Lifecycle Profitability Mozart On-Demand System

Zyom provides the On-Demand system Mozart developed for Sales Operations, Supply Chain Operations and Finance and their ecosystem of collaborators:

• Sales Channel partners (Distributors, VARs, OEMs, other Partners)
• Manufacturing and Design partners (CMs/ODMs)

"I wanted the system to scale with my needs…not the other way around" Fred Harried, VP of Operations, Ruckus Wireless

• Achieve profitable growth earlier in the lifecycle of their products, and
• Sustain profitability across lifecycles

Mozart enables Product companies make their Operations more Demand Responsive while balancing the needs of being Cost-competitive. How does Mozart help companies achieve this?

By providing a means for Operations teams at Product companies connect and collaborate quickly and smartly with their extended value chains (supply network on the Supply side and Channel partners on the Demand side)

Enabling Operations team Identify & Serve customer demand in the most profitable manner

Facilitating deep and rich collaboration in the context of the lifecycle of the company's products and development (early-stage Company, maturing Company, etc.); by not being Lifecycle agnostic, Mozart provides unique value

Mozart provides an enabler for Collaborative Operations (decisions & execution) across the value chain of a Company, maximizing profits irrespective of where the company is in its lifecycle.

Through a unique set of capabilities for Operations which facilitates:

1. Faster & more accurate collaboration across the Supply Network
2. Faster and clearer visibility of Customer and Channel Demand
3. Easier way to generate judgment based forecasts working across partners
4. Fast and accurate Available-to-Ship picture based on up-to-date execution data
5. Complete (360-degree) view of all Operational Costs utilized in decision making

So, what's new? These capabilities have been claimed by a plethora of providers - most notably, ERP providers. Here are a few reasons why their claims are empty-

• ERP-centric systems are not equipped to solve these problems (enterprise-centric versus value-chain centric process enabler)
• ERP systems were designed to be data & transaction store-houses within the four-walls of the enterprise and not Collaboration enablers across the company's value chain of partners
• Heavy customization of ERP systems is the only way to come close. Most customizations are done by consultants, most with vested interest in expanding custom development versus a system solution
• Deployment of Collaboration capabilities in ERP-centric systems is expensive and risky (Cost $100,000s up-front with no guarantee of results, and at best a 30% probability of success)
• ERP systems were built using pre-internet technologies to capture enterprise data, not to share data. At best they are poor retrofits (ERP screens converted to web pages does NOT make them Collaboration enablers)

Bottom line - ERPs were not built for Collaboration. There is a good reason why ERP systems fail in collaboration-intensive environments, or the customizations are off-limits for capital-constrained, dynamic small & mid-sized companies (and some dynamic, bigger businesses).

Working collaboratively in a dynamic value chain can only be enabled by a collaboration-centric solution such as Mozart. Mozart is designed from the ground up with Collaborative Operations in mind. Mozart is:

• Fast to deploy (ranging from few days to 3-4 weeks)
• Affordable
• Customizable within limits
• Requires Zero Training

Operations leaders at Product companies, especially with global or outsourced Operations know how collaboration is a critical competitive requirement. Understanding and servicing customer demand profitably cannot wait.
