Overview

Our senior technical consultant Sam Paakki started working on MFG/PRO version 7.2 in 1993 for one of Australia's largest breweries.

Since then he has continued to provide techincal expertise both directly and indirectly (through various QAD offices) to companies that run MFG/PRO in the Asia Pacific region.

Roger Ee recently joined our team as an applications consultant. Roger is a CPA and brings with him 5 years of experience with MFG/PRO and over 10 years of experience in manufacturing based companies.

MFG/PRO Technical
Consulting

Our primary goal is to help companies that have already invested in MFG/PRO to realise maximum value from their current and future IT systems.

It is a strong principle of Varacom's that no modifications be made to the core software, to facilitate the ease of future upgrades to MFG/PRO.

However, there are many bolt-on enhancements that can be made, which do not jeapordise upgradability, but do offer added value.

Service Offerings

  • Development of custom reports and inquiries
  • Integration to BI (Business Intelligence) systems
  • Interfaces to 3rd party applications & systems
  • Design, development & implementation of bolt-on or stand alone Progress-based systems
  • Web enablement of pre-existing & new Progress-based systems
  • Automated batch processing with spooled output
  • On-site & tele-commutting as required
  • Project managment & in-house technical mentoring and training

If you'd like to arrange an obligation free meeting with one of our consultants to discuss the possibilities, please e-mail us or fill out the contact request form.

MFG/PRO Applications
Consulting

Our applications and technical consultants are members of APICS (Austral-Asia Production and Inventory Control Socienty) and/or CPA's (Certified Practicing Accountants) and therefore can offer professional advice and guidance with respect to running MFG/PRO in Australia.

Some of our consultants are multi-lingual and have consulted in various Asian countries such as Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and China.

Progress Database
Performance Tuning

With the aid of our internally developed tool VPMon, we can automatically gather various performance measures from your systems over an appropriate period of time (such as a normal working week).

Once we have a quantitative measure of "real" as opposed to perceived system performance, we can make and implement any necessary recommendations using our proven performance tuning methodology.

We're that confident that we can achieve a measurable performance improvement that we offer a money back guarantee if our implemented changes fail.

Unix & NT Server
Administration

Server system administration and performance tuning is often over-looked to the detriment of the user community.

Our consultants have the experience with Progress, various Unix & NT operating systems and hardware architectures so they can diagnose and rectify "problems with the computer system".

Most providers can only offer true expertise for one component of the complete system and often end up pointing the finger elsewhere...

We also source and install servers, printers, personal computers, tape drives, hard drives and networking componentry. In this area we like to focus on quality products that will perform reliably and minimise frustration.
