In a ten-month selection process the Viva management was looking for a new ERP system, as well as a new implementation partner, who was to help Viva to realize the aspired goals. The abas Business Software which runs on a Linux platform was able to stand up to a lot of competition. Viva decided on abas ERP due to the high functionality in the areas cost accounting, controlling, production control and automotive supplier industry, as well as the high flexibility which enables a fast ERP implementation and a quick ROI (Return on Investment).
The implementing partner is the company amotlQ sro, which provides decades of international operative implementation experience to the project, i.e. for companies such as DCX, BMW, Magna and Hyundai. The Viva management was especially impressed by the implementation strategy.
