The
consulting activity was born out of a determination to improve the success of the finance and commercial systems being sold
in the early nineties. Phillip Hunter saw that systems could meet the requirements but sometimes failed for lack of competent
implementation. He has considerable skill in matching the business need with software functionality and achieving this
through the many aspects needed for successful use.
Starting
the business doing work for other organisations, he soon became too busy working directly for clients. He gained a group of
colleagues in a loose association to help with additional specific technical tasks or where more resource was required.
In
2001 he joined Comino, forming a new subsidiary, Comino Techflow, to introduce a project management package, Workbench from
New Zealand, into the Housing Development market. This was combined with a consulting
team which grew into pure performance improvement consultancy specialising in Local Government work. The Business Intelligence
team built up a range of OLAP products which are still being sold successfully by Comino. Comino's take over by Civica signalled
a change of direction for Phillip back into consulting.
The
same group of associates continue to provide consulting resulting in a wide set of skills and resource. This includes
expertise in the Professional Advantage products, adding functionality and ease of use to Sun systems.
Procurement
systems are evolving as an expanding area of activity. We will continue to grow into the future.
