Time for Celebration! Nonwoven Fabric Industry Leader Fitesa Selects Fullscope and

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations

Congratulations to Emir Dobraca, Linda Hope, Sylvain Menard, Perry Murphy, Ronnie

White, Steve Reed, John Insleman, and Ivan MacDonald for closing a cloud deal,

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations, at Fitesa. The Fullscope team was supported by

John Flagg, Deborah Vermillion, Don Lees, and Shawna Mikes from Microsoft. The lead

came from John Flagg at Microsoft.

Fitesa is a leader in the nonwoven fabric industry, specializing in providing innovative

fabrics for the hygiene, medical, and industrial markets. They make Spunmelt, Carded,

Airlaid, and specialty fabrics for applications in baby care, feminine hygiene, and adult

incontinence, as well as medical, agricultural, and industrial products. With executive

offices in Gravatai, Brazil, and Simpsonville, SC, Fitesa operates ten manufacturing

locations in eight countries.

Fitesa is currently running three legacy systems: Baan, BPICS, and TOTVS Protheus. One

of the key objectives for Fitesa was to have a system that could support their global

growth strategy, which consists of both acquisition and greenfield. They no longer want

technology to be the bottle neck; instead, they want full visibility into their operations

across the globe. Fitesa believes that Microsoft technology, Dynamics 365 for

Operations, and Office 365 will best prepare them to become a true global company.

Fullscope competed against two ERP vendors and another Dynamics 365

implementation partner and was selected due to our process manufacturing expertise,

which was illustrated through numerous customer reference calls and customer site

visits. Additionally, Fullscope was able to position itself as the best Microsoft partner for

Fitesa for this significant multi-year, global project by exhibiting our process

manufacturing expertise along with our ability to provide global implementation

partners for their respective locations.

Initial project planning begins late January with formal project start in early February.

Introducing Microsoft Dynamics 365

It is all anyone in the Microsoft Dynamics community has been discussing. Since

Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella’s announcement back in July, Microsoft Dynamics 365

has caused quite the stir amongst partners and customers alike. Dynamics 365 unifies

CRM and ERP cloud solutions together into one unified, cloud-based application

platform. Nadella’s main takeaways to eager customers were that Microsoft Dynamics

365:

Helps organizations move from monolithic application suites to purpose-built,

SaaS applications with intelligence built in

Integrates Microsoft Office 365

Introduces a disruptive and customer centric business model to build what you

want and buy just the capabilities you need, while ensuring all roles have access

to all the data they need to be successful in their jobs

All the fuss has consumers asking, “What is Dynamics 365?” and “What does this

integration mean for my business?” More importantly, “What sets Dynamics 365 apart

from the competition?”

It’s Purpose-Built

According to Microsoft, Dynamics 365 provides customers a modern and familiar

experience with built-in insights, intelligence, and workflow. It allows customers to mix

and match the features that they specifically need, which can be selected from a huge

catalog that include sales, marketing, customer service, field service, project

management, accounting, and much more. Dynamics 365 merges current CRM and ERP

functionality into one comprehensive, cloud-based collection of cloud apps and services

for business.

Dynamics 365 apps are independently deployed and bring together the full

power of Microsoft’s Enterprise offerings. With these business apps, customers can start

Page 8: Edgewater Fullscope Portfolio

small and only pay for what is needed, and from there expand their arsenal. The app

catalogue includes built-in insights, predictive intelligence, and workflow optimization,

among many other selections. All of these will be delivered through simple, easy-to-use

mobile experiences with offline capabilities.

It’s Productive

Dynamics 365 will provide an immersive user experience with Office 365.

Microsoft states that there will be a deep integration between Dynamics 365 and Office

365 that will connect the structured workflow of business apps with the unstructured

work of collaboration and productivity. With Dynamics 365, all information you have can

easily be uploaded and shared on Office 365, and it is offered across web, mobile

devices, and the PC.

It’s Intelligent

Power BI and Cortana Intelligence will be natively embedded into Dynamics 365

to attain actionable next steps and predictive insights for customers everywhere, making

this the AI product that everyone will be eager to demo. Cortana will enable cross-sell

recommendations to help sales reps predict which products and services a customer will

need, and uses tools like sentiment analysis to check on the likelihood of closing a deal.

Meanwhile, the Power BI components of Dynamics 365 align big data and analytics to

enable every user to gain their own analytical insights. With Dynamics 365,

comprehensible data is always at the user’s fingertips.

It’s Adaptable

In an industry that is constantly evolving, you need a system that can be easily

adapted. Dynamics 365 supports existing capabilities that any Dynamics CRM or

Dynamics AX user is running today, and has introduced Microsoft PowerApps and

Microsoft Flow, which are powerful new extension capabilities that work across all the

data that’s been stored in Dynamics 365. Specifically, Microsoft Flow automates

workflows across applications, while Microsoft AppSource offers SaaS applications that

cover a huge range of requirements. To view Edgewater Fullscope’s AppSource apps for

the manufacturing industry, click here.

The new Common Data Model surfaces all the data stored within Dynamics 365

across a set of custom entities that model data across all the different business apps.

Page 9: Edgewater Fullscope Portfolio

This feature allows you to seamlessly extend and accelerate all of your business apps as

well as all your productivity solutions.

With Dynamics 365, customers can get the job done quickly and effortlessly while

adjusting to a changing environment at a moment’s notice. As Satya Nadella said during

the reveal of Dynamics 365, “The motivating force behind everything we do and

everything we build is to empower our customers to make things and make things

happen. Together with our customers and partners, we are reinventing business

processes for a world where devices, data, intelligence and connectivity can be

everywhere.”

An award-winning Microsoft manufacturing partner with nearly two decades of

experience, Edgewater Fullscope can guide you into a move to Dynamics 365. Our team

has deep manufacturing experience that can help you combat your toughest

operational business challenges.

Subject Line: Always Sparkling! Glass Manufacturer Libbey Glass Company Selects Fullscope and

Microsoft Dynamics AX

Congratulations to Steve Sanderson, Beth Wells, Steve Reed, Ivan MacDonald, Alex Kozlenko, Nancy

Mukomela, Ron Scott, Cesar Picone, Drew Rouse, Andrew Baehr and Perry Murphy for closing an SOW

for services for a Microsoft Dynamics AX Cloud deal at Libbey Inc. MCS had initially taken the lead at

Libbey and they were supported by Mike Ossola, Bruno Ierullo, Sandra Larrea, and Steve Moses. This

lead came from Fullscope Business Development, Microsoft, and Convergence 2015 via a Bush Brothers’

referral.

Libbey, based in Toledo, Ohio, is believed to be the No. 1 glassware company in the world. Libbey

designs, produces and markets an extensive line of high-quality tableware including: glassware, ceramic

dinnerware, metal flatware, hollowware, serve ware and home decor items in over 100 countries for the

foodservice, retail and B2B markets.

The company currently uses multiple instances of JD Edwards. The search for a new ERP system was

driven by Libbey’s need to increase productivity, automate manual processes, obtain better information

to make sound decisions and reduce costs. Integrating to one platform solves these demands.

Libbey’s executives considered SAP, Oracle, and Dynamics AX before deciding on Dynamics AX. Fullscope

was selected as their AX partner in a partner evaluation following the selection of AX.

Fullscope benefited greatly from our partnership with Bush Brothers’. Libbey felt that Bush Brothers was

similar to them, and therefore took interest in Fullscope. During the formal evaluation process, Libbey

became comfortable with our attention to detail and experience in the CPG industry. Company

executives also connected with Beth Wells, who led the initial discovery and estimate process during an

RFP phase. We developed a consultative relationship, helping them with various technical and functional

items as they began to delve into AX. We are also helping them scope other initiatives including rollout

of the full breadth of AX in their North America business units.

Libbey began the initial implementation of specific work streams with 400 users in North America the

week of August 1st.

Subject Line: A Heavy Metal Family! Metal manufacturer Samuel, Son & Co. Selects

Fullscope and Microsoft Dynamics 365

Congratulations to Gus Vattiata, Ivan MacDonald, Steve Sanderson, Nancy Feddersen,

John Scandar, Sylvain Menard, Alex Kozlenko, and the implementation team that started

at the end of 2016 of: Fred Betchel, Domenic Mattia, Bill Vail, Samar Al-Jammal, and

Clayton Loden for closing a Microsoft Dynamics D365 opportunity at Samuel, Son & Co.

Microsoft support for the deal came from Alison Wheeler and Joyce Lafleur. This lead

came from Nancy Fedderson from Inside Sales and we were then introduced into the

account and supported by Microsoft.

Samuel, Son & Co., Limited is a family owned business founded in 1855 and is the 4th

largest metal processor and distributor in North America. Samuel is also a major

manufacturer of metal and related products. Samuel offers a full range of value added

processing services and a complete range of carbon, stainless and aluminum products in

all shapes and forms. Samuel employs over 5,000 people who operate over 100 Service

Centers and Manufacturing plants in North America as well as facilities in the UK,

Australia and China.

The company currently uses Oracle, JDE, and other ERP systems. The new search was

driven by Samuel’s objective to move all its business units and locations (approximately

110) onto 1 common ERP system. Samuel has grown substantially and a large portion of

that growth was via acquisitions, leading to an existing IT environment made up of

many disparate pieces.

After considering Oracle, Samuel’s executives selected the cloud-based solution,

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations (formally Dynamics AX). They eliminated Oracle

after seeing the industry-specific Dynamics 365 third party software that Crowe Horwath

offered for the steel industry. Oracle could not provide similar industry specific

functionality. Edgewater Fullscope was highly recommended by Microsoft as well other

Toronto customers, such as Mother Parkers. We are working alongside Crowe Horwath

on the implementation.

As noted above, The Samuel, Son & Co. implementationalready began in October with a

team of six consultants. The Statement of Work was recently completed for the first

phase of the project.

Subject Line: Zipping into Success! Industrial manufacturer selects Fullscope and Microsoft

Dynamics AX

Congratulations to Ted Root, Linda Hope, Randy Goldbeck, Brian Bognar, and Terry Roe for

closing an SOW for services for a Microsoft Dynamics AX Cloud Deal at Zip-Pak. The lead came

from Microsoft SSP with information provided by Brian Bognar and Terry Roe.

Zip-Pak, a division of Illinois Tool Works, is a Fortune 200 company that is one of the world’s

leading diversified manufacturers of specialized industrial equipment, consumables and related

service businesses. The company operates in more than 52 countries around the world with

more than 270 dedicated flexible packaging professionals who focus their efforts to meet and

exceed the needs of every Zip-Pak client. Zip-Pak has a significant presence in developed and

emerging markets, offering a complete range of re-sealable closure services, machinery, and

solutions.

The company is currently using Sage Mas 90 as their ERP system. The search for a new ERP

system was driven by the company’s desire to consolidate their multiple divisions onto a single

platform. Sage Mas 90 is only in a single division and does not have the manufacturing

capabilities Zip-Pak requires.

Zip-Pak’s executives considered Epicor and Infor Syteline before deciding on Microsoft

Dynamics AX. Although the system functionality was relatively close, they selected Fullscope and

because of our implementation and project management. Our desire to lead and guide the

company appealed to the Zip-Pak executives; we will lead them and challenge their assumptions

to ensure a realistic process, scope and timing for implementation. Zip-Pak selected Dynamics

AX for the latest technology and advanced functionality. The scope of the project will be to

replace the existing disparate ERP system into a single ERP for the company.

Implementation began in October with 100 users in four sites.
