The Enterprise Systems Center

Lehigh University

The ESC Difference

             The Enterprise Systems Center (ESC) has improved bottom line performance for over 200 businesses throughout the Delaware, Lehigh and Susquehanna Valleys - and well beyond. More than an academic institution, the ESC is a "Center of Excellence" at Lehigh University's Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering Department. The ESC is an "in-service" organization providing customized solutions to resolve business issues. The ESC's success is measured by your success.

             The ESC's legacy of success spans a broad range of businesses, from Fortune 500 companies like Kraft and Lucent to lesser known small/medium sized organizations - even start up companies. The ESC works with industries in many and varied SIC codes. The scope of projects extends from strategic planning to tactical solutions. The ESC makes technology work by focusing on people, processes and technologies.

but also who the ESC is.
