APU first two Years

BiTech  Implementation in 8 eight weeks.  Accounting was so surprised that we were done; they were not ready.  We delayed the actual go-live from the month of June to the month of August after the year end on June 30.

SRN Implementation in 13 weeks after a doing research for 10 weeks.  Still faster than the typical year to implement.
