Work with Novartis was with the partnership of IDS Sheer (now Software AG).  IDS Sheer was the original creator of ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems).  This is a significant design element as integration of business processes are required to meet business needs.  The processes are integrated with the transaction system to properly execute those processes.  This made it possible for success with the Gerber Food business unit to design the demand planning and supply network planning solutions.  LLC continues to support future rollouts for the business.
