Precision Dynamics Corporation Primes for Growth With Robust Enterprise Solution

Overview With over 50 years of service and innovation, Precision Dynamics Corporation (PDC) is the global leader in identification wristbands and advanced ID solutions. PDC's legacy systems were unable to support strategic objectives, including planned growth, geographical expansion and business model diversification. Highly-customized legacy systems monopolized IT staff time and required increasingly scarce skill sets. The company needed new software solution to handle complex rebate arrangements that have a significant financial impact on the company. PDC leveraged DAZ Systems, Inc. to successfully accomplish a "Big-bang" conversion in one weekend and implemented Oracle Trade Management to achieve 100% accuracy in rebate programs.
