ENOC's
GTS takes AAAID contract
Posted: 20 May 2004
A major contract to supply an ERP solution to the Khartoum-headquartered
Arab Authority for Agricultural Investment and Development (AAAID)
has gone to Global Technology Services (GTS), the I.T. subsidiary
of Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) LLC.
The contract was handled on behalf of AAAID by consultants KPMG
South Africa, which defined the requirements, evaluated suitable
solutions and selected the product and vendor. GTS won the deal
in the face of stiff international competition from South African,
Australian and European suppliers.
GTS put forward a Sage ERP solution which included 100 user software
licences and the development of a loan management module.
“The brand image and corporate support of ENOC along with
GTS’ own experience in Sage ERP implementation projects in
Sudan for AARAK, the PEPSI bottler, were instrumental in winning
this contract,” said Hussain Sultan, Group Chief Executive
and Board Member, ENOC.
“This is a prestigious win for the Group since AAAID has
ambitious plans to deploy more I.T. solutions such as document management
systems and GIS-based precision farming, where GTS could play a
vital role.”
AAAID was set up 28 years ago as an independent financial agricultural
investment institution with 12 Arab states in the association. Currently
it has 16 members dedicated to developing agricultural resources,
maximizing food production, increasing the exchange of agricultural
projects between Arab nations as well as the promotion, financing
and implementation of agricultural projects, research and studies.
AAAID currently is operating under a 10-year strategic plan until
2012 to enhance its activities.
