Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software from Australian-based Mincom Pty Ltd is now represented in Botswana by RPC Data Ltd, the largest software company in the country.
EAM software specifically targets "capital-intensive" organisations that depend on efficient use of high value equipment for successful operations. These typically include mines, power and water utilities, the transport sector and defence institutions, all of which require equipment and human resources to be maintained at a high state of readiness in order to achieve success.
EAM software is designed to help an organisation manage its assets by integrating information systems from many core processes, especially operations and maintenance, materials management and human resource management. Integration of all of these management systems to a financial accounting and control application that supports multiple currencies and multiple company structures is essential for competitive advantage.
The challenges these capital-intensive industries face to keep enormous amounts of stock, plant and machinery running smoothly and operating at peak efficiency has escalated to new highs. As the demand for effective utilisation of public money increases under intense scrutiny, every opportunity to reduce costs and optimise revenue potential is crucial in both the public and private sector.
Growing international trends to privatise utilities and transport carriers like airlines and railways demand increasingly efficient resource management. Mincom`s Ellipse EAM package was developed to specifically meet industry needs in the evolution of more efficient management in this key area. The company was founded in 1979 in Australia, and is now a leading global information technology provider with subsidiaries and customers in every corner of the globe. The application is architected in the latest multi-tier, Web based model, and is supported by complementary e-commerce and other Web-enabled business integration tools where required.
Partly because most installations are implemented on the world-leading relational database from Oracle Corporation, the only Certified Advantage Partner of Oracle in Botswana, RPC Data was a natural choice for a partnership in this region.
Paul Collins, Mincom SA Managing Director, says: "We have been very successful in Zimbabwe and Zambia for many years, and focused our efforts on completing successful projects rather than chasing new business. We intend to maintain this customer-oriented approach by partnering with RPC Data in Botswana, because of their technical ability, and their shared belief in project success."
