AspenOne Supply Chain Management vs. Kami

Good for large organizations but can be used across various industries from manufacturing to even medical. Also very Citrix publishing friendly to allow multiple users located anywhere to use AspenOne Supply Chain Management across the organization while consolidating their data in a centralized secure place. This ability to consolidate and centralize applications and data within the same facility makes migration, high availability in DR scenario easier to configure as well.

When dealing with absent students, and giving them classroom material, Kami is great. I never make extra copies of worksheets anymore. If a student needs/wants a second one, they can get it digitally from me. Additionally, being able to track the feedback that I give to students is a real plus.

• Provides a wealth of data and information interpreted across management and supply chain team located at various offices and plants globally
• Implementation was with relative ease with small dedicated team. Implementation time was also quick from launch to go-live in three business quarters.
• Excellent technical support from AspenOne and their tier support is knowledgeable on the product.
• Good bug fixes and quick support along with predictable update release schedule.

• Kami does a great job at helping you reshape pdfs and share documents from different formats.
• I like being able to give all of my students a copy of a document, and having Kami organize each student's work product in real-time.
• I like being able to annotate directly on a student's work so that they can receive feedback in real-time.
• I like being able to merge, cut, and edit documents quickly.

• While AspenOne Supply Chain Management generate a wealth of data and information, the ability to organize and create reports can be time consuming as well as steep learning curve.
• While incremental updates are predictable, AspenOne major version updates can be difficult to implement with wide user impact causing more downtime than we prefer.
• Report merge and legacy version conversion tools can be made easier to use with more GUI (graphical user interface) options and less command base as well as status progress graphic and confirmation of completion would be very helpful.

• When I am multitasking on multiple screens, there are times when I am trying to scroll with my stylus and I end up writing on the document.
• When Kami creates folders and organization, there seems to be almost too much redundancy. The same file seems to be in multiple places. I don't know if that is a Kami problem or a me problem, but I'll probably start trying to clean things up a little soon.
• I think that the tool restriction for students method could be improved.

There is a small learning curve with some of the annotation tools. There is also a learning curve for embracing exactly what you can accomplish with Kami. However, with just a little practice, you can master just about all of the Kami features.

AspenOne Supply Chain Management was a cheaper alternative to SAP HANA and while as not feature-ful and not as easy to integrate with SAP data, the interface was easy enough to configure without the need for HANA. It was also easier and quicker to deploy and implement which alleviated our business pain point. It's like an old saying the best software is the one you can use, now! Our management and supply chain team members have been happy with the product and very few complaints arise from the production usage or performance.

I like Miro better for teacher directed lessons, and group discussions. I like Nearpod more if I have to include a number of different interactive aspects to lessons. I find Google Slides and Adobe to be more clunky and less user friendly than Kami generally. However, if I want to just make a document better, or I want to give my students independent work, or if I want them to complete homework than Kami is my go-to tool

• We needed AspenOne Supply Chain Management quickly back in 2013 since our biggest pain point was tracking movement of products and ability for multiple departments and locations to access the information to complete their responsibilities within the organization. Was able to successfully implement in three quarters for go-live.
• Since our initiation implementation our two major version upgrades did not go as smooth as we would like causing downtime of user access and the system does not have flexibility to run previous version while upgrading to new version. Upgrade path needs to improve to minimize downtime.
• The business reported quick ROI of better than expected results and the software paid for itself in under three years which beats projection.
• Centralized implementation makes disaster recovery (DR) configuration easier to manage.

• My desk has about 10% of the paperwork sitting on it than it used to have.
• I never have any arguments about whether a student turned something in or not.
• A student doesn't have to physically see me for me to help them with work. I can write and they can see what I write.
• Sharing documents with colleagues is now a breeze.
