AMS Fulfillment Services AMS vs. Legacy

In a Legacy environment, where an internal programming staff manages systems programming, maintenance is performed and features are added only by those who are familiar with the original system and all its previous changes. In this environment, changes become more difficult and more expensive as time goes on, and companies begin to rely heavily upon a few individuals. This approach can be very expensive, and somewhat risky as well… and the more a company invests into its Legacy system, they more they become entrenched.

Computer hardware is changing, computer operating systems and programming languages are evolving, as are the ways organizations process orders. Therefore it is suggested that any software decision you make must also include a decision on how that software is going to remain current in the years to come.

This is where AMS' Best-of-Breed approach programs come into play. AMS has chosen to partner with a select group of 3rd party software suppliers that specialize in unique service areas: General Order Management, DRTV and Consumer-based Order Management, Customer Service, Warehouse Management, e-Commerce, Manifesting, Bulk Presort… and more. Our internal Technology Team is abundantly familiar with each system, and together with each software company's support staff, we are able to quickly deliver to our clients' needs without carrying the massive overhead that this environment would demand if we chose to write and maintain it all in house. In the Best-of-Breed environment, the costs to maintain and upgrade the systems are in a sense shared among hundreds of companies. Best of all, inherent to each of our partner software company's businesses is a drive to stay on the cutting edge… they must stay current to remain competitive. AMS and its clients are the beneficiaries of this drive to compete, as we enjoy the best that Technology has to offer without the development costs!
