AB - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, November 3, 1999 SOFTWARE LAUNCH: Sylva Data Systems partners Bruce Martindale, Patrick McIntyre, Dave Cake and TERRACE STANDARD. Busingsss REvIEW Davinder Sangha have designed a payroll software system customized for silviculture contractors. The of- ficial launch happened Friday at the new offices of Web North, on Kalum St. above Tatem Press. City’s first software firm finds niche in customized payroll TERRACE now has its first real live software company with the official launch Friday of Sylva Data Sys- lems. The firm is the brain child of four partners — local silviculture contrac- tor Davinder Sangha, local program- mer Dave Cake and Web North Marketing partners Bruce Martindale and Patrick McIntryre. Sylva Data’s first main product is Rapid ~ a software package that's essentially a payroll and accounting system customized to the needs of silviculture contractors. Existing systems weren’t doing the job for Sangha, who needed to get a better system to manage the payroll of his silviculture firm, Ca- nymex Silviculture. “The payroll was killing me,” Sangha said, adding the accounting is complex because it, invelyes- not just hours worked but also number of trees planted or hectares brushed and spaced, He connected with Cake, who he knew from university, and together they started ta design a data base to fit Sangha’s needs. Other contractors heard by word of mouth that a better mousetrap had been invented and started asking about the program. “ft said I think we might have a chance to sell some packages here,” Sangha says. That's when they decided to bring in Web North’s Martindale and Me- Intyre, who reprogrammed the soft- ware to make it web-based, allowing remote use over the Internet. Sylva Data hasn’t sold any pro- duct yet, but they've got expressions of interest from at least a dozen B.C. silviculture firms so far. The prototype =, before the web _ ch interest.in ~ * Oey redesign — attracted mu UN Rk akg bor * the spring at the Western Silvicul- ture Association convention, The Internet-based design and its user-friendly strategy of starting with the needs of contractors enter- ing the data — rather than their ac- countants — puls the package ahead of older, clunkier competitors, said Martindale, Sylva Data’s president. And Martindale thinks the inno- vative silviculture package may be just the start of similar net-based ap- plications for all kinds of business conducted in remote camps or by multiple remote crews. They’re already exploring something similar for use in the oil patch, “It’s got lots of legs,” Martindale says. “Once we’re able to do this with one program, we can do il with other applications.” LiVe Musical TeletUBBieS “IMPERSO NATORS” Also featuring “BARN EY” Sponsored by the Kitimat Lions Club Admission - ‘8.4 Saturday, November 6, 1999 1 p.m. and 4 p.m, Phote with all 5 characters «10, HAMILTON, Frank Advance ilekets available at * Book Masters - 632-7323 * Karen's Ceramics - 632-2254 * The Bear Den - 632-6418 * Tha Nechako Theatre _NECHAKO THEATRE promoting growth and development a improving the care at our * KITIMAT . _ 632.2525 hospital interest, energy, experience controlling taxes The firm,, of , course,. has a webs pty acs Carey hee DEA . a site, I’swwwisylvadatd.com.
