“Have you ever followed the paradigm Strategy—Process—Systems to face business challenges and then implement solutions? Technology is only interesting if it is translated into Business.”

As a good company manager, you first define your strategy, then you align your processes to your strategy and only then you implement the systems to support your processes and your final strategy. The Movilitas LogCentre was founded to support you on this journey. Since our focus and consequently our mission statement is to bring technology to companies like yours and in this way to ensure your modernization and longevity in a rapidly changing marketplace, we understand that we need to act as a bridge between the technology gurus and the business managers. One of our maximas is that technology is as interesting as its business case is.You come to us once you have identified a challenge and you have a clear defined strategy. The Movilitas LogCentre is an initiative born to help you aligning your business processes to your strategy and facilitating the successful evaluation and later deployment of the necessary technical solutions and infrastructure.

In the Movilitas LogCentre you will find solutions to some of your current problems. You will learn from similar experiences from other customers. You will find help to build your business case and to calculate your total cost of ownership taking advantage a all our standardized templates and guidelines for ROI and TCO calculations. Finally in the Movilitas LogCentre you will find the right infrastructure to help you understand the possible technical solutions and to ensure a successful and risk free implementation.

“Have you ever had to evaluate technological solutions to solve a business problem and you found it hard and painful to find, to know and to fully understand them?”

We help you to evaluate and understand possible solutions to you problems. How? To understand solutions you need to discover, too see and to test them; not only the individual components but the entire integrated solution. Taking track and trace solutions as an example, as a company you need to discover, see and test RFID tags, Barcode scanners, RFID antennas and readers, mobile RFID readers and barcode scanners, a WiFi infrastructure, different types of sensors, RFID and barcode printers, a device controller, a labeling middleware solution, an RFID middleware as a tag repository and a SCM and an ERP system. Too many layers of complexity to build the integrated solution! But only the integrated solution working smoothly in all the parts brings the expected value that your company needs. So understanding them and taking the best choices is crucial for the later successful deployment.

One of our key missions is to facilitate the evaluation and the understanding of integrated technology solutions that add value to enterprise customers.

How? By becoming a 365 days per year physical and virtual demonstration Centre in which companies of any size can see, touch, simulate, compare and ask questions about business applications and the underlying technologies. Absolutely all solutions referred in the Centre are demonstrated through fully operational prototypes that can be touched and seen during the whole year. The Movilitas LogCentre is a 7x8x365 Solutions Centre. All solutions represented in the Centre are integrated solutions. In our Centre you will find not only software, but also all necessary mobile devices, printers and any other different type of equipment that a solution may require.

“Have you ever felt the responsibility of delivering a high risk and high visibility project on time and on budget?”

We help you to minimize the risk of your project. How? As an experienced project manager you know that there are four different dimensions to mitigate the risk: getting in touch with other companies that already did similar experiences, making sure that the project members have the required skills and experience, testing the technology in a protected environment before going to the big rollout (pilot or prototype), and last but not least important, involving the final users in a very early stage to ensure their buy-in and influence on the final solution.

As the Movilitas LogCentre, we recognize all those dimensions and we address all four of them; we help you mitigating the risk of your project because:

1  We act as a reference Centre. If you are looking for a solution, we can get you in touch with any company worldwide and we will make sure that you can share and exchange experiences and information. In addition to that we run regular industry specific events dedicated to stimulate the communication between IT departments of different companies from similar industries.

2  We are the only training centre worldwide that is able to teach your project staff not only on isolated parts of a solution, but on the entire solution as a whole. Our flexible portfolio of standard training courses and seminars will cover in most of the cases your training needs. In case it doesn’t, or for very specific solutions, we also offer tailor made know-how transfer workshops and courses. In addition to this, the Movilitas LogCentre offers you becoming part of the Movilitas network, where you can find all the required skills to complete your project team.

3  Thanks to the rich technical infrastructure that you will find in any of our Centres, we have for your company a unique value proposition: “Use your own Lab!” Any company, affiliated to the LogCentre, can use 100% any software and any equipments available in the Centre for testing, prototyping and piloting purposes. In case the required software or equipment is not already available on the Centre we will order it and have it available for you in your closest Centre. And the best: You can start using your lab now! By using our infrastructure there are no more bottlenecks or waiting times. Your project will never again be delayed because a server didn’t arrive on time, the test and evaluation licenses contract was not signed or because someone ordered the wrong RFID tags and mobile devices.

4  You can use our physical facilities and demo infrastructure to integrate your project sponsors and end users in the project at an early stage. Have you ever tried to explain your line of business, a complex technological solution, using PowerPoint? Then you probably know that this does not work. You can use the Centre and all available integrated demo equipments and running software to make solutions more tangible and understandable to your sponsors and key users from the very beginning. Only if they understand the entire picture they will contribute with valuable feedback to the project. As an affiliate, you can use our workshop rooms, file servers, project office, video conferencing facilities and web platform to hold as many internal meetings and workshops as required.
