Notes:
- Accugraph, El Paso, TexasAccugraph is a $20 million manufacturer of network information systems for the telecommunications industry and enterprise data managers. The company employs 150 people. After an implementation period of nine weeks, Accugraph's system went live in July 1995 with financial accounting, controlling and asset management. Accugraph expects to be up on sales and distribution and materials management early in the first quarter of 1997. "We chose to focus first on our most mission-critical processes; our legacy system for providing financial data was no longer adequate to manage our growth. Hence, the first phase of our R/3 implementation addressed financial, controlling and asset management. Working closely with SAP and ICS Deloitte, we began implementation in early May 1995 and were live on R/3 in early July of that year — 59 days from the start of the project to first live transaction."
