CRM Consulting
There are three key elements to creating a successful CRM Business implementation, these are the people within the company that need to support and believe the CRM. The company's business process needs to be engineered in order to strengthen its CRM Initiative, and the technology to drive these processes forward. These key elements work together holistically and if one foundation is weakened, the entire process will falter.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is used to assist businesses with the help of these key elements (People, Process, and Technology) to gain insight into the behavior and value of customers. This allows for improved customer service, added cross-sell and up sell opportunities, improved close rates, streamlines sales and marketing processes, improved customer profiling and targeting, reduced costs and increased share of customer and overall profitability.

ERP Consulting
ERP Consulting - Astech has implemented ERP solutions in a wide variety of industries using proven methodologies. We provide our clients with end-to-end business management solutions. Our ERP solution implementation methodology covers every step of the process and includes amongst others:
- Business Requirements Analysis - Focused, detailed business requirements analysis is critical to the success of any project. Large amounts of time and resources are usually expended to fulfill the business need but there can easily be a mismatch between what is delivered and what was actually needed. A thorough business requirements analysis can help to avoid this scenario by defining and clearly documenting the requirements. It is the process that enables a clear and precise definition of the scope of a project and by breaking down the business needs into specific tasks.
- Installation - Our IT expertise enables us to setup a solid foundation and rapidly install your ERP solution.
- Data Conversion and Integration - These are common services that minimize the transition experience for your organization.
- Configuration and Customisation - This allows you to personalise the system to meet your needs. Utilising the information gathered during the business requirements analysis we strive for the "fit-for-purpose" outcome.
- User Acceptance Testing - Utilising installation specific test scripts, end-users determine whether a system meets all their requirements and will support the business for which it was designed.
ASTECH’s Ongoing Support ensures your long-term success. We will provide you with the appropriate long-term service program. This service can come from the software manufacture, ASTECH or a combination of both.
