Lead Architect

John Nicol was one of the early developers at Macola and worked at Macola for over 15 years. Mr. Nicol began his illustrious tenure at Macola as head of support and documentation for the Operator 10 product line Line which is still the leading Municipality Water and Wastewater Plant software product in the industry today. Macola sold Operator 10 in the early 90's and Mr. Nicol then moved on to become a Manufacturing Consultant for Progression and became APICS certified. As a product consultant he coordinated and managed many on-site implementations of full Progression manufacturing systems.

John then moved on to working on the Quality Assurance team for testing and approving all Macola processes. However, John is best know as the manager of the development team that produced all of the Macola Visual Tool applications such as the Bill of Resource for Macola ES and the Visual Bill Builder in Progression. He was also the key developer of the new MRP system for Macola ES which was a complete re-write in transact SQL and led to a significant boost in regen performance over the Progression version.  

Mr. Nicol joined WiSys in 2005 and is the primary developer of the WiSys Business Object Library, the SF Work Center Reporting, and the Pick/Pack module. While at Macola he developed object models for inventory, order entry, bill of material and Macola security.
