At Valence we like to be known for building and deploying leading-edge solution using digital transformation technologies. While many companies see the need for transformation, choosing where to start in any big industrial enterprise — and in particular manufacturing, operations and logistics — can be overwhelming. The gap between business systems and tools and the six pillars of technology transforming business today may as well be the Grand Canyon. Taken together with the often monumental change management and culture gap workload, many teams find themselves far from becoming a data and technology-driven enterprise. Many know they need to execute on digital transformation — they just don’t know where to start.

At Valence we try to close these gaps by connecting business domain knowledge in our target industries with technology and solution expertise. We try to know enough about an industry to help companies get started down the digital transformation path. Because getting started — simply beginning the process of “doing” and “learning” — is what matters most. And today we’re happy to announce that we are expanding our manufacturing, operations and logistics presence by announcing the hiring of Matt Meyers, a long-time industry veteran and previously a senior executive at Weyerhaeuser. Need a digital transformation team who understands global supply chain? How about distribution operations, warehousing, and transportation? What about reliability in industrial manufacturing? And why not add first-hand experience of monumental culture-change when integrating businesses, on top of the complexities of combining ERP systems? Now at Valence we have more domain knowledge to combine with our expertise than ever.

At Valence we are committed helping you transform your business and operating results through the practical application of modern technologies. And we want to connect you to the experts who understand your business to make it happen. We’re not talking about just purely academic knowledge from freshly minted MBAs, but real empathy from Fortune 500 senior leadership who has walked in your shoes (steel-toed, that is), coupled with seasoned operations and builders of technology solutions. Let’s make it happen!
