Comment
It was back in 1985 that Dr John Ellis, Exel’s founder and current chairman, established Exel Computer Systems having recognised a distinct market need for capacity planning systems whilst working on research projects at PERA. This led to the development of the first version of EFACS, a Unix and Informix based software solution for capacity planning and manufacturing. Over the last 30 years EFACS has grown from a capacity planning and production solution into a fully integrated comprehensive business solution, incorporating full ERP, Financials, CRM, Field Service, Document Management, Business Intelligence, Workflow and Mobile Applications. Exel’s longevity can be attributed to the emphasis they place on continued product development and understanding real business needs through continuous support of, and close partnerships with, their clients. Exel would like to thank all of their customers, suppliers, partners and employees for their continued support. Here’s to the next 30 years!
