Although our most recent experience is with <i>SAP R3, </i>we have also worked with Oracle, PeopleSoft, Platinum and a range of less well-known systems. Our qualifications and expertise are in the management and implementation of financial systems, in accounting and in computer security. Accordingly, most of our work involves one or more of the following activities:</font></p> <ul> <li><u><font color="#0066CC" size="5"><a href="troubleshooting.htm">solving problems</a></font> </u><font color="#0066CC" size="5">with financial systems, processes, implementations or controls.</font></li> <li><font color="#0066CC" size="5">performing computer <u><a href="security%20reviews.htm">security reviews</a></u>.</font></li> <li><font color="#0066CC" size="5">designing and testing <u><a href="Systems%20Strategy.htm" style="color: #0000FF">business continuity plans</a></u><a href="Systems%20Strategy.htm" style="color: #0000FF">.</a></font></li> <li><font color="#0066CC" size="5">operating as <u><a href="Systems%20Strategy.htm" style="color: #0000FF">strategists</a></u> in the selection of financial systems.</font></li> <li><u><font color="#0066CC" size="5"><a href="project%20management.htm">project managing</a></font> </u><font color="#0066CC" size="5">financial systems implementation.</font></li> <li><font color="#0066CC" size="5">designing <u><a href="process%20reviews.htm">procedures</a></u> to manage a workflow, project, or task and <u>training your staff </u>in the "how and why" of the procedure we have designed.</font></li> </ul> <p><font size="5" color="#0066CC">And, more recently, we have become involved in the design and implementation intranets and web sites. With our background in systems security, we believe we are well placed to suggest ways to secure a site while at the same time implementing something which meets our clients needs and expectations.<br> </font></p> <p><font size="5" color="#0066CC">Most of our work involves larger systems, but we also solve problems with the way that people make use of programs such as Microsoft Excel and  Microsoft Access. We are quite familiar with the use of VBA for the automation of processes with these programs. We also help people with programs such as QuickBooks, point of sale software, and to a lesser extent, MYOB.</font></p> <p><font color="#0066CC" size="5">Sometimes we help people who have very old software - we have used quite a lot of it ourselves over the last twenty years and know the challenges which can be involved in deciphering older records. We have access to several older spreadsheet, word processing and database programs, and are able, in most cases, to import that data into more modern software.</font></p> <p><font color="#0066CC" size="5">We have links with people who design and trouble-shoot networks, and who work on computer forensics. One of those contacts has been very closely associated with the much-publicised "war-on-terror", recovering data from captured computer systems. </font><font color="#0000FF" size="5">  </font></p> <p><font color="#0066CC" size="5">We have processes which will allow us to read output from older software which for various reasons cannot be read by upgraded versions or other programs. And, although we do not become involved in data recovery itself, we are very familiar with the procedures involved, and the precautions which must be taken to prevent total loss in the event of a system failure. We have access to a number of specialists who are able to recover data under a range of circumstances. </font></p> <p><font size="5" color="#0066CC">Finally, we develop small to medium-sized websites and the structures which support them. We develop complex VBA-based spreadsheets and Microsoft Access-based resource systems for people with a particularly messy and repetitive calculation, or a complex set of lookup options - things like bonus schemes, plant operating models, complex data access models. Contact us for more information about these. </font></p> <p><font color="#0066CC" size="5">If you have a tricky problem,</font><font color="#0000FF" size="5"> <u>contact us</u> </font><font color="#0066CC" size="5">- we can probably help.</font></p> <p><img border="0" src="Contract%20Us-2004.gif" width="105" height="26"></p> <p><font color="#3366CC" size="5">e-mail:         <a href="mailto:geoff.s@geoffsvenson.com">geoff.s@geoffsvenson.com</a>    </font></p> <p><font color="#3366CC" size="5">telephone:  +61 2 9520 5105</font></p> <p><font color="#3366CC" size="5">fax:            +61 2 9548 2754</font></p> <p><font color="#3366CC" size="5">mail:           PO Box 39, Sutherland NSW 1499 Australia</font></p> <p><font color="#0000FF" size="5"><br> </font></p> <p>  </p> </body>
