Maestro Technologies and Murray Skerrett Bring Best-in-Class Construction Management Solutions to Maritime Market

MONTREAL, January 28, 2011 — Maestro Technologies, a leading provider of ERP software are solutions specifically designed for the construction industry and Murray, Skerrett, a team of professionals with a solid reputation for providing high quality application software solutions and professional services for Construction, Trade and Service contractors, are bringing their power-house partnership to the Canadian Maritime Provinces.

In the 5 short months that they have been working together, Maestro and MSA have brought high performance accounting and management solutions to three (3) of Canada’s major construction companies across the East coast.

Steve Eagles, the president of Newco Construction based in Moncton, NB, worked with professionals at MSA to evaluate the Maestro* solution. “The integration of project management, issue management and estimating/quotations as well as the intuitive, flexible reporting provides us with a solid platform to address our current challenges and support our future growth and profitability,” said Mr. Eagles.

Metro Burner Service is an independent company based in Halifax, NS, specializing in the sale, installation, and repair of industrial and commercial heating systems, with many skilled technicians in the area of Natural Gas, Oil and Plumbing. The key managers of Metro Burner were never completely satisfied with their previous system, and called upon the team at MSA to present them with alternative solutions more attuned to their needs. “The very first time we tested the Maestro* solution we knew it offered the right combination of ease of use, reporting and analysis flexibility to address our challenges as a growing company,” said Mr. Boudreau, GM and Service Manager of Metro Burner Service. “Add to that the local service and support of Murray, Skerrett and this solution was custom-made for Metro Burner.”
Cabco Communications, a supplier of structured cabling, telecommunications and network solutions based in Halifax, NS, used a Jonas solution for more than 16 years. In fact, it was MSA who initially introduced them to the solution back in 1994. But when President Craig Meredith had the opportunity to review the Maestro* solution, he was impressed. “The ease of use, the depth of the product, as well as the ease and power of reporting can’t be matched,” said Mr. Meredith. “The Cube reporting is awesome.”

“Cabco was our very first customer,” said Beth Skerrett, President and General Manager at Murray Skerrett.”We are very pleased to be able to continue our long standing relationship with Craig and the Cabco team on our very first Maestro* installation. The real reward is the value our customers place in our vision to help them grow and improve their operations. Most of our clients are shocked at how far software has advanced, and how little their legacy “accounting” software is addressing their operational issues. We don’t sell software, we sell solutions, and the Maestro* product solves all of the problems that were inherent and impossible to correct in the legacy software our clients relied on.

ERP systems are quickly becoming essential tools for construction companies to improve responsiveness, strengthen supply chain partnerships, enhance organizational flexibility, improve decision making capabilities and reduce project timelines and costs. Incorporating best-of-breed technologies, modular scalability, granular reporting capabilities and a straight-forward, user-friendly interface, Maestro’s solutions provide field and back-office personnel with access to critical real-time data anytime, anywhere, to ensure informed and timely business decisions.
