In 1988, the Company expanded its employee support services to include training in connection with one of the first major English language installations of SAP AG software in the world. During the 1990's, enterprise resource planning (ERP) represented the substantial market opportunity for the Company's services. DACG made ERP end- user support its primary focus. In 1999, revenue from clients implementing SAP software represented 90% of the Company's billed consulting revenue. By focusing on end-user support services, the Company has been successful in institutionalizing its knowledge base and has developed proprietary content and reference materials, the DA Foundation(TM), that is applied in developing customized solutions for each client. DACG has also developed DA Cornerstone(TM), the Company's methodology for delivering consistently high quality service to its clients.
