Praeda Management Systems Inc. Case Re Executive Summary Praeda Management System Inc. (PMSI) is faced with pressing operational and financial issues. PMSI’s ongoing cash flow problem, coupled with its highly leveraged position at $2.5 million of debt relative to $350,000 of annual revenue, calls for immediate action by newly acquired CEO Paul Paoletto and the existing management team.
