Utick Furniture Manufacturing Company Goes Live with
Microsoft Dynamics NAV manufacturing solution
Sydney,
New South Wales – 1 July 2007
Utick was set up over
40 years ago by the Bryant family (now in its 3rd
generation in the business) as a high quality wood
working factory servicing the Australian Building
and Furniture Industries. Over the decades the
company established a wide reputation for its
standards and ability to reliably meet a very wide
range of client's requirements.
The company's policy
has always been to keep abreast of all innovations
in technique and technology as they become
available.
Recently Utick
completed its most comprehensive update of plant by
fully computerising its operation using the latest
Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Numeric
Control (CNC), and Computer Aided Manufacturing
(CAM) equipment available in the world today. As
part of this update Utick chose
Provida
to implement MS
Dynamics NAV to manage the complete ERP/MRP
process throughout their manufacturing facility in
South Strathfield replacing the existing System 77/IMOS
and Seibel software.
The introduction of MS
Dynamics NAV provides the Utick team with a system
to handle complex processes with a very large
inventory and extensive use of BOM/Kits. This means
they are better equipped to meet demanding
production deadlines and have far greater financial
control of the business.

Aboriginal Resource &
Development Services Chooses Sage Accpac from Provida
Darwin, Northern
Territory – 22 March 2007
Northern Territory based Aboriginal Resource &
Development Services (ARDS) has chosen Provida to implement Sage Accpac
ERP 500 in its Darwin Head Office. Provida continued its
impressive track record in being selected by Not for Profit
organisations to implement Sage Accpac.
Provida in conjunction with ARDS is perfecting an
Australian first by using a Sage Accpac Rapid Implementation
Methodology.
Neil Leek FCPA, ARDS Business Manager said "Provida came
up with the idea of a Rapid Implementation Strategy to meet our
budgetary constraints and also to resolve the issue of our remote
location. The Rapid Implementation Strategy means that I and my team
will have to do some extra work initially but we don't mind as this will
help us learn the system faster, which is great because we need to be as
self sufficient as possible being based in the Northern Territory."
Since its
incorporation in 1973, ARDS has worked at the 'cutting edge' of
community development. The organisation began as the community
development arm of the Northern Regional Council of Congress (NRCC). The
NRCC is the Aboriginal and Islander Presbytery of the Northern Synod of
the Uniting Church in Australia. Established in Darwin, ARDS has since
grown to establish offices in Nhulunbuy and Galiwinku in the North-East
Arnhem Land region.
Over the years, ARDS
has been involved in education, language work, community work and
archiving of Yolngu culture. In the area of education, ARDS provides
cross cultural education in language in the areas of health, economics,
law and governance. Over the last ten years, health education has become
a major focus as the health crisis has worsened throughout the
north-east Arnhem Land region. Seminars and workshops are also held to
educate people from the dominant culture about Yolngu culture.

Provida Wins with NSW Lotteries
Sydney, New South Wales – 31 March, 2006
ERP
software firm, Provida Pty Ltd has snared a significant contract with
NSW State Lotteries to replace its ageing accounting software with a new
state of the art financial management solution from Sage ACCPAC. The
deal, worth an undisclosed sum will see Provida deploy Sage ACCPAC ERP
500 in the Lotteries Homebush head office. NSW Lotteries chose Sage ACCPAC
ERP after undertaking a rigorous selection process. The tender had
initially attracted around 12 respondents, with the final cut comprising
3 different solutions including Microsoft Navision and Microsoft Great
Plains.
Part of the
winning solution was Provida’s ground breaking Document Management
System (DMS) which would allow NSW State Lotteries to attach images of
paper documents to the relevant Sage ACCPAC transaction thereby greatly
improving auditing and document finding capabilities. The DMS solution
Provida will deliver is unique in that it converts the scanned documents
to binary format for storage in the Microsoft SQL database along side
the Sage ACCPAC transactions. This process significantly reduces the
storage space required on the server.
Managing
Director of Provida, Steven Rider CPA said “I knew we had the best of
breed financial management software solution that would last NSW
Lotteries at least 10 years. We provide the best after sales support in
the industry so when Lotteries selected Provida amongst 12 competing
firms; I felt they made absolutely the right choice.”
Provida
will perform a 2-3 week pre-implementation diagnostic phase and then
implementation will begin in earnest ready for a 1 July “go-live”.
