In 2019 DAK Americas implemented OESuite APM to support Asset Performance Management across its manufacturing operations. The deployment centered on instituting an enterprise asset strategy capability using OESuite APM, aligning reliability planning and maintenance strategy documentation with operational maintenance processes.
The implementation focused on core Asset Performance Management functionality, including asset strategy definition, performance analytics for critical equipment, and maintenance strategy management to formalize inspection and work planning routines. Configuration emphasized a centralized strategy library and structured reliability workflows to enable consistent asset care and decision support for engineering and maintenance teams.
Operational scope covered maintenance, reliability engineering, and plant operations groups within DAK Americas, using OESuite APM as the authoritative source for asset strategy and performance records.

In 2016, DAK Americas implemented Kofax ReadSoft Process Director for SAP for its accounts payable organization. This Document Management deployment was aimed at addressing AP throughput and accuracy issues after acquisitions increased invoice volume to about 100,000 per year while headcount remained constrained.
The Kofax ReadSoft Process Director for SAP implementation centralized invoice capture and automated data extraction, using designated ReadSoft folders for folder based ingestion and template standardization. The solution was configured to apply optical character recognition and three way match logic against purchase orders and goods receipts, and to post verified invoices directly into SAP.
The implementation integrated with the company SAP ERP to validate PO numbers, match against goods receipt records and post transactions into the finance ledger. Invoices were received at DAK Americas corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, with 75 percent arriving by email and the remainder scanned and uploaded via FTP by an outsourced scanning provider. Operational coverage was the centralized AP department that had previously been organized into siloed specialist teams for raw materials, utilities and freight invoices.
Workflow automation replaced manual exception routing and provided an image backed approval trail with role based visibility so stakeholders can see document status and ownership. The AP organization moved toward a cross trained staffing model, with some users focused on incoming capture and others on template optimization and exception workflow management.
With Kofax ReadSoft Process Director for SAP in place, DAK Americas moved toward a more nimble, cross trained AP department. Kofax ReadSoft Process Director for SAP automatically captures invoice data, matches that data against the PO and goods receipt, verifies it in SAP, forwards matched invoices for payment approval, and routes discrepancies into an image backed exception workflow that shows stakeholders where documents are in the process and who is responsible for the next action.

In 2017, DAK Americas deployed Microsoft Azure Cloud Services to host its corporate website. Microsoft Azure Cloud Services serves as Application Hosting and Computing Services for the public-facing web presence and associated application workloads for the U.S.-based manufacturer.
The implementation centers on cloud-based web hosting and scalable compute, using platform services and managed infrastructure to deliver website content. Microsoft Azure Cloud Services provides object storage for site assets, platform-managed compute and load balancing, autoscaling and content delivery capabilities typical of Application Hosting and Computing Services, supporting web application lifecycle and operational resilience.
Operational ownership resides with DAK Americas IT and web operations teams, focused on availability, content updates and monitoring of the site. Governance practices documented with the deployment align to cloud service management, access control and patching processes common in manufacturing enterprise IT environments.
