Background

About Frits Erasmus

I studied accounting and completed my auditor's articles. Worked as Financial Manager and started up an Internal Audit division for a manufacturing company. I entered the consulting world in 1994 as an ERP consultant to implement AXS-One (Computron) ERP Software and performed the duties of a Project Manager. Between 1998 and 2008 worked on AXS-One projects in the USA, Netherlands, UK, and South Africa Some of these companies are trading 24/7 across six continents. I was one of only two consultants to gradually take over support previously done by eight consultants. The monthly reports proved that we provided better support with faster turnaround times. Completed PRINCE2 exams in 2005 In 2007 I started to focus on Project Management in ERP environments: Upgrades, Automation, Migrations, and Interfaces. In January 2015 I joined Meridium as a Senior Project Manager - the main role player in Asset Performance Management software. In 2016, Meridium was acquired by GE Digital. I have been able to save big companies a lot of money while being an ERP consultant and due to my Financial and Audit Background would be able to spot areas where savings can be realized. By offering to engage in discussions and write reports I was able to achieve these savings. Specialties: Project Management Software development, Implementation of ERP Accounting systems full life cycle, interfaces, and process automation. My hobbies are- Woodwork, Solar Systems, IoT (RPi, Arduino, MQTT, Node-RED, MySQL & Grafana)
