We have learned a great deal about networking, database systems, and what it takes to make applications work.
Five-Year Sales Growth of 207% Places ABT 28th on This Year’s Regional List
Newtown Square PA , October 1, 2001 – ABT, Inc. has been named to the Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 50 Program for Eastern Pennsylvania, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area.

As our tagline says, we believe that ‘Together we can do anything.’
“The Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 50 recognizes and honors the fastest growing regional technology companies whose leaders have the vision and determination to beat the odds and build companies that contribute to the world with long-term solutions,” says Michael Purcell, Partner, Technology & Communications Practice, Deloitte & Touche.
ABT’s increase in revenues of 207 percent over the five-year period of 1996 to 2000 resulted in a 28th- place ranking overall in the Fast 50 for Eastern Pennsylvania.

Correct staffing and team make-up is as important to the success of your implementation as the technical infrastructure you install. It is imperative that you address staffing needs prior to the installation and implementation of PowerCAMPUS. SCT can assist with detailed position descriptions. A summary of the positions needed to ensure success is noted below, with the corresponding positions at SCT. Everyone at your institution must recognize that responsibilities will change as we go through this process. The descriptions below demonstrate the client team and the SCT PowerCAMPUS counterparts.
Fail to plan, plan to fail . . . The most important and sometimes overlooked step in the implementation of a new system or an additional module is the planning phase. Common sense tells us that successful implementations require a well thought out schedule documenting realistic timetables, resource requirements and accountability for tasks. Most importantly, the plan must consider your institution’s critical business needs.
