Managing over $50 Million dollars per year in sales services and employing over 2,000 people requires a high level of financial and manufacturing accountability in an efficient manner.

These linkages will increase the communication and status of orders providing better customer service and lower costs due to waste. It will also provide management reports and better analysis of current conditions and trends.

• Customer Relationship Management
• Sales
• Operations
• Finance
• Manufacturing and Service operations

The software will be capable of supporting multiple types of manufacturing and subcontract service operations at numerous locations simultaneously. In addition, the software will support the exchange of information between various sites of operations and customer sites and have a level of customizability to allow integration with other state of Maryland systems, mainly FMIS (Maryland’s Financial Management Information System).

Duties will include:

• The Project Manager shall oversee and direct the Enterprise Resource Planning project team, consisting of State and contractual personnel.
