Unique and Valuable Services for MAC-PAC Users Moving to new ERP systems

ERP_EXPRESS for MAC-PAC is an extension of TDCI's standard ERP_EXPRESS data migration service. TDCI can supplement your project team or play a lead role, depending on your needs. In either case, TDCI is in a unique position to provide the following capabilities:

• Mapping of MAC-PAC and new ERP system master data. TDCI will leverage our knowledge of both databases to help speed this process, while ensuring greater data integrity and accuracy.
• ERP system configuration. TDCI will help guide the configuration of the new system with suggestions based on your operation and our knowledge of how both MAC-PAC and the new system work.
• MAC-PAC Reference Categories (Ref-Cat's) to new system settings translation. Some ref-cat's will map directly to a new system's settings, while others will not. In some cases, MAC-PAC capabilities will be handled by different functionality within the new system. TDCI will help speed the proper translation.
• Knowledge transfer. TDCI's knowledge of both MAC-PAC and newer ERP packages enables us to more effectively educate your people on the new system, relating it to the system they have been familiar with. This can improve user acceptance and make the go-live process far smoother.
• Interim support of your MAC-PAC environment. Fully involving your IT staff in bringing up the new ERP system will prepare them for effective operation once it is live. TDCI can provide skilled personnel to back-fill and assist with day-to-day MAC-PAC operations during the transition.
