Small to medium size manufacturing companies that require assistance with their current business processes. Many of our services are focused on:
Business Process Improvement
Executive Coaching
ERP System Selection
ERP System Implementation
Recovery from a failed system implementation
Strategic Management

Small firms need our services because they typically do not have the staff and in-house skills to manage a system implementation. Bringing an employee on staff to support this kind of effort is expensive for an organization and they typically do not need the employee after the implementation is completed.

Connective Edge Resources is strategically located in Central California and close to several airports. Travel to various sites throughout the United States and Canada can easily be accomplished to support client requirements.

We have various consultants that specialize in the management of IT projects. Availability is generally based on the number of engagements we are currently handling at any one time. With planning and strategic use of in-house resources, most engagements can be managed effectively with our exceptional staff of consultants.

The most notable advantage to using an outside consultant is that an outside resource does not have the internal political agendas and relationships that usually interfere with the effective rollout of a new system.

Another key advantage is the once a system has been implemented, the project manager's job comes to an end. Using an outside resource eliminates the costs associated with acquiring and removing an internal project manager.

Managing software vendors when selecting a new IT system can be challenging. Organizations need to focus on their internal system requirements and manage the selection of the system to these requirements. Most software vendors spend their time managing prospective client relationships and these relationships can interfere with one's effective analysis of what is best for the organization. Once they have your contact information, they will never stop calling and pushing their product.
