Core Competency: A Passion for Excellence

ASSYST has always endeavored to leverage the use of new and emerging technologies to help achieve our client's business objectives. ASSYSTs early engagements consisted of supporting legacy mainframe systems, while helping clients move into client / server technologies ASSYST started its ERP practice in 1994 by initially implementing H/R systems. Since then we have implemented and supported over 150 ERP implementations in all areas including Financial Accounting, Distribution, Human Resources and Payroll systems. Our experience in ERP includes business process engineering, data mapping and conversion of legacy data to new relational databases, building new interfaces, performing upgrades and providing operations and maintenance support. This was followed up with a foray into Business Intelligence implementation and support to our ERP clients ASSYST has been providing Workforce Collaboration solutions to clients since 2002. Today we have completed and continue to support over 100 implementations worldwide in the Commercial and Government sectors. We started our Portfolio Management practice in 2007 and have one of the largest footprints in this practice for a company of our size. We support a number of large Fortune 500 as well as Federal clients in not just implementing but providing operations and maintenance of their PPM software. In late 2007, we started our Enterprise 2.0 practice with our office in Silicon Valley. A number of large clients are currently leveraging our expertise in this space to implement social networking within their enterprise as well as with their partners and clients. Our Unified Communication solutions practice grew as a result of our acquisition of Leading Consultants Inc which had over 10 years of experience in providing voice and data integration services to organizations. Today traditional IVR solutions that were dependent on hardware and software from specific vendors are being fast replaced by software running on Intel and other open source platforms providing scalability and capabilities at a fraction of the cost
