Production rising

Production rising

It has been a great week. As a business we are really growing into our new fase of maturity. Proud to see that what you have started years ago begins to thrive on it's own. The last week was all about setting the pace, agreeing on who-should-do-what and then simply start doing.
But let me start at the beginning...

Over the last few months we were growing. This was not by chance, but strategically planned due to development plans. The hourly-based services we traditionally deliver should be enriched in the future by full-solution-products. This would take two changes within the firm:

Add capacity: we would not be able to combine sufficient turnover with qualitative product development with the capacity on resources we had. So growth was the answer.
Simplify the message in the market: selling solutions instead of only consulting asks for a very clean and clear message, so the core business of the firm had to be identified even more as we already did. A split in two companies with both their own, clean, message was the answer.

Since March 1st we are active with two firms, one focussed on Procurement from a business perspective, one focussed on Procurement from an IT (SAP) perspective. But both with a clear objective: start developing solutions for customers besides only staffing their projects!

It was a hectic month to get the ideas channelled, but last week the business plan for one of our new Interim Procurement Initiatives was closed up. On top of that, yesterday the developers started the build of our first end-to-end (SAP SRM based) software solution..

..the plant is in power, the production is in session!
