QAD

Scott Lawson, Director of IT Architecture at QAD, presents their use case at the erwin Evolve Virtual User Group Meeting on April 29, 2020.

QAD, based in Santa Barbara, CA, provides ERP and other adaptive, cloud-based enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies. QAD uses erwin Evolve by Quest for enterprise architecture to manage digital transformation.

Insights

• QAD needed an enterprise architecture framework to organize its information, to help employees answer questions for themselves – “like a Google for the enterprise.”
• By using erwin Evolve as an internal website to share active, as-is information, the organization has elevated IT to a strategic position.
