Bourke Consulting Associates Collaborates with Access Commerce to Conduct Sales Configuration Value Assessment
Laguna Woods, CA - June 25, 2008 - Bourke Consulting Associates announced a joint project with Access Commerce, an international provider of configurator software, to conduct a Sales Configuration Value Assessment survey for configurable product manufacturers desiring to identify improvements in its sales configuration process. The improvements could be major cost reductions and/or revenue enhancements attainable through upgrading of the company's business practices and leveraging enabling software tools. Access Commerce and BCA are offering this survey at no cost or obligation to interested companies. Upon completion of the survey, a responding company will receive a summary analysis report of the survey answers and a 60-minute telephone review.
Access Commerce stated that responding companies will benefit from the wealth of experience of BCA personnel and gain insight that will help them uncover the potential value of configurator software.
To offer perspective, Dick Bourke, Principal Consultant stated, "Mass production of identical products is no longer viable for many industry sectors. Customers increasingly demand products customized to match their unique needs. To tower above the competition, companies with configurable products must master this demand driven environment. Companies determined to do so can take advantage of proven business processes and enabling software tools with a comprehensive Configurability Strategy - a term spanning the concepts of Mass Customization, Postponement, Personalization and Make -to-Order."
