|
Ultimus BPM Suite Has Been Chosen to Optimize Core Processes and Achieve Operational Excellence at Kerneos, the Reference Supplier of Calcium Aluminates |
Cary, N.C. — November 26, 2007 — Ultimus, the #1 provider of Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow software and solutions, with more than 1,700 customers worldwide, is proud to announce that Kerneos, an international company supplying high technology calcium aluminate binders, has deployed the Ultimus BPM Suite to enhance operational efficiencies across multiple facilities throughout the world.
Kerneos offers to its customers from the Refractory and Steel industries, the Building Chemistry and Wastewater industries as well as other Technical Industries a full range of high technology calcium aluminate binders produced and controlled within a quality management system that is certified according to ISO 9001 standard requirements. Combining the benefits of a global industrial presence with a world wide supply chain network, Kerneos provides its customers with tailored services including dedicated local technical support, as well as reliable and rapid supply on all continents. Thus, Kerneos sought a human-centric BPM platform that could improve workflow across set locations, complement Kerneos’ existing EAI system and be agile enough to adapt to the company’s ever-changing business processes and industrial environment.
After evaluating seven major BPM vendors Kerneos chose the Ultimus BPM Suite for several distinguishing factors, including the platform’s multilingual capabilities, ease of implementation, excellent professional services support and ability to integrate with other IT systems like ERP, Asset Maintenance Management system and EAI.
“As a global organization, we needed a BPM solution that could tie multiple locations together and manage our business processes from end-to-end,” said Philippe Esposito, IT Director of Kerneos. “We have large ambitions in terms of processes implementation, but we are confident with our choice of Ultimus.”
Kerneos has taken a phased approach to the roll out of its processes. With the help of Ultimus’ Professional Services team, the first set of processes, including work permit system, has already been placed into production. Processes to follow in 2007 and 2008 include, for example, purchase requests, incident management and packaging creation.
“Ultimus’ scalable process backbone has been selected by a majority of top manufacturers to perform a wide range of mission-critical processes, from package design and creation and inventory and order management to product distribution, warehousing, shipping and logistics,” said Rick Thompson, Chief Marketing Officer for Ultimus. “We look forward to partnering with Kerneos as the company expands the Ultimus deployment throughout their entire organization.”
