JMDS — Josh Machines Design Studio

Three capability pillars. One connected technology environment.

Josh Machines assists organisations in creating, developing, integrating, and maintaining the systems, processes, and technology necessary to ensure reliable business operations. Our service offerings can be categorised into three unique yet interconnected pillars.

Technology capabilities structured around how businesses operate.

Business systems do not function in isolation. Applications must reflect real processes. Specialised workflows must connect with existing platforms. Both require dependable infrastructure and continuing support. Select a service pillar to understand where Josh Machines can help.

Implement, strengthen and connect the applications that run the business.

The Josh Machines team assists in the development of organized systems of business application environments based on processes, responsibilities, controls, and reporting needs.

These include the development and enhancement of ERP, CRM, and process applications, along with integration and ongoing support necessary for practical application.

Representative capabilities

  • ERP and business platforms
  • CRM and process applications
  • Reporting and MIS
  • Approvals and operational controls
  • Role-based application environments
  • Systems integration
  • Application stabilisation
  • Lifecycle support

Typically relevant when

  • A new business application is required
  • An existing implementation is incomplete or underperforming
  • Departments operate through disconnected systems
  • Reporting depends on manual consolidation
  • Applications must be integrated and supported as one environment

Cross-pillar delivery

One business requirement may involve several technology layers.

Josh Machines does not force complex requirements into a single service category. We identify the dominant requirement and add only the supporting capabilities needed to create a complete and sustainable environment.

Implementing a Core Business System

Lead pillarBusiness Applications & Systems

A new ERP, CRM or process application is implemented around the organization’s workflows, controls and reporting needs.

Supporting capabilities may include
  • Specialised workflows or extensions through Enterprise Software
  • Integration with existing platforms
  • Cloud deployment and managed continuity

Replacing a Manual or Specialised Workflow

Lead pillarEnterprise Software & Intelligent Workflows

A purpose-built workflow or operational platform is created where standard software cannot support the full requirement.

Supporting capabilities may include
  • Integration with ERP, CRM or reporting systems
  • Role and data structures from existing business applications
  • Deployment, monitoring and support through Cloud and Managed Technology

Stabilising and Scaling an Existing Environment

Lead pillarDetermined through assessment

Existing applications, integrations and infrastructure are evaluated to identify the actual source of underperformance or scalability constraints.

Supporting capabilities may include
  • Application correction or modernisation
  • Missing workflow or integration layers
  • Infrastructure stabilisation and deployment discipline
  • Continuing managed support

Ideate · Integrate · Curate

Define clearly. Execute appropriately. Sustain deliberately.

The delivery model depends on the clarity of the requirement, the complexity of the environment and the client’s own implementation capability.

Define the requirement

Ideate

We assess the operating context, current environment, workflows, dependencies and implementation constraints before committing to the solution. Where required, this begins as a paid assessment or blueprinting engagement.

Execute through the right path

Integrate

BuildJosh Machines takes responsibility for implementation and delivery.
GovernJosh Machines provides architecture, programme oversight and quality control while another team executes.
EnableJosh Machines equips the client’s internal team with the documentation, structure and technical guidance required to deliver.
Sustain the environment

Curate

After deployment, Josh Machines may continue through support, optimisation, integration maintenance, managed infrastructure, enhancements and lifecycle governance.
