Adexa’s Value Assessment Methodology

Technology for technology’s sake means nothing; it is only beneficial when it is tied directly to benefits and hard dollars that the cost of technology can be justified.  At Adexa, we realize that there are many programs competing for your capital budget, therefore Adexa solution specialists take the time to thoroughly research and analyze your business and challenges to make sure that Adexa will deliver maximum hard dollar impact.  We quantify and justify the ROI before our solutions are delivered in order to set expectations regarding the value that will be derived both operationally and financially.

Financial drivers that influence EPS and Gross Margins are focal points of our value analysis.  Before we start, our team will look at your financials and compare them to our customers in your industry to get a rough idea of the impact Adexa solutions might have on your business.  We will also benchmark your results against the best-in-the-class competitors within your industry.  If our initial findings indicate a substantial amount of value can be achieved, then we will recommend a short but more complete Value Assessment process with our experts. 

The main purpose of the Value Assessment is to prove where in the value range of benefits your organization may fall; conservative, moderate or aggressive.  To determine this we look at operational drivers from key areas such as manufacturing, sales, operations, suppliers and even key customers.  Again, this information will be benchmarked against the actual results Adexa’s customers are experiencing.  We will then recommend a tailor-made solution to meet your business improvement requirements. 

Below are improvements in the previously mentioned KPI’s that Adexa customers have realized:

The result of this Value Assessment analysis is a thoroughly researched and outlined project map that is tied to actual value delivered and can be easily understood and justified by both medium and high level stakeholders within your organization.  You will walk away with a roadmap that outlines where you need to go and how you will get there.
