"CMC not only brought considerable Project Management skills to our Sales Force Automation (SFA) Project, they also brought evaluation process, tools and a business acumen which allowed us to deliver a significantly better solution to the business.

Following on from our SFA Project, CMC brought similar advantages to project managing our move to a new site. At all times they were able to think outside the square and use their extensive knowledge and contacts to put us in touch with specialists in other areas such as Warehouse Design."

"Corporate Express engaged the services of CMC in August 2010 to manage the rollout of the Manhattan warehouse management system to 3 locations across Australia (Port Melbourne, Richlands and Kewdale). This was a very complex project and was also a critical dependency for the subsequent rollout of SAP in August 2011.

CMC's Project Manager, Phil Sandhu did an excellent job. His attention to detail, clear communication skills and ability to manage resources through the various project phases was highly valued by our organisation. The project was completed as per the agreed timeline and budget. We would highly recommend CMC to other companies embarking on a major project rollout".

“I have worked with Combined Management Consultants and their senior consulting team on more than three (3) major projects. On each project, they have consistently exceeded my expectations. Not only did they supply expertise in the Manhattan software but they also had expertise and an in-depth and broad knowledge of Technology, Industry and Methodologies covering multiple fields. They added immense benefit to the PMO at Corporate Express and our ability in delivering on $10 million worth of projects on time and within budget.

CMC’s Senior Project Managers all had exceptional communication and leadership skills and their flexibility, dedication, hard work and creative solutions assisted us in meeting our aggressive implementation schedules. Their ability to adapt to our approach and to a diverse team of individuals and personalities all contributed to the success of our projects”.

"We engaged CMC to assist us with a business process analysis and requirements definition for a replacement ERP system for our business. We found CMC's Evaluation and Selection process to be pragmatic and their templates have been integral in allowing us a "fast start" to our project. CMC's use of Business Scenarios was excellent and when it came to the Vendor demonstrations we were able to quickly see which solution would work for us. Their consultants have relevant industry knowledge in Manufacturing and Supply Chain which allowed them to be successful and reliable representatives of our business when dealing with potential vendors."

"Eastern Nomad required a skilled consultant to implement a new web based ERP application across the business.

"When Fantastic was looking to team up with strategic consulting partner we were focused on ensuring that the organisation was completely independent and that they had an excellent knowledge of Supply Chain, Retail and Warehouse Management business systems and processes. CMC was selected because they understood our business and could demonstrate their capability to deliver complex projects.  We have found their consulting and project management staff to be diligent and highly professional, and as such have engaged CMC for a number of projects including the development of a Strategic Information Systems Plan (SISP) focusing on process improvement and IT services for our multiple brands. We then utilised CMC's Vendor and System Evaluation and Selection Methodology as the foundation for our Retail ERP and POS evaluation process. CMC has assisted us greatly in facilitating the right solution for our business. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as their core principles are based on integrity, trust and doing the right thing by their clients".

CMC presented a clear outline of the structure and direction for the project which provided me with the necessary focus. CMC's advice was sound and well reasoned and they provided a level of support which was encouraging and invaluable. The process of progressively reviewing and appraising our work suited my needs and commitments perfectly and provided me with the confidence to move on to the next stage.

The Program Manager we utilised was instrumental in developing our overarching plan and then pushing our management team to execute this with the necessary resource commitment.
