Data Care (Uganda) Limited has launched ProMISE ERP, an in-house developed computing system that swiftly digitalizes and automates various business processes. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) refers to types of software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities such as accounting, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain operations.

Speaking to guests to mark the company’s 16^th anniversary, Patrick Kagenda, the Managing Director said, “It has been a worthwhile journey. We are happy to launch ProMISE3.0, one of our key milestones, but without our partners, mentors and dedicated staff members, we would not have hit this milestone. We are extremely grateful for your continued support. We remain committed to serving Ugandans and the region with world class solutions.”

Data Care has become a leading ICT consulting company that has been at the forefront of providing services for many government and Non-Government projects in Uganda and the East African region at large.

Among the guests were Dr. Ham Mukasa Mulira, the Senior Presidential Advisor on ICT; Collin Babirukamu, the NITA – U Director of E – Government Services; Ms. Winnie Lawoko-Olwe, the Director Domestic Investment Division – Uganda Investment Authority and Rosemary Mutyabule, the Director, Business Development Services – Enterprise Uganda.

Being certified under Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001); Information Security Management Systems (ISO 27001) and AGILE methodology has helped Data Care to progressively acquire the technical capabilities necessary to deliver quality products and maintain customer confidence.

The company has exported ProMISe ERP to various countries that include South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen and Iraq. Other markets are Malawi, Botswana, and Lesotho. Data Care also offers Monitoring and Evaluation Systems as well as customized Mobile Applications.

Systems that Data Care Uganda have digitalized include the Orphans and Vulnerable Management Information System (OVCMIS), National Food and Agriculture Statistics System (NFASS), Integration of the e-Portal for the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), and Uganda Electronic Single Window (UESW), among others.

Shem Kakembo, the Managing Director of EFC Uganda Limited and also the Chairman Board of Directors expressed appreciated partners, clients and the Data Care team. He encouraged them to dominate the market with ProMISe ERP.

In addition, he requested the government to look into reducing the cost of internet access. This would lower the threshold when advertising for services on domestically developed products.

Dr. Mukasa-Mulira congratulated the company adding that, “It makes me very proud to know that we have locally made solutions and innovations such as ProMISE ERP in place to enhance business efficiency and economic development.”

He also thanked those organizations that showed a willingness to trust and believe in quality local products.
