At a time when banks are shedding IT roles by the dozen, it seems counter-intuitive that 83 per cent of the nation’s chief information officers should report they are confident about the future of their business to the extent that 45 per cent expect to hire IT staff in the first six months of the year. The question remains – is this a dead cat bounce?
Global Australian provider of enterprise asset management solutions and services, Mincom, has secured a “significant new agreement” with the second-largest US coal producer, Arch Coal, to provide the company with what Mincom says is a “new solution – Ellipse 8 - for enterprise work and asset management that helps boost return on assets and workforce performance.”
Mincom also announced that Arch Coal, which provides roughly 16 percent of North America’s entire coal supply, will implement the Mincom Critical Inventory Optimization {MCIO) solution across the company’s 11 mining complexes in North America. “Fully integrated with Mincom Ellipse, MCIO automatically adjusts inventory levels to ensure the availability of critical parts while reducing inventory costs,” Greg Clark, CEO of Mincom said.
Neil Novak, vice president of operation services at Arch Coal said the company selected Mincom for its “industry-leading enterprise asset management solution, which was designed specifically around the needs of mining, and leverages the company’s deep domain expertise from over 30 years of experience working with asset-intensive companies.”
And, David Hartley, chief information officer at Arch Coal said that with Mincom Ellipse 8, the company gained a “modern platform for enterprise asset management – with a Web-native architecture and lightweight footprint that can help us significantly lower IT costs and resource requirements. Mincom’s open-standards approach offers us the flexibility we require, supporting our broader IT strategy of building an enterprise infrastructure comprised of today’s leading enterprise solutions.”
“Arch Coal operates the largest single coal-mining complex in the world, and is one of the nation’s top coal producers – supplying the fuel for approximately 8 percent of the electricity generated across the United States. We’re pleased to make Mincom Ellipse 8, the most powerful release of our asset- and work-management solution in our company’s history, available to such a well-recognised industry leader across its enterprise.”
According to Mincom’s Greg Clark, currently 17 of the world’s top 20 mining companies use Mincom’s solutions to improve the efficiency and productivity of their operations.
