Strategic Solutions NW - MBS

SSNW delivered a simultaneous ERP migration for Kapstone and its acquisition target Longview, moving Longview from JD Edwards to Dynamics AX 2012 while upgrading Kapstone from AX 2009, resulting in $3 million in IT cost reductions, $16 million in procurement savings through vendor consolidation, and a 35% cut in finance costs. The project also slashed financial close time from 12 days to 2 days by reconfiguring finance processes and managing 60 third-party integrations with minimal vendor support. SSNW's deep familiarity with Longview's systems, gained from prior work, enabled a highly intelligent integration that preserved critical workflows and delivered significant long-term savings.

Strategic Solutions NW implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 with Advanced Contract Management for CradlePoint, a Boise-based cloud networking provider, to solve ASC 606 subscription revenue recognition challenges that its legacy custom software could not handle. The project integrated over twenty third-party systems—including Salesforce, Sana e-commerce, and Thomson Reuters OneSource—and moved CradlePoint's servers to Azure, enabling automated workflows and unified operations across retail, logistics, and wholesale divisions. A follow-up D365 Finance & Operations implementation in 2019 further reduced costs, and SSNW continues to support CradlePoint's deployment and integration needs.

SSNW upgraded Roseburg's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP to Microsoft SQL Server in 15 months, then integrated six manufacturing facilities from a Georgia Pacific acquisition within six months — an outcome Roseburg said would not have been possible without the earlier effort. A mobile scanning solution implemented by SSNW eliminated mis-shipped product claims entirely, paying for itself within the first year. SSNW partner Todd Rask served as Roseburg's acting CIO for over three years, guiding IT governance reform and change management for the 4,000-employee forest products manufacturer.
