
