The faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at Stellenbosch University partnered with Entelect to revamp their placement process. The project was to design and develop a software application that supports the faculty in the management of student placements at training facilities as part of their clinical training. The solution extends to full curriculum management to accurately track resource utilisation and enable cost recovery from state funding.

Comment by Charles Pritchard, CEO of Entelect: We often hear horror stories about companies appointing a software partner and, many millions of rands later, deadlines are missed and excuses are made for non-delivery. I have personally seen it happen with companies that have invested in good business plans, only to be stumped by a software project gone wrong. With big blue-chip companies who have comprehensive support structures, the same can happen: project deadlines keep getting missed, often with unrecoverable costs to the business. So how does one go about choosing the right partner to ensure delivery in software projects?
