Eversendai possesses an impressive record of never delaying a single project to date no matter how complex it is, a feat it has maintained for over two decades. Since its humble beginnings, it now has four cutting-edge fabrication factories in Rawang, Selangor; Sharjah, United Arab Emirates; Al Qusasis Industrial Area, Dubai and Doha, Qatar. It is also in the process of establishing another fabrication factory in Chennai, India. These factories have a combined output of over 120,000 tons of fabricated steel per annum.
With a staff strength of over 6000 in offices and projects across Malaysia, Middle East and South East Asia, Eversendai has experienced enormous growth and consequently required a system that could integrate and consolidate its operations. Eversendai consequently looked to Oracle for a customized solution to meet its operational needs.
“With extensive expansions over the recent past, our business has outgrown its previous system thus requiring a world-class solution,” said Dato’ A. K. Nathan, Executive Chairman and Group Managing Director, Eversendai. “Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne will provide us with just that as it helps to improve process efficiency, helps enable us to optimize resources more effectively and ultimately helps us in meeting our business objectives. With the new system in place, our operational view will be greatly streamlined. We will effectively improve our cross-entity management and this will give us the solution our organization has looking for.”
