In 1988 Rob started his own company in South Africa offering computer purchasers and potential owners advice on the best computerized solution for their requirements. His company also offered training and ongoing support to these clients.

In 1989 Rob specialized, and focused on assisting clients using ACCPAC accounting software and all associated products. Rob also offered these clients support on Novell Netware and Microsoft NT operating systems.

Rob has, over the past 17 years, installed and supported many ACCPAC installations ranging from single user PCs to wide area networks with over 150 ACCPAC users. These installations have included the "core" financial modules and a vast array of 3rd party and add-on modules. Rob also has considerable experience in the writing of custom reports.

His success in ACCPAC consulting has been in the belief that to offer a client a comprehensive service you should get to know and understand your client's business operations. This allows you to integrate their computer and business systems and maximize their smooth operation.

Rob is a Certified Consultant for both ACCPAC Plus (for DOS) and Sage Accpac ERP.

Since 1997 Rob has focused on the Sage Accpac ERP Series of products. He has undertaken many successful Sage Accpac ERP installations that have included conversion of data from ACCPAC Plus and other Accounting software systems. Some of these installations have been "multi company" and quite complex in their requirements, and include companies such as:

• VanCity Credit Union
• BC Hydro
• Accenture Business Services for Utilities
• Canadian Securities Registration Systems
