Software and services provider, Mincom, has signed an enterprise-wide deal with international mining and natural resources company, Cliffs Natural Resources which will see the mining company standardise its global operations on Mincom's enterprise asset management solution, Ellipse to help boost return on assets and workforce performance.

Cliffs will also implement the Mincom Critical Inventory Optimisation (MCIO) analytics solution across the company's worldwide mining complexes, fully integrated with Mincom Ellipse. The MCIO automatically adjusts inventory levels to ensure the availability of critical parts while reducing inventory costs.

And, the company has also initiated a field-enablement project using Mincom Mobility, a suite of end-to-end, fully integrated mobile applications that automates field force operations using mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, PDAs, and other devices. 

'Cliffs is partnering with Mincom because of its commitment to providing clients with world-class support and state-of-the-art enterprise asset management software that is optimised for the mining industry. The company's solutions are rooted in its mining heritage, and embed a vast amount of domain expertise.  Compared to broader, one-size-fits-all EAM software packages, Mincom's solutions uniquely support the needs of our mining business,' said Ron Aderhold, Cliffs' CIO.
