We’ve heard some great speakers today generating lots of ideas and excitement around technology and what the future holds. I’m going to try to bring some of these points together over the next 20-25 minutes and explore how QuantiQ can help our clients ensure successful outcomes of their business transformation projects.
I’m fairly new to QuantiQ but have been involved in the Microsoft world of business solutions for a number of years.
I’ve worked with NAV, AX, CRM, SharePoint and BI.
I first got involved in ERP when I led an implementation for a small business in my early twenties (back in the day when we operated on a single server and still changed tapes every night for backups).
I then moved partner side by which time I had 6-7 years of hands on business experience.
I have worked on many projects and have experience in multiple roles including a number of practice management roles
for both NAV and AX. I most recently worked end user for a couple of years to create an internal CRM capability for Lloyd’s of London. I intentionally wanted to move back to end user for a while to almost practise what I’ve been preaching for the past however many years. That two years has benefited me far more than I thought it would teaching me the importance of all of the things that we talk to our clients before they embark on technology projects.
I have chosen to move back to the partner channel because I’m excited by the changes taking place through technology. I also believe that ERP can be delivered more efficiently and more effectively than it has been in the past. The approach that we take to implementing tech is something I’ve always been driven to try to continually improve. We sometimes get too caught up in doing things the tried and tested way due to contractual obligations given the size, scale and financial commitments of some projects. There’s a brave new world out there which is encouraging a different approach. Is there any such things as a BAU state any more or should we be ensuring we’re able to respond to change much quicker than we’ve done previously?
Given the pace that technology is changing at I believe it’s critical that we learn how to implement and introduce changes much quicker than we’re used to doing.
I believe that there are four areas where QuantiQ’s experience can fundamentally help to ensure successful outcomes for you, our clients.
Our people and culture
Our passion and abilities around technology
The fact we are using tools and technology daily
Our experience through previous projects, our clients and our people around methodology
QuantiQ is one of a small number of companies with the capabilities to implement across the full Microsoft suite of applications.
We have 294 Active Clients and 880 Deployments across the full range of Microsoft business applications.
Technology is evolving at a much faster pace than it has ever done before and QuantiQ ensures that we keep pace with change. We do this through investing in training for our people and using tools wherever possible ourselves.
We use CRM.
We’re soon going to be adopting D365E for full PSA and resource scheduling.
We use PowerBI throughout the organisation.
We use other Microsoft tools extensively – OneNote and SharePoint
We use VSTS to manage all of our developments and
How does this benefit you?
Our experience across all applications enables us to work with you to understand your needs and future strategy and to recommend the right solution dependent upon these
We are familiar with Microsoft and how to manage technology changes throughout the lifecycle of a project.
We have insight in to what is coming down the line with all of our consultants and developers ensuring they’re up to date with Microsoft roadmap.
The richness of features and functionality has changed the focus of many projects to configuration, user adoption and business process change rather than long, drawn out development projects.
Our teams will encourage you to stay as close to a standard product as possible to ensure your upgrade path, supportability and ability to adopt new features quickly in the future – a little more on this shortly.

The Key differentiators are that this offers true out of the box omni-channel retailing; Intelligent forecasting and product recommendations; Enhanced in-store digital experience; Power of the Microsoft cloud (security, SLA, scale, BI and mobility)
Merchandising Director
Retailers have large volumes of data on their customers’ shopping behavior, but they don’t necessarily have the right tools to interpret that data or know what to do with it. Data about customers and their shopping behavior history, combined with their social media activity data, can be analyzed and help the retailer add value to the shopping experience. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides retailers with great opportunities to capture new customer insights about in-store behavior in real time but also poses challenges, as implementing an IoT strategy can seem complicated and expensive. Retailers need to use digital strategies to implement the type of customer pre-purchase insight that previously was only available online, which will help them stay relevant to their customers through personalized engagement that drives conversion, basket size, and inventory performance at the shelf edge.
COO
To keep the lights on, COOs need to make sure they can integrate all channels into a seamless shopping experience – whether the customer is in the store, online, on mobile or social, or browsing a catalog. While online stores have long been predicted as the death of the brick-and-mortar store, the reality is that the majority of retail sales are still generated in-store. And, over half of consumers want to use digital devices in-store. Increasingly, a retailer's success is directly tied to their ability to provide relevant, accurate product information in-store, online, and via mobile to deliver the personalized experiences that will keep customers satisfied.
VP of Stores
Workforce is one of the top investments for retailers, but also potentially one of their biggest assets. In retail, empowering employees to provide a high level of customer and guest satisfaction is the key to growth, profitability, and competitive advantage. In an industry with higher-than-average employee turnover, retailers recognize the harmful effects of employee churn—including wasted training time, fragmented teams, and lower sales. A dissatisfied or unengaged employee can negatively impact sales. The retail industry has one of the highest turnover rates—especially when considering seasonal staffing. This is important for training times as well as use of technology to help people do their jobs better and empower them to provide excellent customer service.
CMO
In some ways, the digital experience is surpassing the in-store experience, which is an expensive alternative and difficult to scale. To be competitive, retailers must explore ways to add value to the customers’ shopping experiences by combining the best of digital and physical retailing to provide a consistent experience across shopping channels. Retailers must engage customers with unique, interactive ways to share their purchases with friends, and provide digital experiences in stores across a variety of devices from smart phones to digital signs. And retailers must deliver personalized and targeted offers.
CIO
Retailers face complex regulatory, sustainability, security and localization challenges. Business is moving at an accelerated pace, technology has become increasingly complex, and competition is greater than it has ever been. Retailers struggle to respond to the rapidly changing business needs and competitive landscape due to a wide range of impediments created by their legacy business models and technology. Data breaches and data privacy concerns can divert limited resources away from priorities that power the business, fuel growth, and delight the customer. Companies need systems that are reliable, secure, and scalable by default so they can focus on innovation in a manner that is agile and responsive to business needs. Silos of systems and data hinder innovation and prevent retailers from delivering the desired seamless channel experiences.
