A leaders Tale
Mathews Mathew is the CEO and the Managing Director of ePROMIS Solutions. He studied Master of Science from Annamalai University. He has possessed various skills including business intelligence and business process. He also holds industry knowledge in business development, system administration, marketing strategy, international trade and entrepreneurship. At the initial stage of his journey with the company, Mathews countered few challenges while implementing automation. While elaborating challenges he said, “In the early days, hardware was expensive and employees were comfortable with manual business processes. The initial challenges included educating businesses the need for automating businesses processes.” He also added, “When we entered the construction sector as a software provider the industry was booming. But standardizing business processes at construction companies was a significant challenge due to high dependency on manual processes and the organizational specific requirements. On top of that, the construction industry was very slow in adopting enterprise software compared to other sectors. We faced this challenge by incorporating industry specific global best practices with the organizational specific requirements. That approach succeeded in gaining trust and within a decade ePROMIS became the backbone of many leading construction companies.”
Evolving towards Excellence
ePROMIS initiated as a start-up company in the year 1981 with an objective to automate the basic accounting processes for companies. The company had first mover advantage as it entered the software business when only a few of the companies understood the need for automating their business processes. The company established as a reliable brand for DOS-based accounting solutions in Texas by the mid-80s. After desktop PCs became widespread in the business world, ePROMIS expanded its horizon to markets outside the USA.
In the early 90’s, with the construction industry booming due to the strong economic growth, ePROMIS realized the potential and opportunities in the construction sector and decided to come up with a solution to automate key construction project management processes. Currently, the company has over a million ERP users across the globe. Since its inception, ePROMIS Solutions has grown over 500 percent and had offices in 15 countries, including the USA, Canada, UK, UAE, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
