RV Manufacturing Company
Endeavor3 performed an IT Utilization assessment to determine what benefit there was to be gained from
upgrading core software and whether there would be added benefit from switching to a tier-one ERP system.
We further developed an Operation Solutions Map (OSM) that proposed new business process to fully utilize
the upgraded technology, allowing a 25% gain of organizational profits. The OSM provided the client with
a focused list of business and technology projects, with a specific, quantified business benefit associated
with each.
Endeavor3 continued to work alongside client staff in an advisory capacity, during implementation projects,
aiding the staff through the changes and supporting the development of specific skills required for each project.
In addition to a successful ERP system upgrade the client is also realizing a wide range of improvements to
their business, including improved Customer Service, reduced overhead costs and an industry leading eBusiness
capability. Case Study
Direct Sales Company
Endeavor3 was engaged by this premier direct seller of home products to carry out an IT Utilization (ITU)
assessment. The assessment covered all areas of the business, including planning, finance, supply chain,
order management, warehouse management and shipping. The assessment identified significant scope for
improving productivity and profitability within the context of the existing infrastructure and enterprise
software. The review of effective business use of technology was presented area-by-area, to allow further
work to be prioritized. In addition, the impact of system performance issues on the business was
quantified, and recommendations given for where to focus investigations into these issues.
Construction and Building Company
Endeavor3 performed an IT Utilization assessment and study that revealed opportunities to improve
productivity in administration, service delivery and marketing. The company achieved better
communication across each of the disciplines through cross integration of their supporting systems.
Our efforts demonstrated savings equivalent to 1-2% of annual sales volume.
Fastener Distribution Company
After performing an IT Utilization assessment, we were able to identify eight separate opportunities
to improve productivity. Endeavor3 consultants discovered the client had additional requirements for
their accounting software, which ultimately saved 50% on costs associated with month-end closings.
We also identified a security hole that went undetected by the internal IT staff.

Organizational profit increased by 20% subsequent to implementation.
