Outsourcing

Your transportation methods and sources must mirror your business processes.  The greater the match, the more responsive your transportation and logistics systems will be.  For years the perceived uniqueness of each company often required unique individual IT solutions, including home grown software applications and specialized hardware.  Few companies have the interest or the skills to redesign internal methods and processes to match the parameters of a commercial off-the-shelf solution. 

EGI is skilled and accomplished at successfully merging your proven processes with the parameters of  an Oracle Transportation Management solution.  We have various offerings focused on documenting your transportation methods, sources, etc.  You can “outsource”  the management of those processes, methods, etc. to EGI.  Using our skills and experience, along with our specific industry “starter kits” means you can rely on EGI to quickly and effectively do the complete job, from start to finish.

For many companies building an in-house IT infrastructure and staff is undesirable or just too costly.  Constant hardware upgrades, complicated software agreements,  growing environmental costs, tedious operational processes and high staff turnover can be a serious distraction from the focus of your core business, especially for the small or mid sized firm with serious growth plans.  More and more, companies are considering outsourcing all or parts of their IT function. 

EGI understands the challenges of building and operating a computing environment and offers various outsourcing services to meet your specific needs.  A customer favorite and growing offering is application hosting or what some call Software as a Service (SAAS).    Working with you and our technology partners, we can design and implement a transportation management system in the “cloud”.  Cloud Computing means someone else manages the computing environment and all the technology.  You can focus on your business. 

SAAS and Cloud Computing can often mean different types of implementations.  SAAS offerings, hosted off-site, can sometimes require software and applications on User PCs.   Cloud Computing, hosted off-site, usually means only an Internet browser is needed on the User PC.  Using Oracle’s OTM product, we can deliver to you a true Cloud Computing solution, browser based, available on thin client PC and mobile devices. 

For the company struggling with logistics or new to logistics management, EGI offers a complete Logistics Outsource solution.   Over the years we have built a strong set of logistics management skills and you can benefit from them.  Unique or not, we can meet your logistical needs.
