CASE STUDY
|
McPhillips (Wellington) Ltd
|
| McPhillips
moved to Prodigy in 1992 after a long search
to find the right applications software to run our business. After
the initial period of trials and tribulations with the setup and training
on Prodigy, McPhillips have no doubt that
the right decision was made. The savings in time, effort and manpower
have had a dramatic impact on our understanding of the roll that computer
systems now play in our everyday operations. |
| Why
Prodigy? It runs on the SCO Unix Platform
and we have found that this to be a very stable platform and seldom
have to suffer down time often associated with computer systems. Security
is excellent. The Contractors suite of software does exactly what
we require and the full integration of these modules into the Prodigy
accounting packaging saves McPhillips time and manpower in not having
to re-key information. The ease with which data in all ledgers is
entered, full and easily used audit trails and the ability to produce
management reports via report writers, downloads into excel or other
third party software. |
| Because
the owners and many of the Staff have worked with the systems for
many years, prior to McPhillips moving to Prodigy,
support of the product is not an issue. Regardless of issues reported,
thankfully very few, the response is excellent and comes from a very
dedicated support team. |
| McPhillips
employs 250 direct employees along with many Sub-Contractors. Typical
contracts range from between £200K to £3m. Financial control
of these contracts is down to our staff and Prodigy
software. |
