Abu Dhabi National Industry Projects Company (ADNIP), a pioneer in regional industrial investment contributing to economic growth, has awarded a contract to 3i Infotech, global technology solutions and services provider, to implement its premier Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution - ORION Suite.

In its continuous efforts to adapt to the latest technology, ADNIP selected 3i Infotech’s ORION to enable smooth process integration and enterprise-wide visibility across operations, including subsidiaries. Specialist consultants from Business Enterprise Services (BES) were also involved in the evaluation process.

“We aim to improve and enhance Abu Dhabi’s industrial sector where we have a number of new projects in the pipeline and for this we were looking for an ERP solution to assist in streamlining our operations and consolidate information flow,” said Samir Ramadan, Chief Executive Officer, ADNIP

“We decided to go with 3i Infotech’s ORION suite as it met our diverse IT requirements. With ORION we hope to achieve effective control of our manufacturing processes and growth by enhancing productivity while reducing total cost of operations.”

“Backed by our deep business understanding  of the industries that ADNIP are present in, ORION will help ADNIP combine individualised customer and supplier management processes while maintaining transactional flexibility across operations,” said Kalpesh Desai, Chief Operating Officer – Europe, Middle East & Africa, 3i Infotech. “The group will also benefit from the solution’s integrated systems, ensuring centralized information access and scalability to adapt to its growing business needs.”

ORION manages the whole cycle of manufacturing from planning to execution. With the solution, jobs can now be prioritised based on market demands, to stay ahead of competition. While the system’s Capacity Locking functionality enhances productivity, additional benefits which ADNIP can gain from ORION are minute tracking of consumables, labourer’s expenses, overheads and resources.
 

“With ORION, ADNIP will not only gain critical advantage over competitors but also obtain a holistic view of their business while experiencing huge returns on investments,” said Ashish Dass, VP & Business Head -Enterprise Solutions, 3i Infotech (EMEA).
