Decision Resources Completes Record 30 Go-Lives in 2021

As the manufacturing sector bounced back from 2020 shutdowns, Decision Resources was there to deliver record results for our customers.

2021 was a record-breaking year for Decision Resources with 30 enterprise resource planning (ERP) go-lives, 26 Decision Resources Products go-lives, and 37 new customers. Following a challenging year of shutdowns and delays, Decision Resources met the challenge of a busy 2021 head-on. Here are some of the highlights.

30 ERP Go-Lives

It was a record-shattering year for the Decision Resources services team, which completed 30 SyteLine and CloudSuite Industrial ERP go-lives in 2021. This includes a whopping 16 go-lives completed in the first 18 weeks of 2021. Implementation projects nearly doubled for the services team since 2020, a year in which pandemic shutdowns halted many projects.

Despite the increase in activity, the Decision Resources services team met the challenge, leaning into its expertise and providing our customers with the level of service and professionalism they expect from Decision Resources. The Decision Resources services team completed the record volume of work while providing a shining example of Decision Resources’ core values, including caring about our clients and enhancing the power of one team.

26 Decision Resources Products Go-Lives

It wasn’t just ERP implementations keeping Decision Resources busy in 2021. There were also 26 installations of Decision365, DecisionConnect for Shopify, DecisionExcelerator, and SyteLEAN. The Decision Resources products team has been hard at work enhancing its repertoire of ERP add-on products. These products allow SyteLine and CloudSuite Industrial users to synchronize, simplify, and streamline their EDI, e-commerce, and data management processes. Guided by another Decision Resources core value – embrace best practices in business and technology – the Decision Resources products team remains focused on helping our customers improve operational efficiency.

10 Customers Moved from On-Premises to Cloud Deployment

Decision Resources’ client success team continues to educate our clients on the benefits of the cloud. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Infor cloud is scalable, flexible, reliable, and secure. As the manufacturing sector looks to modernize, Decision Resources customers have been at the forefront of embracing the cloud. In 2021, 10 of Decision Resources’ customers took advantage of those benefits by moving their on-premises ERP deployments to the cloud.

37 New Customers

Decision Resources welcomed 37 new ERP, EDI, and e-commerce customers in 2021. These customers chose Decision Resources not just for our products, but also for our expertise and experience. Founded in 1978, Decision Resources is recognized as a top Infor partner every year. Decision Resources remains one of the largest and most experienced Infor partners, and our commitment to the success of our customers is a guiding principle.

“[The Decision Resources team] identified development needs up front, they dictated an appropriate timeline, and they met all the requirements. This was the smoothest go-live I’ve ever had – and it was the 19th one. The project was on time and under budget.” – Mike Enwright, Onset Computer Corporation

One New Product Launch

Decision Resources introduced a new product in 2021: DecisionConnect for Shopify. DecisionConnect for Shopify synchronizes your Shopify webstore and ERP system, automatically bringing orders into your ERP system, transferring shipping information from your ERP to Shopify, and synchronizing inventory.
