By [Joseph Timmins](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/author/joseph-timmins) August 25, 2017 1 Minute Read I had a chance to sit with Tom Ferrucci of [Hope Global](http://www.hopeglobal.com/about/) recently.  Tom is their Vice President of Information Technology.  Hope Global is a sizable, well established Rhode Island manufacturing company.  ## **Hope Global and ERP** The company has a long history of textile manufacturing, with an automotive focus, which continues to this day.  ![Rhode Island Manufacturing ERP](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20and%20Social%20Media%20Images/Rhode%20Island%20Manufacturing.jpg?width=320&name=Rhode%20Island%20Manufacturing.jpg "Rhode Island Manufacturing ERP")   Because of worldwide demands for their product, manufacturing and distribution have been set up off shore to supplement their supply chain and to service customers.  But the RI plant remains the corporate center and nucleus of the operation.  To achieve this, Tom’s team deployed a sophisticated ERP system. This was a must and is fully in place.  It’s not possible to have worldwide operations without this technology that links various offices and plants around the globe.     In a very competitive age with rigid customer demands, worldwide manufacturing of automotive parts is no easy task.  Hope Global has risen to the occasion and thrived through great corporate focus while embracing technology.  That focus is proudly here in Rhode Island.   [![Critical Things ERP System Webinar ](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/420229/4a8d9da8-9643-4698-8f97-db3810995775.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/420229/4a8d9da8-9643-4698-8f97-db3810995775) #### Joseph Timmins Author ## Recommended For You [![Prepare for an ERP demo](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hubfs/Portrait%20of%20a%20serious%20businesswoman%20using%20laptop%20in%20office.jpeg)](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/prepare-for-an-erp-demonstration-like-a-good-paint-job-its-all-about-the-prep) 2 Min Read ### [Part 3 - Prepare for an ERP Demonstration](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/prepare-for-an-erp-demonstration-like-a-good-paint-job-its-all-about-the-prep) [Joseph Timmins April 6, 2023](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/author/joseph-timmins) [![How On-Premise Is Your Server?](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hubfs/Team%20of%20technicians%20using%20digital%20cable%20analyser%20on%20servers%20in%20large%20data%20center.jpeg)](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/how-on-premise-is-your-server) 1 Min Read ### [How On-Premise Is Your Server?](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/how-on-premise-is-your-server) [Joseph Timmins May 25, 2016](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/author/joseph-timmins) [![plan_develop_implement_maintain.jpg](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hubfs/Images/plan_develop_implement_maintain.jpg)](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/total-preventative-maintenance) [lean manufacturing](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/topic/lean-manufacturing) 1 Min Read ### [Total Preventative Maintenance](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/total-preventative-maintenance) [Joseph Timmins September 13, 2016](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog/author/joseph-timmins) ![logo-top](https://www.teamacuity.biz/hs-fs/hub/420229/file-1511926966.png) 125 Whipple Street Providence, Rhode Island 02908 [401.243.8480](tel:401-243-8480) 877.361.6534 [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com) [Follow us on Twitter](https://www.twitter.com) [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com) - [Home](https://www.teamacuity.biz/) - Software - [SAP Business One](https://www.teamacuity.biz/sap-business-one) - [SAP Business One and AWS](https://www.teamacuity.biz/sap-business-one-and-aws) - [Wisys Supply Chain Management](https://www.teamacuity.biz/wisys) - Services - [Success Methodology](https://www.teamacuity.biz/success-methodology) - [Consulting](https://www.teamacuity.biz/consulting) - [On-Going Support](https://www.teamacuity.biz/ongoing-support) - About - [About Acuity](https://www.teamacuity.biz/about-acuity) - [Careers](https://www.teamacuity.biz/careers) - [Resources](https://www.teamacuity.biz/resources-section) - [Resources](https://www.teamacuity.biz/resources-section) - [Blog](https://www.teamacuity.biz/blog) - [Contact](https://www.teamacuity.biz/contact-us)
