"One of our key priorities in our organization is to create a space for innovation, allowing our staff to focus their energies on the NEW instead of the USUAL." - Ashok Pavate, Chairman At Semac, we're willing to go the distance for the idea that inspires our success: innovation. In doing so, we are building an open corporate information structure that allows all our branches to access all the information and resources of Semac and its networks. This is a high-priority process called e-Enabling. Through this process, we are pursuing complementary initiatives to ensure that all of our people and processes have access to the full power of the Internet, as well as the skills, tools, and networks to use that power. Specialized multifunctional teams are driving this process, identifying Semac's best practices, incorporating them into standard platforms, and executing them throughout the organisation. IT is extending our reach We have long since demonstrated our ability to use Information Technology as a driving force in streamlining and making our operations more efficient. But we know that what we have accomplished in the past barely scratches the surface of what we can and must do in the future. This is the challenge and promise of our e-teams. Semac will leverage IT assets and skills into profitable new businesses. They will help transform Semac by extending its reach into areas that complement and add to its core business, investing in and attracting the best people, capitalizing on and extending our technology, and transforming good ideas into profitable businesses. Innovation Innovative practices and new technology maximize our awareness of environmental quality and economic success. We are constantly striving to improve on past performance by adapting to new and innovative materials and technology. This quest for improvement drives us to improve our project control and management systems. Our customers gain directly by our new management systems, which can result in considerable cost benefits in materials as well as in time to completion.
