The manufacturing and distribution sectors have been significantly impacted by several factors in recent years, and as an industry leader yourself, you have realized that a strong technology foundation is needed within your business in order to meet these challenges.

RSM’s Catalyst for Manufacturing is a customer engagement journey based upon Microsoft’s proven Catalyst framework to help businesses conceive and realize business transformation by moving through a series of curated phases: Inspire, Design, Empower and Achieve.

Catalyst workshops are focused on building a roadmap to successfully implement Microsoft technologies ranging from ERP platforms such as Dynamics 365 for Finance & Supply Chain and Dynamics 365 Business Central, to integrated offerings like Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Customer Insights, Field Service, Sales, Human Resources and Marketing.
