"We offer training and mentoring for the design and implementation of conceptual models used to provide a complete understanding of the enterprise.

By implementing MEGA and receiving the expertise of these consultants, we were able to increase our organizational understanding of these cross-functional domains."
According to Janick Brunet, sales compensation manager for Microcell, a wholly owned subsidiary of Microcell Telecommunications Inc., "MEGA and ADESTIN demonstrated that they understood our needs. We selected the MEGA Software Suite because it has a strong repository and database, it is compatible with Microcell's existing intranet system, and it includes multi-lingual capabilities. In addition, each of MEGA Software Suite's operations is procedure independent. At the same time, ADESTIN consultants are well versed in MEGA's products and did an excellent job of supporting our project implementation."
