<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our mission is truly that simple and that straightforward… and it’s been in place and provided our direction for over twenty years. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">We’re passionate about software.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">At SACI, we think of working with you as a partnership, and for any partnership to work well and succeed, there needs to be a number of shared beliefs. That said, we’d like to explain our foundation in terms of “profit, process and personality.”</span></span></p>
<p><span id="more-267"></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"> </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small"><strong>Business Management: Profit</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">We understand that businesses are in business to make a profit, and that “profit” can be defined in different ways. It may be fiscal and measured by your bottom line, or it may be more intangible and measured by how well you meet your company’s mission, goals and objectives. It may also be a combination of the two.</span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">However you define profit, our goal is to help you realize it, and the best way we’ve found to do that is to share in it through strategic planning. We want to understand your mission, goals and objectives before we begin. While you may be anxious to get started, we’ve found that taking extra time at the start to really learn your business saves time and money in the long run. We provide the most value to clients who bring us in during the research and planning stages of their ERP implementation.</span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">At Smith and Allen Consulting, Inc., we firmly believe that every project </span></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small"><em>must</em></span></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small"> provide a return on your investment. Before we even discuss implementation, we’ll work with you to calculate the investment returns of our proposed solutions, so you’ll be confident that you’re making a sound business decision.</span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"> </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small"><strong>Business Operations: Process</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">The SACI staff is passionate about continuous improvement and finding innovations that support it. While we’re in the technology business, we know that business management software is only a tool. That is, it’s a means to an end, and not the end itself. We’ve found that many of our competitors, and some clients, miss this important point. </span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">We believe that success, and ultimately your profitability, only come from continuously evaluating and improving your processes. Our most successful clients are the ones who really embrace that mindset. It may begin with a single entry of data and end with a paperless workflow. Although that sounds simple, there may be many operational changes needed in order to achieve it. Change is an integral part of ERP system implementations. </span></span> </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">Our mantra is: “You cannot improve what you do not measure.” Creating measurements creates improvements. Improvements create profitability. We believe it because we’ve seen it over and over in our two decades in business.</span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"> </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small"><strong>Human Resources: Personality</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">No business management software can run without people, and even the most automated systems still have people invested in the process. We know that successful organizations are the ones that</span></span> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">respect their employees and understand that their human resources are really their greatest asset.</span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">Investing the time and resources to train employees always provides a positive return. By helping your staff to become more productive, you boost morale. When morale is high, customer service and satisfaction increase as well. Those increases quickly migrate to your bottom line. </span></span> </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">Our goal is not simply to make a sale Instead, our decisions are made based on what’s right for our clients… rather than on what’s most profitable for SACI.</span></span></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small">Very simply, we’re in the business software consulting business because we’re passionate about using technology to improve the business process. We want to explore how technology can improve your business, your profitability, your customer satisfaction and employee morale. We have worked hard to assemble a team of professionals and clients who embrace these shared beliefs allowing us to live our <a href="http://saci.com/wp/mission-statement">mission statement</a>.  </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With our many years of experience comes a wealth of knowledge regarding best practices… best practices that you can leverage for your organization’s immediate benefit.<span id="more-52"></span></p>
