Travellers don't choose aircraft or airliners. Travellers choose airlines. And if you want to improve your manufacturing business you will avoid choosing a manufacturing ERP software system. Instead you will choose a supplier who has operated ERP services and support in your manufacturing landscape for so long that there is no question about their ability to work long term with your company. You'll choose a supplier with an outstanding reputation for safety, service and lasting business partnership.

Now considered essential in business infrastructure, ERP (enterprise resource planning), MRP (materials requirements planning) and DRP (distribution requirements planning) software systems are complex and complicated. These are the same attributes of modern jet airliners. They began as a 20th century luxury. But today they are essential in mass transportation infrastructure.

For passengers the difference between airliners is interesting but not paramount although that statement might be rejected by Boeing and Airbus. They would argue that travellers prefer to travel in faster and more modern aircraft. Therefore they, the aircraft manufacturers, must continuously improve their products and processes.

Nevertheless the passengers' true interest is travelling experience. Travellers don't choose aircraft or airliners. Travellers choose airlines. Travellers make their selections because of ticket price, convenient travelling times, frequency, and reputation for comfort and safety.

In the specialised field of 21st century ERP software, good ERP systems are complex and subject to continuous improvement. Good ERP software developers spend billions on product research and maintenance. But it is the travelling experience that is paramount. The ERP software system is equivalent to a jet airliner. But it is COGITA's expertise and COGITA's outstanding reputation for safety, service and lasting business partnership that will make the difference and determine if you and your company will enjoy the short term and long term benefits of your ERP investment.

That is why COGITA seeks partnership and works only on a partnership basis with clients. COGITA does not take "orders" from its clients and COGITA does not give "orders" to its clients. In its partnerships with clients COGITA does not accept all the risks. Nor does COGITA permit clients to take all the risks.

That's why COGITA has codified its partnership requirement in a lasting business partnership code.

NOTE: Partnership is a closed relationship in which a small number of participants express their preference for each other by investing time and resources to nurture the relationship so as to secure its long term outputs and benefits.
