MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT


UXC awarded TasNetworks ERP project to supply and integrate SAP


UXC Limited is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the contract to supply, implement, integrate and support the TasNetworks ERP transformation project through its SAP solutions business, UXC Oxygen.


The project is one of the most significant transformational investments undertaken since the merger between Aurora's distribution network (the poles and wires) and Transend's network (the towers and lines) which formed the TasNetworks business in July 2014. The solution is based on leveraging the core implementation of a SAP ERP platform.


The initial value of this contract will depend on the SAP modules to be implemented but is expected to be in excess of $25m revenue, in addition to ongoing support & licence fees.


Managing Director of UXC, Mr Cris Nicolli, said: 'UXC is proud to have been selected by TasNetworks to assist with the improvement and transformation of their business. The combination of an established track record of successful delivery in Tasmania, the depth of capability in the UXC Oxygen SAP solutions team, the good cultural fit and the strong alignment with SAP as a partner were key differentiators in being awarded the contract.'


'Additionally, our references, proven capability and the quality of solution and team we committed to the project has again reinforced UXC's reputation as a trusted and client centric organisation that can be relied upon to support complex and large transformational projects. UXC continues to demonstrate its ability to support large scale clients and to partner with them to deliver high quality outcomes.'


'The selection of UXC by TasNetworks to supply and implement the SAP solution recognises the strong leadership position by our UXC Oxygen business in the SAP market and again reinforces the overall strength of UXC in the ERP market within Australia and New Zealand. We appreciate the confidence that the Leadership Team at TasNetworks have placed in UXC to partner with them and deliver this business transformational program of work'.


Lance Balcombe, CEO of TasNetworks commented: 'The combination of UXC and SAP provided a compelling solution for TasNetworks. We were looking for a very solid, dependable, highly capable partner with a strong supportive approach and we found that in UXC and the SAP solution they have proposed.'


The work on this project will start immediately.
