Two-Tier Strategy

Deploying a world-class beverage ERP solution in a two-tier strategy

A new trend is evolving in enterprise resource planning (ERP). It’s the concept of two-tier ERP, and it has become a growing area of discussion in corporate finance and information technology (IT) departments.

• Lower capital and ongoing IT costs
• Greater operational efficiency and visibility
• Increased speed and flexibility
• Support for regulatory and geographic requirements
