CPI sought an ERP solution that would provide insight into their business based on actual production costs, prevent delayed data collection, increase efficiency among departments, and integrate seamlessly between forecasting, requisition, and production planning. The choice was Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009.

CPI Packaging's CEO, Joe Mormando, explained his company's decision was based not just on the value of Microsoft's integrated solution, but also on the commitment B&D and Microsoft had made to the manufacturing marketplace. According to Mormando, the chosen solution is highly adaptable to the unique needs of the packaging industry. B&D worked closely with Microsoft on behalf of its client to ensure CPI's ERP requirements and business objectives could be met.

Continuing the partnership, B&D will implement Dynamics AX 2009 using an efficient process called the Rapid Sure Step Approach. This budget-friendly method accelerates implementation, while lessening stress on CPI's day-to-day business.

"This system selection is one of the most important investments we will make in the coming years. We are eager to utilize the technology to improve our operations and, ultimately, service our customers in the best, most efficient way possible. We are confident B&D will help us utilize Microsoft Dynamics AX to its fullest potential," says Mormando.
