Microsoft Releases New Case Study Highlighting Successful Partnership between Advanced Systems Integration and Zurn

Advanced Systems Integration Helps Empower Major Plumbing Manufacturer with Successful Implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX


LAKE FOREST, CA – December 10, 2007 – Advanced Systems Integration, Inc. (ASi) a Gold Certified Microsoft Dynamics AX Solution & Training Partner is pleased to announce the release of a new Microsoft authorized case study on its recent Microsoft Dynamics AX implementation and training support at Zurn.

The new case study, funded and written by Microsoft, highlights the immediate benefits and cost savings that Zurn was able to achieve after the successful implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX (formerly Microsoft Business Solutions Axapta) by ASi, including:
• Maintaining Low Total Cost of Ownership
• Eliminating Redundancies and Automating Processes
• Increasing Inventory Visibility

Zurn, based in Erie, Pennsylvania, manufactures commercial-grade plumbing products and accessories. The company’s three incompatible enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems (including Oracle) made it difficult to efficiently share information across business units. Upper management was left without a real-time enterprise view of sales and warehouse data, resulting in costly redundancies. With help from Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Advanced Systems Integration, Zurn deployed Microsoft Dynamics AX business management software, which addressed IT concerns at Zurn and provided the IT team the means to fix, operate, and customize the ERP system on its own.

For complete details and a copy of the November 30, 2007 released case study, please visit the ASi website at: www.advancedsystemsintegration.com or Microsoft Case Studies at: http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/casestudy.aspx?casestudyid=4000001073.
