Business Challenge

Rainmaker was in the middle of rapid growth and they were signing up a large number of new customers whose products they needed to support.  Their existing systems were not integrated, and their manual processes could not handle the volume of data and new products they would soon need to support.  They also had very poor visibility to information.

 

Why Quovera?

Quovera offered a complete line of services to support Rainmaker’s objectives which included  ERP implementation, enhanced Business Intelligence, and outsourced applications support and management.
