Enterprise Resources Planning

Enterprise Resource Planning is a new concept that has only become possible with the advent of high-speed computers and complex database programming. There are a number of high-quality firms, such as SAS, SAP, Baan and PeopleSoft that have developed large-scale applications designed for Fortune 1000 corporations.

These large-scale databases allow seamless integration of data throughout the enterprise. They also allow managers to determine relationships, trends, and other important information which was previously not readily accessible. As a result, decision making can be greatly improved and costs reduced.

Many of our clients cannot afford the software offered by these developers, let alone implement the complex and labor-intensive installations. Corporate Development Associates, Inc. offers a significantly lower cost approach to the problem. We build company-specific database applications based on the powerful Microsoft Access database. The ERP applications we develop offer the capability of scheduling manufacturing, controlling inventory, producing work orders, purchase orders, invoices and shipping papers. Analysis of sales and service data is readily available so that management decisions can be made based on real data.

These applications can be used by most clerical staff members with minimal instruction time required.
