Stridely Solutions, Brampton, ON

I am the chief operating and marketing officer for a global engineering company. Focused on quality assurance in the oil, gas, and utilities sector, we specialize in the exploration and production of wells, well cementation sidetracking, directional drilling, mud elaboration, and support. Developed in pure HTML and managed by IT staff, our legacy intranet had become cumbersome to maintain, update, and extend. The frequent outages and maintenance delays were resulting in poor performance and low user engagement. In addition, the servers were approaching the end of their service lives, increasing their costs and making them less stable and reliable. We hired Stridely to help standardize the IT infrastructure into the Microsoft environment. We had three primary goals: consolidate the corporate portal, improve internal communication, and unify the employees from various offices and departments. Stridely’s detailed layout became integral to the intranet’s development plan. Centralizing the documentation facilitated seamless cross-departmental interaction within the first month after deployment. The improved accessibility to highly personalized content, applications, and more has increased reliability, productivity, and uptime while virtually eliminating slowdowns and bottlenecks. The system is user friendly, promotes smarter decisions, and keeps our IT overhead low. Using a variety of communication channels, such as email and daily calls, fostered uninterrupted collaboration and allowed all parties to stay on track with the analysis process. Our project manager made the data maintenance process very transparent and met with us regularly. We had also clearly established our objectives, which helped them consistently achieve their milestones on schedule or even earlier.

We were looking forward to develop commercial sales support wherein we can enhance our commercial purchases. It included entire end to end workflow where we can execute the orders in the shortest span possible, featuring from order inception to the payment options. A versatile solution was needed that is quickly deployed with robust reporting capabilities while allowing ease of use for outstanding customer service and adaptable to consume data from multiple internal systems, including Microsoft CRM, Dynamics AX. Stridely was able to bring the solution with ease having a standardize look and feel across the site using common site templates for data sharing and collaboration. They used SharePoint online to deliver key requirements of the project that provided both ease of data entry and workflow, with the scalability and flexibility to support changing business requirements over time. They communicated on daily basis for each day's status and updates through emails. However, we used to have weekly calls, they were quick to explain on how the project was processing. If we were in need anything to be delivered faster, they were flexible and also assigned more resources to the project. Overall, they were easy to work with. Their level of knowledge and range of development skills. The investment that their employees made in understanding our business was very impressive. They were constantly asking questions to understand the concepts to deliver the best possible product. Moreover, they also came up with their own solutions and offered a lot of suggestions to improve our solutions in much better way. We were benefited from their pool of knowledge.

We are one of the leading manufacturers, importers, and distributors of packaging materials and machinery based in Canada. We were looking forward to replacing our existing software which was no longer efficient to support our business. The software was no longer capable of completing key tasks and daily processes were interrupted repeatedly. We hired Stridely to implement SAP Business one which will help us to get clear visibility of our stock levels along with the key financial and profit information in real-time without the need for manual coordination and excess spreadsheets. Stridely developed a wholesale and distribution solution that simplified the overall process. Spreadsheets were no longer required by our line managers; in fact, the timely information helps our staff to stay up-to-date with the market prices and the insights to allow decision-makers to maximize buying power. Moreover, Stridely also implemented B1 Surfer Enterprise for the field-based sales representatives and transport teams. This has reduced the number of calls to offices from the field representatives and provides instant access to centralized data on customer records and the ability to process new opportunities and sales quotes remotely and check stock levels. They were extremely accessible and we never felt like we were working overseas. If I need to talk to someone, I can count them to be available. They are both casual and a lot more professional. Stridely performed a wonderful job of managing the project. They line up the right resources to deliver and we are certainly happy to recommend them to anyone.
