Case Study: Ramtron International achieves real-time production visibility and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance with Tensoft FSM

Fabless Company Ensures Solid Growth Path with Flexible, Industry-Targeted ERP System

Ramtron International Corp., a fabless memory chip company, was struggling to keep up with rapid growth using traditional ERP software. As a public company, it needed a manufacturing and accounting solution built for fabless semiconductor operations, including support for the industry’s inverted bill-of-materials model, better reporting, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

Ramtron implemented Tensoft Fabless Semiconductor Management (FSM) for supply chain and manufacturing, paired with Microsoft Dynamics GP for financials and compliance reporting. With Tensoft, Ramtron gained real-time visibility into inventory, production, costing, and yields, improved sales forecasting and long-range planning, and tightened security for audit needs; the company also said it was better prepared to support its roughly 30% compounded revenue growth.
