Dayton, Ohio, January 5, 2012 – Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have proven vital to business success, they allow for management information to flow across all business functions which improves the efficiency of the organization.

However, to achieve the most value from an ERP investment, it is critical that core business processes which rely printing operate seamlessly and reliably. Core business processes rely on printed documents such as invoices, pick tickets, labels, bills of lading, checks and more.

ERP systems typically do not address the printing function. Therefore, the customer’s return on investment may be less than optimal.

To quantify the impact of printing on ERP return, Alinean Inc recently conducted a case study which was set on determining the ROI of a manufacturing company implementing an Output Management System.

In this case, the manufacturing company has 34,000 employees worldwide and generates $5 billion in annual revenue. The study measured the value of adding an output management software system to the company’s ERP system.

In the first 3 years of the study, the output management solution averaged nearly $8.3 million in benefits while the costs associated with the implementation only set the company back about $1.7 million, which yielded an average ROI of around 392 percent.

This case study helps validate the case for output management software. Efficient output management can help organizations core business applications become more efficient, more functional, and easier to manage. This can in turn, can reduce labor costs, decrease support workloads, insure compliance, and help maintain privacy.
