Companies for 2003 by "Start" magazine. The publication’s July 2003
awards issue, which profiles the top technology providers in
manufacturing, honors software and hardware vendors that have
developed innovative applications or products for the manufacturing
industry. Start's editorial team judged nearly 100 entries, and
designated 30 manufacturing solution providers as "Hot." According to

giants, Best Software continues to hold its own with more than a dozen
products designed to help companies manage growth as they move up the
industry ladder.”

| According to the
National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors website (www.naw.org),
wholesaler-distributors achieved sales of $2.8
trillion in 2002 -- a 2% increase over 2001. The industry is a robust
and vibrant part of the country's economy, growing at an annual rate
of 4.8% over the past decade. Wholesale distribution contributes 7%
of U.S. national income and accounts for one in every 20 jobs. Distributors have a huge variety of specific business needs, and require flexible software systems to manage their businesses. From purchasing to on-time delivery to customer service to increasing sales (and much more), wholesale distributors demand software and consulting resources that know their businesses. MCG consultants speak the language of distributors, having implemented over 150 distribution systems in the company's thirteen-year history. A Operations Director from a large sports-equipment distributor raved about her experience with MCG's experts, saying, "They absolutely helped us from a business consulting standpoint. [The relationship with MCG] has been a partnership that has enabled us to grow."

| Q. How do I know
if I've outgrown my current software system? A. There are several clues that you may be pushing the limits of your current system. Below are just a few examples: Your business needs change or expand. For example, you acquire a company that does something different, or you add locations. You have performance issues (the system is increasingly slow, for example), or you surpass quantifiable limits in the system (you need more inventory items than your system permits, for example) You require system integration capability, because you have several disparate systems that need to share data. For a comprehensive technology evaluation, contact Macdonald Consulting Group's business system experts today. |
