Net at Work Announces Launch of Digital Operations Platform for Industrial Manufacturers

NEW YORK, NY – June 14, 2023 – Net at Work, one of the largest SMB technology advisors in North America, has launched a Digital Operations Platform (DOP) for industrial and equipment manufacturers. Coined by Forrester Research, a DOP represents the next generation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as characterized by its flexible structure, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technology, and accessibility for interactions beyond the browser.

Net at Work’s DOP enables industrial manufacturers to derive value from next-generation technology, like Sage X3 ERP, including improved efficiency, greater business agility, and faster return on investment (ROI), to impact the bottom line positively.

With ERP at its core, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Human Capital Management (HCM), procurement, Warehouse Management (WMS), and Material Requirements and Planning (MRP), and other solutions may be integrated based on current and future business requirements – making the DOP unique to each company.

As a full-scale technology consultancy with expertise across Managed Services, Fractional CIO and Advisory Services, implementation and project management, custom development as well as an extensive software portfolio, Net at Work provides the knowledge and resources necessary to select, implement, configure, and maintain the DOP to maximize its impact on a manufacturing environment. Net at Work is an active member and sponsor of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), the leading organization in North America advancing construction and agriculture equipment manufacturers and their value chain partners in the global marketplace.

“Whether you’re following an engineer to order, configure to order, or other manufacturing models, our approach can support your strategic plans companywide, removing traditional technology barriers that legacy systems perpetuate with siloed data that cause security concerns, and also hampers innovation and growth,” said Samantha Marshall, Sage X3 Practice Director, Net at Work. “Our DOP helps to give you the firm foundation necessary to compete effectively in today’s digital economy.”

Power Curbers Companies LLC, a manufacturer of award-winning curb extrusion equipment, leaned on its partnership with Net at Work to begin building its DOP with Sage X3 and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service. As a result, the company shaved over 25 minutes from its order entry process and rapidly pivoted from Just-in-Time inventory management to overcome supply chain challenges.

“Overall, our goal is to simplify a complex manufacturing cycle as much as possible by looking for up and downstream efficiencies,” explained Crystal Tollenaer, Parts and Production Control Manager for Power Curbers. “The visibility we’ve gained with Sage X3 and our data analysis tools help us do that. As a result, we turn out a new machine every three days, taking thousands of parts from global suppliers and putting them into the hands of a well-trained, skilled workforce who understand the process.”

To learn more about Net at Work’s DOP approach for industrial manufacturing, SME is hosting a webinar entitled, “Aligning Your Technology Roadmap for Strategic Success,” on Wednesday, June 21 at 2 p.m. EDT featuring speakers R. Jeffrey Kimball, former CEO of L. Robert Kimball and Associates, and Eric Sluss, Fractional CIO & Advisory Services, Net at Work.

Net at Work Announces New Partnership with Rippling

NEW YORK – May 16, 2023 – Net at Work, a leading provider of next-generation technologies for small-to-medium-sized businesses, today announced a new partnership with Rippling, the leading unified workforce platform, becoming the first member of Rippling’s reseller program.

Social Img Rippling SmRippling provides a best-in-class HR, IT, and Finance platform to help organizations efficiently manage global workforces, bringing together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. So, for the first time ever, companies can manage every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system, fostering collaboration, better communication, and ultimately making their employees around the world more engaged and productive.

“We’re excited to welcome Net at Work as our first Value Added Reseller (VAR) partner. They have deep expertise in the industry and are committed to delivering a great experience for each client,” said Matt Donaldson, Rippling’s Senior Director of Channel Sales. “It’s a three-way win for Rippling, Net at Work, and most importantly our customers. This new partnership will enhance Net at Work’s offering and ultimately make it easier for our clients to run their business.”

Net at Work also announces that their Employer Solutions practice has been renamed “Employee Experience” to reflect its focus on providing today’s workforce – increasingly made up of remote, hybrid and gig workers – with next-gen digital solutions that improve the way they work. Studies show that employees provided with tools that facilitate collaboration while giving them the ability to work “asynchronously,” lower barriers to productivity, enable them to develop/acquire skills, and better balance work and life, are more deeply invested in their work and their company’s mission. Net at Work’s Employee Experience practice will help organizations address their core HR challenges: improving engagement (decreasing “quiet quitting”), increasing productivity, and competing for top talent.

“We realize that today’s workforce challenges are vastly different than any other time,” said Harold Ford, Net at Work’s, Employee Experience Practice Director. “An organization’s next-generation employee portal is critical to increasing employee engagement and is a major component of the employee branding experience. Every employee will access this portal – it must provide not only the functionality but the user experience as well. Our focus on the employee experience and our agreement with Rippling reflects our alignment with these realities.”

Healthcare Predictions to Be Revisited by Sage, guest Forrester During Net at Work Webinar

NEW YORK – May 11, 2023 – Net at Work, a top technology advisor to small-to-medium sized healthcare organizations, announces an informational webinar will be held live on May 18 at 2 p.m. EST. The event, “The Year in Progress for Healthcare,” will include experts from Net at Work and Sage Intacct alongside featured speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Shannon Germain.

Last year, guest experts from Forrester and Sage made industry predictions about new developments and trends and their potential impact on providers and facilities. It was reported to be the second-best year for consolidation and growth opportunities on record, while the COVID-19 pandemic brought about new home care and virtual care options as well as an industry fallout of the public “trusted category.” As the halfway point in the year nears, those projections will be revisited with recommendations to place practitioners in a strong position for the remainder of 2023 and beyond.

“While the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimated that U.S. national healthcare expenditure reached $4.1 trillion in 2020 and is expected to reach $6.2 trillion by 2028, the market is rife with continued economic uncertainty, breakneck speed of technological development, supply chain issues and a changing landscape,” says Tom Thornton, Healthcare Practice Director at Net at Work and a featured panelist. “How medical facilities react to these changes can mean the difference between achieving new levels of success or becoming a statistic.”

A member of the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), Net at Work consults ambulatory care and long-term care facilities on a variety of cloud, digital business applications and fractional CIO and managed IT services, helping to diagnose and treat the technological deficiencies that may prevent providers from competing effectively in today’s digital economy.

Healthcare leaders, practitioners and administrators are invited to register for this complimentary webinar at www.netatwork.com/livewebinars.
