“One of the most relevant challenges of this project was the integration with the ERP, developed by the Dislicores technology area in which 50 integrations had to be contemplated … On the other hand, among the key factors of the project’s success are the high-level team, with great mastery of the tool and knowledge of the business and without a doubt the staggered live exit strategy that allowed us to almost zero the impact of the learning curve and the stabilization of the implementation in a very short time” Wilson Ortiz, Commercial Manager Professional Services of Cerca Technology.
