EMiR Software

EMiR, the market-leading integrated business management system, for the electro-mechanical industry.

EMiR Software is developed around Core Modules and a Series of Extension. The Job Management and its associated Modules are coloured orange in the block below.

Solutions in I.T. are here to help advise you and provide the best I.T. solution for your business. We usually only provide these services to our existing EMiR customers. View our services to see how we can help your business.

Your EMiR system will come with helpdesk and technical support free for 60 days and then via a recurring annual contract, to ensure you have help available if you need it and that your system is kept in fully working order.

Whether you run a small business or a large corporate organisation you have to give consideration to your computer network. Like all pieces of capital expenditure which depreciate over time, you have to maintain the asset, ensuring that it is fit for purpose and that takes skilled resource. You can, of course have the expense of replacing equipment on a regular basis to ensure that failures are minimised, or you have an alternative…

EMiR Maintenance contracts come in 3 flavours: Bronze, Silver and Gold. They all provide excellent value for money and ensure you are able to add any of the newly developed features for EMiR to your system for a flat fee - so you never need to go through a formal 'upgrade' process again. Simply put, your system is always up-to-date with the best functionality EMiR has to offer!

DECiR is our five step proven process for successfully getting EMiR up and running in your business!

Remote Backup and Data Storage is a vital component of any IT system and we thoroughly recommend you use our EMiR Backup solution to keep all your data [not just EMiR data] safe and secure with minimal effort on your part!

Every EMiR installation has a project management plan and we can extend this to include any IT projects you wish to undertake.

AEMT Conference 2025

10.06.25 - EMiR to host Succession Planning Session

Excited to Announce Our Succession Planning Panel at the

2025 AEMT (The Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades) Conference!

Succession planning is one of the most important—and often overlooked—topics in the life of any electro-mechanical business. Whether you’re planning for the long-term future, considering a sale, or exploring alternative ownership models, the right strategy can protect your legacy and empower the next generation.

I’m delighted to be joining a panel of industry leaders to share real-world experiences and answer your questions on succession at this year’s AEMT Conference.

What to Expect:
We’ll be covering key approaches to succession—from outright sale to employee ownership and integration into larger groups. It’s an opportunity to learn from those who’ve been through it, hear what worked (and what didn’t), and engage in an open discussion with fellow AEMT members.

Meet the Panel:

Gary Downes - EMiR Software provided by Solutions in I.T.
After 30+ years in the sector and completing the sale of EMiR Software in 2024, I’ll be reflecting on what succession really means for a business, the emotional and practical sides of letting go, and what I learned from the experience.

Shaun Sutton - Central Group (UK)
Shaun will share his experience of helping EDC transition into an Employee Ownership Trust. Safeguarding the company’s culture, protecting jobs, and giving staff a real stake in its future.

Jack Dunning – Integrated Power Services, Newcastle
Jack was a key figure in the acquisition of Houghton International by IPS and will offer insight into preparing a business for sale, the role of financial planning, and working with international buyers.

George Knowlton – Knowlton & Newman Ltd. A Rubix Group Company
George will reflect on life after acquisition, offering a candid view of integrating into a larger group while maintaining operational identity and values.

Don’t miss this session—whether you’re actively planning succession or want some practical insight into future-proofing your business.
