QAD Inc, a provider of flexible, cloud-based enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies, has announced that WireCo WorldGroup will standardize enterprise resource planning in its steel division using QAD ERP solutions. WireCo’s growth through acquisition has led to a host of legacy ERP systems, including older versions of QAD, within the steel division. WireCo’s Mexico and Poland wire and rope mills have been operating on separate QAD installations since 1998. In total, 17 WireCo sites throughout the US, Mexico and Europe are to implement the latest version of QAD. WireCo World Group’s CIO, Todd Rumsey, said: “After comparing IT operating costs in our existing QAD environments to our other ERP platforms, we concluded that QAD offered significant savings. QAD leadership then aligned to help us understand the full benefit of standardizing on QAD throughout our steel operations.”
