Our professional Projects Team is the driving force behind the successful implementation of our Embrace ERP business solution. Our dedicated team consists of Project Managers, Business Analysts, Industry Specialists, Programmers, and Trainers.

Our track record shows that we understand best business practice in terms of delivery and implementation of solutions.
Planning is Everything
A well-planned implementation, where the business requirements and processes are clearly defined, understood and agreed to by all parties at the start of the project, is critical to the success of any project, no matter how big or small.
One of the most overlooked aspects of a technology initiative is managing the impact of and resistance to organisational change. Ideally, a change management program should be followed, to educate, prepare and motivate those impacted by the change. The key is to focus on 'why' this is being done. Why is your project critical to your organisation's mission, how does it fit into the overall strategic plan and how will it help you to be more successful?
