KMI Designs Chooses
TOBI, Total Office Business Intelligence, to Consolidate and Share Project Information
ATLANTA – March 12, 2007 – XenLogic, the business software and services
provider for project-focused companies, today announced that KMI Designs
(www.kmidesigns.com) has selected TOBI, the innovative business
software suite designed for project-focused companies, to manage their accounting, customer and project
information.
KMI Designs approached XenLogic to help them improve their ability to collaborate on projects and manage
their internal business information. TOBI allowed KMI Designs to cost effectively consolidate all of
their business information in one integrated system and improve their efficiency in managing multiple
projects.
“Delivering projects on time and within budget is critical to our customers and our company philosophy,”
said Melita McCaskill, KMI’s principal owner. “Different projects have different needs, and we wanted
something that would allow us to share changing information with all of our managers and contractors. TOBI
delivered the necessary platform for us to share information so we can better collaborate on projects and handle
issues before they affect project outcomes.”
Prior to using TOBI, KMI spent a lot of time trying to synchronize their information across locations. Now,
KMI is able to automatically synchronize and share critical business information between their Atlanta and
Charlotte offices. Each location maintains its own TOBI database, and using TOBI’s Data Harvester, the EDI
utility, these databases communicate consistently. And, because their data is also stored locally, it is
available when KMI’s employees are traveling or on a site without an internet connection.
“One of the key attributes of the TOBI system that was attractive to us is was our ability to access
information whether we were online or offline,” said Melita. “With TOBI, our business is able to continue
even if we are without an internet connection.”
As a small design firm, KMI Designs wanted a solution that was scalable and affordable for them to use. KMI
has been experiencing significant growth recently, taking on several new projects in a short period of
time, which has dramatically increased the amount of information they have to manage.
TOBI is able to scale with KMI as they grow, so they will never have to replace the system.
“We needed a solution that could be installed quickly and could grow with our organization over time,”
added Melita. “TOBI made sense because we were up and running in less than a week, and as we take on
more projects, adding users is simple and the need for IT support is minimal.”
