SUMMARY:Solving ETO the Right Way: How to Build an IFS Solution That Works from Day One
DESCRIPTION:In ETO manufacturing and construction\, the hardest part of an IFS implementation isn’t the ERP. It’s engineering workflows that never got solved because nobody brought the right people into the conversation early enough. \nMost IFS deals follow the same pattern: discovery\, ERP selection\, implementation. CAD integration\, the workflow that connects engineering to production\, shows up after go-live\, when the client already has a problem. By then\, the solution is reactive. The business case is defensive. And the client is already frustrated. \nSome IFS partners do this differently. They bring the right solutions into discovery before vendor selection\, before scoping\, before any commitments are made. When the engineering workflow is solved alongside the ERP\, the outcome is different. The business case is stronger. The implementation is cleaner. And the client doesn’t find out 6 months later that their engineers are still spending 3 weeks on what should take 3 minutes. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n• The Partner-First Approach: How Tim Ryan at WIA Systems approaches IFS deals: discovery first\, solution design before vendor selection\, and why CADTALK is in the room from day one when the client’s BOM workflow is on the table.\n• The Before/After: What the specific engineering-to-IFS handoff looks like in a real ETO environment\, before and after automation. Same IFS. Same engineering team. 3 minutes instead of 3 weeks.\n• The Simple Framework: Three questions that tell you whether a deal needs CADTALK from the front. How to have that conversation. What the outcome looks like when the solution is built right. \nThis isn’t a product pitch. It’s two organizations who work in IFS environments every day; one that sells and implements it\, one that feeds it — talking honestly about how they work together. \nBest for: IFS implementation partners\, operations and engineering leaders at ETO manufacturers\, project-based construction firms running or evaluating IFS\, anyone whose CAD-to-ERP workflow still involves a spreadsheet. \n60 minutes with a Q&A \nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1147678388184201301?source=CADTALK+Website
