The ROCCI (Roodepoort Chamber of Commerce and Industry) business of the Year gala event took place on 7 November at Silverstar Casino. With 23 years of unsurpassed growth, the award ceremony has become a well respected and much anticipated event in the area. The main purpose of the awards is to recognise and honour businesses whose hard work and innovation have created successful business ventures. The panel of judges scrutinised each nominee's business principles, future in the industry, market place, leadership qualities and community support.

In the category of Medium Business of the Year, Educos Vision was awarded first place. Congratulations to all the Bees at Educos for their hard work and dedication.  Liz Bath was also awarded first place as Business Women of the year!! (Contagrats to Liz!!!)

The Awards Ceremony provided the culmination of an exciting and dynamic year at Educos with streamlining of business, new employees and expansion (Training, Outsourcing).

Anglo Gold Health Services implemented Vision in 1999. They finalised the setup and implementation of Payroll and Leave as the first phase of the project. The HR modules were implemented shortly thereafter.

With the conversion to the Web-enabled version of Vision in 
2002 they streamlined the administration of their payroll functions by assigning the accountability to the individual hospital and paypoint sites across multiple regions.

AngloGold Ashanti purchased Vision in 2005, for their operations in Ghana. They have 7000 employees included in the first phase of this implementation.

Gensec Properties had a very expensive multinational HR and payroll system. Due to the high cost of implementation, they had not made use of the HR system. The system was also inflexible, not allowing them to adapt it to their company changes. They purchased Vision in 2003; the 
benefits are that it is a more financially viable solution and that it was implemented in a relatively short timeframe. The flexibility has supported them more readily with their frequent company restructuring.

After using Vision for a few years, they have experienced hassle-free tax year-end processes. Says Henry Van Der Bank, "No system has ever provided me with such a smooth IRP5 process. The quality of the checks and reports is excellent".
