48 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN MARCH 2020 AT A GLANCE MC SYSTEMS LTD. WHAT: A technology management company WHERE: Kingston, Jamaica WEBSITE: www.mcsystems.com B ack in 1973, well before computers were an essential component of every business, six individuals in Jamaica founded Management Control Systems (MC Systems) Ltd., and committed themselves to creating “the next big idea” in technology in order to solve critical business issues. They acquired the portfolio of an existing company, began to understand how software and hardware co-exist and how, together, they can be made to deliver value and generate efficiency for a company’s management. “That concept led to the name Management Control Systems because, back then, a computer was referred to as a system and it was more focused on internal controls,” recounts MC Systems’ General Manager, Dwayne Russell. The company’s first invention was BizPay Central.com, the first payroll service of MC Jamaica’s technology management company SYSTEMS LTD.
