Contract with Południowy Koncern węglowy a Tauron Group company

Asseco Poland has concluded an agreement with Południowy Koncern Węglowy to provide SAP system maintenance and development services. The service provider has been selected by PKW through a public tender. The agreement shall be effective for a period of 12 months and will be completed in November 2013.

Południowy Koncern Węglowy is a mining enterprise of the Tauron Group. It composed of two hard coal mining plants, namely Sobieski Mining Plant in Jaworzno and Janina Mining Plant in Libiąż. The annual coal production of PKW reaches 5 million tons.

PKW, as the first company in its industry, decided to implement a coal sales system based on an ERP-class solution. The implementation partner was Asseco Poland, which adopted this system to the specific needs of the industry, as well as integrated it with the enterprise's sales automation devices, portal for trading partners, and its customer communication system. One of the key functionalities developed by Asseco, as part of the implementation work, was a multi-tier weight measurement application capable of working with different types of scales.

"Our greatest advantage in this implementation tender was the ability to create composite applications to support the logic of PKW's unique business processes, which are not handled by standard ERP applications. We are also pleased that Południowy Koncern Węglowy highly appreciated our IT maintenance and development expertise," says Tomasz Pych, Managing Director at the Enterprises Division of Asseco Poland. "At Asseco, our priority is to provide high quality services, competence in development of proprietary software as well as skilful use of technologies, accommodating to the specific requirements of each of our clients. It pays off," he adds.

Asseco Poland has been certified as the Partner Center of Expertise, which confirms its high level of competence necessary to meet SAP’s highly demanding standards for the provision maintenance and support services. Furthermore, Asseco Poland is the first Polish partner of SAP that has been granted accreditation under the SAP’s global Active Quality Management program. Such accreditation confirms the quality of sales and implementation processes applied by Asseco. Active quality management translates into increased customer satisfaction, helps boost sales, and enables the provision of superior quality services.
