"Data Systems' broad
capabilities and sensitivity to our needs earned our trust from the beginning
and has led to a long term, satisfying partnership. We now rely on Data
Systems for ALL of our computer support needs... They're like having our own MIS
department without the overhead."
Ron Cole, Controller
Eureka Water Company
As one of the largest suppliers of Ozarka drinking water, this long-term client's primary need is for accounting software, but they also have unique requirements that are not a good fit for off-the-shelf systems. The answer was a combination of off-the-shelf and custom components integrated into a seamless solution.
Data Systems first implemented an off-the-shelf accounting system to act as the core data source. We provided minimal customization of the accounting system to provide custom reporting and data manipulation. All of this was done with off-the-shelf components to minimize start up costs.
Then, after determining that Eureka's needs were indeed being met by the new accounting system, we turned our focus to the processes involved. As is almost always the case with off-the-shelf software, the processes were labor-intensive. Data Systems evaluated how to save the company from having to offset its continued growth with a substantial increase in office staff and computer hardware.
The solution was to integrate a variety of small applications, directly with the core accounting data. These applications streamlined data entry tasks and provided capabilities beyond those available from the off-the-shelf accounting system. This greatly reduced manpower requirements, which allowed Eureka to grow with no increase in indirect costs.
Today, if it's got a keyboard and it's at
Eureka, we handle it. Eureka Water is the example of what can
happen with Data Systems on your team. Eureka has enjoyed phenomenal growth in revenue during the time they have worked with Data Systems. While we can't take credit for that, we can take credit for the fact that their indirect staff is virtually the same as it was when we started with them. In fact, the minimal growth that they have had in indirect staff has been to accommodate the needs for responding to increased customer phone calls.

"We really appreciate
Data Systems' honesty, integrity and willingness to put our needs and best
interests first. They seem to have figured out that we all win that way.
We're happy... and they're happy. I guess we're what you would call a
satisfied customer."

President
Associated Insurance Agents, Inc.
Associated Insurance Agents, Inc. is one of the
city's premier and oldest insurance agencies. They've been around since
1919 but of course began using computers in their business a bit more recently
than that. AIA uses
off-the-shelf applications designed for the insurance industry so AIA
is primarily a network support client. However, as with most companies,
they were suffering the inefficiencies inherent with canned
applications. No problem. We wrote a bit of quick and inexpensive
code and turned what was a complicated, two day per month process that reported
incorrect data into a simple, five minute process that reports correct data.
You know what else? Jim and AIA thinks the
same way we do. They also believe in quality customer service. That's
why AIA handles Data Systems' insurance needs. Yes! We most
certainly recommend Jim and AIA for your own needs. They are truly a
pleasure to work with.

Interstate Trucker, Ltd. is a law firm here in
Oklahoma City, but not your typical law firm. Interstate Trucker's lawyers represent
thousands of clients in 48 states. Because of this, Interstate relies heavily on their computers

systems. That's why we're available 24/7 to handle any problem that
arises. But more importantly,
we're working with Interstate to eliminate the possibility of downtime both
