MCI Consultants today announced it has extended the networking and communications services it has been offering to the Sentula Mining Group, formerly known as Scharrig Mining, to other companies within the group, such as Benicon Opencast Mining, Sentula Coal, Scharrighuisen Opencast Mining, and JEF Drill and Blast. MCI has been an IT partner to Sentula, formerly Scharrig Mining, since the early 90s.
“We have been very impressed with the historical services from MCI and have confidence in their ability to provide the outsourcing of IT services to the group in the future,” commented Marthinus de Jager, CFO of Sentula Mining Services. “As a direct result of this and the strong and positive relationship that has been created between the two organisations, we have extended our service contracts with MCI and also extended their reach into other parts of the group.”
“We are delighted that we have been able to extend our relationship with Sentula Mining,” added Aliki Droussiotis, Director of MCI Consultants. “Our latest activities include linking all the branches onto the same network using VPNs and WANs, so that everyone can use one information system; setting up a centralised mail server at a remote hosting site and the setting up of a domain for each site in order to enforce IT policies.”
Sentula Mining is a holding company for the group that consists of six major operating subsidiaries involved in mining contractual services. The provision of mining services remains the core of Sentula's business, although the group also holds a number of coal mining investments.
