Artec Computer Systems today announced that Ampaglas had contracted Artec Computer Systems to sanitise, centralise and update its IT infrastructure and systems, which is utilised by some 700 users.
"When we recently acquired MODEC, a similar business to ourselves, we inherited different and conflicting software systems," commented Roy Wilson, Financial Director of Ampaglas. "It was necessary for us to centralise and sanitise this situation, although we were very sceptical as to whether we could achieve our overall objectives re our consolidated system requirements.
"Artec undertook the complete re-design and subsequent installation of the new infrastructure for the newly combined nationwide operation and also introduced a VOIP capability. Additionally, the standardisation on Impact as the main application systems was undertaken by one of Syspro`s business partners," continued Wilson.
"The project was very professionally handled and we have had a fully operational system for several months following a surprisingly rapid and very successful implementation. We are confident that Artec will be able to continue to handle our on-going needs for the foreseeable future," concluded Wilson.
"Undertaking this type of work is now second nature to us," added Andrew Tucker, Founder and CEO of Artec Computer Systems. "We not only appreciate the need for undertaking a rationalisation and transformation process, but are able to quickly implement the necessary infrastructure that will enable and support the changes that are so necessary for the ongoing well-being of an organisation and its future success."
