Emaar industries & Investments and subsidiaries 'go live'

The automated business processes replaces the traditional organisational information flow with an integrated solution in which organisational structure, strategy, process and technology are closely aligned.

"ERP implementation is a high-risk process as it involves different departments within the organisation. The investment is substantial considering the solution and equipment purchase, training provided and time spent. We followed a strict and structured implementation to speed up system deployment and the returns on investment," said Mr Jalal Jazzar, Chief Financial Officer, EII.

EII has deployed the Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution through Columbus IT. The company aims to enhance productivity, flexibility and customer responsiveness; enable new growth strategies; eliminate costs and inefficiencies; expand knowledge of key business data; and extend business using the Internet.

"Apart from automating EII, we have succeeded in 'going live' with five of our subsidiaries in less than a year. This is primarily due to our selection of Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution, assigning the adequate implementation team, setting the right target and executing an intensive pilot programme. Our subsidiaries are already seeing improvements on various levels, specifically on the operational level. This move comes as part of a series of moves towards increasing operational visibility across all EII operations," he added.
