MCI Consultants, a value-added reseller of Accpac Software, today announced that it had won several new clients involving the installation of Accpac Software and the services surrounding those implementations.
The new business for Accpac recently secured by MCI includes:
* Bihati Solutions, a telecommunications solution provider, specialising in rapid roll-out turnkey solutions with respect to network infrastructure worldwide. The initial project consisted of providing a project and job costing management system and involved the use of Accpac and Service Manager as an add-on module. The company is currently using QuickBooks and Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet and will convert to Accpac financials early next year.
* The Construction Education and Training Authority (Ceta). The accounts for Ceta were originally administered by a bureau running the DOS version of Accpac, but recently a decision was taken to bring this capability in-house following a restructuring of the organisation. In addition, there was a requirement to upgrade the system to a Windows environment. The rationale behind this move included the necessity to provide better controls and authorisation procedures. MCI's role included overseeing the complete process, including the conversion of all the data and the training for the upgraded system, together with the design of the workflow procedures for the required financial reports. According to Ceta, MCI provided the most comprehensive proposal, was economically attractive and the company was perceived as having the best basic understanding of both Ceta and the needs for this project.
* Worldwide Capital, a black-empowered financial services company established in 2000 that specialises in financial market trading, asset management, structured finance and structured products. This project included the upgrading the current Pastel system to Accpac and the provision and installation of Applix's TM1 business intelligence tool for reporting purposes.
"We have been involved with providing Accpac and associated value-added services for many years but it is always gratifying to 'win' new customers, especially when the decisions behind these 'wins' include the recognition of our intentions in providing total solutions that are oriented to the customer's requirements," commented Aliki Droussiotis, Director of MCI Consultants.
