Industry Value Network Group for High Tech
Solutions and Services for Sales, Marketing, and Service
As the high-tech community grows globally, producing increasingly complex products, service costs grow with it. Because mitigating these costs is dependent upon on layers of channel partners representing the brand owner, effective channel management is essential to the success of high-tech companies. But effective channel management requires three essential elements: transparency of end-customer information, effective brand-owner post-sales service, and efficiency in uncovering revenue-generating leads.
The Industry Value Network group for high tech stimulates the development of end-to-end solutions that provide the automation and the full sales-cycle management and visibility needed by global brand owners to successfully scale revenue – without suffering a corresponding increase in sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses.

Service and Inventory Optimization
Effective planning of the high-tech supply chain is critical to ensuring customer satisfaction and service revenue. However, short product lifecycles, demanding contract requirements, and fluctuating parts demand spread across multiple stocking locations makes high-tech supply chain management an extreme challenge.
MCA's Service and Inventory Optimization (SIO) has helped address this challenge by complementing and extending the functionality of SAP Service and Asset Management with service parts forecasting and inventory optimization functionality that enables high-tech industry leaders to reduce inventory while dramatically increasing service levels. SIO has prepackaged and SAP-supported prepackaged interfaces to reduce implementation costs and accelerate time to value.
