Ø       Accpac for DOS implementation in South Africa in 1997. This was a challenging project as it was my first major project and also Mobil Oil South Africa was a new company being setup without any system in place. I did the business analysis, business procedures and training.

 

Ø       Y2K project in 1998. I was the key person in the testing of Accpac For DOS (A4D) & Accpac for Windows (A4W) Year 2000 Compliancy. This was done for all Mobil affiliates worldwide. I got an award from Mobil Africa because the project was a success.

 

Ø       A4W implementation in Gabon in 1999. This was a major crucial project as it was the first installation without a business analyst and first installation of A4W running on Windows NT (all other installations were on Novell).
