For Brigham's Ice Cream, Outsourcing Makes the PeopleSoft World Solution Even Sweeter

Overview For more than 80 years, Brigham's Ice Cream has manufactured and distributed its products in the New England region. Brigham's faced a turning point in its information systems environment. A necessary hardware upgrade presented a significant financial investment, while maintaining the IBM AS/400 and a growing internal network called for expanded technical staff. Brigham's management addressed outsourcing with its PeopleSoft account executive, and the Brigham's team was introduced to World Technology Services (WTS). Since 1998, WTS has handled Brigham's AS/400 operations and has hosted and managed their PeopleSoft World financial, distribution, and manufacturing software applications.
