ePartners Chosen to Implement Microsoft Dynamics for Brett Martin Ltd

Brett Martin chooses Microsoft Gold Partner to implement flexible, robust and scalable Microsoft platform

United KINGDOM: APRIL 22, 2008— ePartners® (www.epartnersolutions.com), a leading business and technology consultancy and Microsoft Gold Partner, announces today that they have been selected by Brett Martin Ltd. to implement Microsoft Dynamics AX, an advanced manufacturing management solution that integrates critical processes—including order management, accounting, inventory management, production management, warehouse management, and barcoding.

Brett Martin Ltd, headquartered in Mallusk, is a leading manufacturer of plastic products for construction, roofing, print and display generating a turnover in excess of £110 million per annum. A global company dedicated to local service, Brett Martin supplies its materials to distribution specialists in more than 70 countries worldwide, from seven sites across the UK and one in the Netherlands.

Dedicated to service and manufacturing excellence, Brett Martin required a new technology solution for improved customer delivery, analysis of critical data, quicker response to changes, and more confident decision making. In order to support the company’s growth and core values, they needed to move away from their legacy system to a flexible, robust and scalable business management platform. During the selection process, the selection team evaluated a number of enterprise resource planning solutions to support their manufacturing and financial requirements before selecting Microsoft Dynamics AX and choosing ePartners for the implementation.

“ePartners had already implemented Microsoft Dynamics CRM at our company headquarters,” said Brian Martin of Brett Martin. “So we were certainly confident in their understanding of our business processes, as well as their experience in the manufacturing industry. We chose Microsoft Dynamics AX for its ease of use, the ability for the company to grow with the solution, and for the partner channel model. The ease of integration with Dynamics AX and our other applications was very appealing to us.”

Microsoft Dynamics AX is a comprehensive business-management solution for midsize and larger organizations that offers a high degree of scalability, customizability and full industry-specific functionality. It helps optimize and centralize supply chain processes and improves real-time visibility into operations. The end-to-end integration of Microsoft Dynamics AX will enable Brett Martin to implement advanced manufacturing practices, trace components and products, manage key performance indicators, and provide trading partners with visibility into needed data to meet customer demands.

“By choosing Microsoft Dynamics AX, Brett Martin is able to build on the investments in the Microsoft systems and software they already use,” said Sam Dharmasiri, Managing Director UK at ePartners. “Since their employees are already familiar with the Microsoft environment, it will decrease learning curves, resulting in a heightened focus on business goals and customers, rather than new technology.”
