APTIM where we improved what we were doing , and we showed it to the client , and in the end , it brought more business because we were able to show that we ' re not here just to bill you and leave , we are here to partner with you , we ' re invested in your business ."
Tools : Leveraging Tech with a Common Sense Approach " We ' re now using Microsoft ' s existing ecosystem of tools to manage more of our workflows . Microsoft is one of the bigger , leading-edge companies when it comes to innovation , and they ’ ve seen over the years the focus on supply chain and ERP systems , and they ’ ve really made significant strides and putting in investments and growing that out ,” says Shah .
“ We ’ re really just at the beginning of our relationship . We ’ ve picked up a few projects that are small in scale but very critical to our work process , like automating the requisitioning process . If we can do it from a tool that exists with consistency , which has a stable platform , we won ’ t need to integrate other systems , which is a huge win . So that presents a very attractive option , and we ’ re very actively exploring that .
“ It amazes me that a company the size of Microsoft gives us the preference and the treatment that they do . The relationship is mutually beneficial . They ’ ve been willing to listen to our issues , and they ’ re willing to invest in where we are as a company . They ’ re investing time and effort in understanding what our priorities are . And they ’ re not forcing solutions onto us . They ’ re allowing us to take the lead and supporting us in our path forward , and I have a lot of respect for that .”
