Leading Oil and Gas Contractor in the Arabian Gulf to Implement Epicor(R) Across Entire Organization

Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Lamprell,
a leading oil and gas contractor in the Arabian Gulf that is listed
on the London Stock Exchange, is going to implement the Epicor 9
next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution across
its entire organization. Epicor will replace a number of bespoke
and off-the-shelf applications that Lamprell currently uses for its
procurement, warehousing, manufacturing and financial operations.
"Because we use a mixture of applications it's currently
difficult and time consuming to prepare accurate business reports,
with data often being out-of-date by the time the report is
finished," said Dan Wibberley, group commercial manager for
Lamprell. "We need access to live and up-to-date business data from
across the entire operations in order to make effective management
decisions. Running a mixture of products doesn't support a growing
international business and we knew we needed an ERP solution to
improve data visibility and control."
Lamprell turned to an independent vendor evaluation firm to help
them put together a detailed request for information document, and
subsequently demonstration scripts, as a help for evaluating
various solutions. "This meant that we had vendors demonstrating
the exact same functionality so that we could compare like for
like," said Wibberley. "After reviewing several solutions,
including those from leading tier one vendors, we selected Epicor
because it was clearly the best fit for our environment and our
methods of operation."
Wibberley explained, "We found the Epicor team knowledgeable and
professional throughout the entire evaluation process; they
answered all our questions with ease. When they demonstrated how to
operate the system it looked easy, as opposed to some of the other
systems we saw that looked difficult to operate. As we don't have
any previous experience with ERP, this was very important to us.
Epicor contains all of our industry requirements plus a selection
of 'nice to have' features, all within the same package."
Lamprell is planning to implement Epicor across its entire
organization, which comprises several companies and facilities in
the United Arab Emirates and a facility in Thailand. To start with,
the system will have just over 150 concurrent users, building up to
more than 300.
By implementing Epicor Lamprell expects to achieve better
visibility across the entire organization. "We already run an
effective business but we feel that now is the time to fine tune
operations and with Epicor's help we will be able to find all those
smaller areas where we can improve efficiency to help create a
truly streamlined organization," concluded Wibberley.
"Lamprell joins a group of leading energy businesses that use
Epicor to successfully manage their operations worldwide," said
Basil Daniells, senior director for Epicor in MEA, Turkey and
India. "These businesses need to be agile to enable them to quickly
adapt to changes, control processes, and reduce costs, in order to
meet demanding market challenges. With its powerful reporting and
dashboard capabilities, integrated end-to-end functionality, and
modern look and feel, Epicor should be on every energy company's
short list."
