Echlin Technology Services

Princeton is located in Hoffman Estates, IL. and specializes in the distribution of customized machine fittings. Princeton has been growing consistently over the past 10 years and required a more robust accounting and supply chain solution. In the past, Princeton was using Peachtree for their accounting and a homegrown database for a supply chain solution. ETS and Princeton worked together to determine an integrated solution that would fit their budget and allow for future growth.

Through a partnership with Microsoft, ETS recommended Microsoft Small Business Manager 7.0. This integrated a solution that provided a streamlined accounting package along with a robust supply chain feature that perfectly fit Princeton’s needs without any customization.

ETS designed and implemented a Windows infrastructure that provided data and network security along with a clear path for growth. A Windows 2000 server with domain features and Windows 2000 workstations for all users was also implemented.  ETS also designed and installed an Outlook email system that connected to a remotely-hosted email server.

Once the infrastructure was in place, ETS configured Microsoft Small Business Manager and then migrated all data from Peachtree and the homegrown database into Microsoft SBM. The networking and integrated software was designed and implemented in a matter of four weeks.
