YASH Technologies manufacturing industry solutions, coupled with the Portal Accelerator Program, provide the ideal platform for companies to begin this journey by initially implementing one of the following solutions using a portal as the delivery vehicle, followed by another solution in each subsequent 12 week cycles.

1. Enterprise Portal Solutions
for the Manufacturing Industry
YASH Portal Accelerator Programs…
Creating Adaptive Manufacturing Ecosystem
A New Class of Portal for Manufacturing Companies
Over the years, manufacturing companies have invested heavily in ERP and other enterprise systems, portals, and E-
business applications. These systems have delivered important benefits, but have often left key management, process
owners, plant managers and staff hungry for real-time, consolidated, personalized views of key metrics and actionable
intelligence to make decisions.
Building on many years of ERP, E-business, and manufacturing industry experience, YASH Technologies has developed a
Manufacturing Portal Program designed to deliver important benefits through a highly efficient, 12-week process.
Unlike Portal ‘QuickStart’ or ‘JumpStart’ programs of the last 8-10 years, the YASH Portal Accelerator program delivers
mission-critical information to focused groups of business and operational managers, partners or customers of your
company. The program’s goal is to leverage the speed and ease of portal technology to deliver critical information that
is often buried in more traditional systems.
YASH Portal Accelerator Program - Transforming Business in 12 Weeks
Based on our deep domain knowledge and best practices, YASH created industry-specific solutions around three
challenge areas that are common among manufacturing: Manufacturing Operational Excellence, Supply Chain
Collaboration, and Customer Service. Each solution area identifies opportunities for improved business performance.
Some of the key features of the YASH Portal Accelerator Program include:
Best practices and accelerator tools to speed the realization of measurable business results
Time-boxed 12 week cycles - identifying the key priority for your organization and delivering on it, then building on
with another modular solution
Implementation done across four different phases using our proprietary, portal implementation approach called
YASH|Approach in an iterative fashion; typically each implementation is realized in eight week iterations
