Construction company Amec has bought core software from a
UK company because enterprise resource planning systems from
companies such as SAP could not support its business
processes.
Amec expects to spend as little as one third of what it would have
to invest in ERP from a top-five player by buying Coins
software.
It has replaced legacy bespoke and Conax and Prospero software with
a single system using Coins' financial module, which supports 600
users.
Bruce Turner, project manager for the implementation, said SAP
could not accommodate UK-specific industry practices.
The first stages of the system will go live early next year.
