IntegrateIT - Innovative business solutions
IntegrateIT was formed in 2001 in the province of Ontario, Canada. The company was formed in response to a market demand for unbiased ERP software selection guidance and consulting services. From inception through 2003 IntegrateIT provided these services to mid-to-large sized businesses. These services were primarily delivered by Michael J. Carlo, a veteran ERP design specialist with an extensive background in manufacturing and distribution.
From 1995 through 2001 Michael acted as President of Profit Solutions International Inc. (PSI), a mid-tier ERP software vendor that he found with two other IT partners. PSI was a turnkey ERP provider that focused on customized ERP software and IT services for the manufacturing industry. Mike’s major duties included heading up the sales, marketing, and implementation efforts of PSI. After much success Mike parted ways with PSI in 2001, citing long-term differences of opinion and launched IntegrateIT in September, 2001.
A major part of his work at PSI was to research competing ERP solutions providers to gain an in-depth understanding of their functional strengths and weaknesses. This research placed IntegrateIT with a unique knowledge of the ERP marketplace, enabling IntegrateIT to readily understand the business types and recommend the ERP packages that were best suited to the needs of each client.
PSI and IntegrateIT rejoined forces to undertake the task of re-inventing ERP products and their implementation, a direction that solved their earlier differences. During 2003/04 IntegrateIT worked closely with a group of visionary minds to analyze the research of the previous two years and convert this into a product plan that would address the core issues (high cost, complicated installation, reliance on consultants for implementation) identified with the current ERP marketplace. The ABACI SME Pack, created in conjunction with PSI, is the product of these brainstorming sessions. During 2004 trials were conducted to ensure that the product produced the desired effects before it entered the market in 3rd quarter 2004.
Early successes in late 2004/early 2005 culminated in the October 2005 feature article “From Spreadsheets to State of the Art” in the technology section of the Globe and Mail, Canada’s national newspaper. This article documented the successes achieved by the ABACI SME Pack methodology at an implementation at Springland Manufacturing, a Manitoba-based manufacturer of farm equipment. Total installed cost at Springland was $11,200 for a fully-functional ERP system with full manufacturing, accounting, and bar-coded shop floor data collection.
Today, IntegrateIT focuses exclusively on the sales, distribution, implementation and support of ERP123, a product that they feel is the evolution of the ABACI SME Pack. The corporate goal is to develop a worldwide sales network for ERP123 and redefine the ERP landscape in the process.
