United Steel Company (SULB), the Gulf region’s first fully integrated steel sections and beams producer, has announced that it has signed an agreement with IT major TCS for the implementation of SAP software and business warehousing solutions for its integrated steel mill.
“We are pleased to be working with TCS, a global leader in software and business solutions, on the implementation of SAP solutions for SULB,” CEO of SULB, Mohammed Al-Jabr, said.
“Having recently appointed TCS, we have moved swiftly along, kicking off the project, which we expect to complete over the coming eight months,” he added.
SULB and TCS held a meeting on May 21 to commence the project. The amount of the deal was not revealed.
SAP will be implemented for Finance/Costing, Materials Management, Sales & Distribution, Production Planning, Quality Management, Plant Maintenance and HR/Payroll along with SAP’s business intelligence tools, he said.
SULB is a joint venture between Bahrain-based Foulath, the region’s leading steel investment vehicle and holding company (owning 51 per cent), and Japan’s Yamato Kogyo, a leading global sections and beams producer (owning 49 per cent).
