Maconomy Sweden today signed a major deal with Semcon Group. The deal includes a Maconomy Consulting Solution for 2,500 users in Sweden with a number of add-on modules.
Semcon Group decided to implement Maconomy’s ERP solution in the Swedish organisation to optimise its resources and streamline its business processes. Semcon Group’s new Maconomy solution is based on a number of standard modules and the HR and Electronic Invoice Management add-on modules. Additionally, Semcon Group purchased Maconomy’s Business Intelligence solution Maconomy Analytix and the resource management tool People Planner.
People Planner is an innovative tool that gives Semcon Group a full overview of the resource capacity of the organisation and advanced resource assignment capabilities for large as well as small projects. Semcon Group will start using the implemented Maconomy solution on January 1, 2009.
“This solution will help us realise major improvements that support our internal and business processes. We are very excited and really look forward to the implementation project,” says Group Business Controller Thomas Andrén, Semcon Group.
Semcon is a global technology development company with business at 40 sites on three continents; Asia, Europe and South America. The Group is active in product development and technical information and is organised into three business areas: Automotive R&D, Design & Development and Informatic. In addition to Semcon the Group consists of IVM Automotive and Caran. The Group has around 3,700 employees and annual sales of around SEK 3.3 billion pro forma in 2007. Semcon’s shares are listed on OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm under the SEMC ticker.
Maconomy’s business solution was selected after Semcon Group had evaluated different ERP solutions based on a wide range of functional and process-oriented criteria. The goal was to ensure that Semcon Group would acquire the optimal ERP solution for the Group’s particular needs. Maconomy demonstrated a deep knowledge of the workflows in a knowledge-intensive organisation and Maconomy’s ERP solution covered Semcon Group’s needs within G/L, Human Resources, project management, resource planning and Business Intelligence.
“The deal with Semcon Group proves that we are firmly positioned to help large corporations within our key customer segment ‘Professional Services Organisations’ optimise their workflows and support their continued growth internationally. Semcon Group is a household name in the Swedish engineering consulting industry and would not settle for anything less than the ideal ERP solution for their specific requirements,” says CEO Hugo Dorph, Maconomy.
