SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QAD Inc., a leading provider of next-generation manufacturing and supply chain solutions in the cloud, introduced the Elevate Program, which provides its ERP customers a simplified upgrade path to QAD Adaptive ERP through a rapid, low-cost, automation-powered approach.

Using a prescriptive scope and timeline, the QAD Elevate Program leverages knowledgeable QAD consultants to create an outcome-driven roadmap to upgrade to the QAD Cloud in less than six months. Pre-packaged cloud migration tools help to eliminate risk and remote delivery capabilities ensure rapid implementation and faster time-to-benefit.

“Participating companies can do away with customizations, improve functionality and real-time visibility, and optimize processes by reducing their time commitment from key project resources, resulting in minimal business impact,” said Romeo Sequeira, vice president, global services business development at QAD. “QAD delivers flexibility and helps companies stay current to realize the full benefits of QAD Adaptive Applications, including supply chain and advanced technologies.”
