Implementation

Once you have decided to choose MARS, we offer proven methodologies, advanced software tools, and open technology to get MARS up and running and contributing to your business goals.

First, our experienced consultants work with you to identify the best solution and configuration of MARS for your business - a solution that is specific to your working conditions, configured for best practices, and optimised to help you rapidly realize bottom-line benefits. Next, we develop an implementation strategy and a plan that enables you to manage the project and evaluate progress along the way. From the very beginning, we make sure that you get something that will give you a competitive advantage. We know that the only way we can be successful is by ensuring that you are successful.

Throughout the process, proven methodologies ensure that the project remains on schedule and on budget. Open, standards based technologies enable smooth integration with a range of existing systems. Tried-and-tested modeling techniques promote low total cost of ownership and help you maximize your investment. Once implementation is complete, user training and knowledge management tools, along with a range of services and support, ensure that your solution performs at the highest levels.

Business today never stands still, and MARS can help shipyards to adopt best practices and continuously improve the performance of each specific MARS solution. With more than 65 leading shipyards worldwide as references, experience in implementing MARS has generated a valuable pool of knowledge, which allows us to integrate best practices as part of the implementation.

Our industry-specific benchmarks identify best practices, while our continuous business improvement program uncovers key areas for development. System optimisations, recommendations for new functionality, and user training combine to drive agility competitiveness and profitability. As MARS has been conceptually designed and developed for the shipyard industry, the implementation at a shipyard takes less time, less expenditure and finally much less risk compared with implementing a traditional ERP solution.
