Strategic Information Group received the Business Transformation Award - This award recognizes a partner that helps a customer change its business processes as supported by QAD solutions and has been able to measure and demonstrate those achievements. Leveraging their long-standing partnership with Strategic, the customer embarked on a critical migration project to transition from its on-premise ITAR-compliant QAD environment to QAD Defense Cloud in AWS GovCloud. This highly technical engagement required seamless collaboration between Strategic and PPG resources, ensuring compliance with ITAR regulations while maintaining high performance and system reliability. Delivered on time and with no unplanned downtime, the project exemplifies Strategic’s expertise in cloud migrations, application support, and technical implementation, effectively managing complex tasks and multiple resources with precision.

Arista Consulting received the QAD Cloud Award - This award recognizes a partner that demonstrates a strong commitment to software, services, and technology, and affords customers a rapid and agile deployment in the QAD Cloud. Arista migrated three plants from a highly customized QAD on-premise environment with hundreds of customizations and multiple integrations to the latest version of QAD Cloud in an impressive six months. Arista worked in collaboration with the QAD team and earned the customer’s quarterly TennX award.

IT Conosur received the Rapid Achiever Award - This award highlights an exceptionally rapid, agile and effective implementation of a QAD solution with demonstrable results from an experienced and highly skilled team. A leading food production plant adopted QAD Adaptive ERP, achieving a remarkable transformation through the implementation of its no-code/low-code tools. In record time, this client transitioned from a paper-based production environment to a fully systematized and traceable shop floor. This transformation marked a milestone in operational efficiency, delivering:

• Enhanced shop floor control: The client optimized real-time visibility into their production processes, enabling continuous monitoring and the ability to make quick, informed decisions.

• Improved traceability: Every stage of the production process is now documented and interconnected, ensuring compliance with quality standards and building trust with end customers by guaranteeing transparency in production.
