itelligence Netherlands reports successful production start at MCi (Mirror Controls international) Holdings B.V.

SAP consulting company once again reports customer in the automotive supplier industry
Best (The Netherlands) /Bielefeld (Germany), July 16, 2009 – The SAP consulting house itelligence today reported the successful SAP production start at MCi (Mirror Controls international) Holdings B.V., Montfoort, The Netherlands, in all divisions of the company. The company, founded in 1935, is the worldwide leading manufacturer of actuators for external automotive mirrors and has 500 employees worldwide.

After a very short implementation period of only about eight months at the Dutch plant and the subsequent rollout in Ireland and Mexico, around 200 users are working with it.automotive supplier, the industry solution refined by itelligence for the needs of the automotive supplier industry based on SAP Business All-in-One from SAP.

With the successful rollout, all group companies worldwide, including Administration, Production, Sales, and Logistics now have access to a single SAP system. In the next step, itelligence consultants will connect the new MCi plant in China to the MCi SAP system. The Engineering department also profits from it.automotive supplier with the implementation of document control and the planned implementation of the CAD interface for Pro Engineer. In the coming months Business Objects for more tailor made reporting purposes will be implemented.

Robert Rengers Hora Siccama, CFO at MCi (Mirror Controls international) Holdings B.V.: "Today, we have one of the most modern IT systems in the automobile supplier sector. This integrated system is a major step forward and will enable MCi to save costs in the future by streamlining our processes. Currently, we are pleased that we have achieved our main objective: on time a stand-alone IT system, hence the carve out from our former owner Eaton has been completed."

Ep Meijer, Project Manager at itelligence BV: “The interaction of MCi and itelligence in this complex international project was exemplary and I am pleased with the achievements we have already seen through the introduction of it.automotive supplier. From the very beginning, the possibilities for optimization with SAP extend beyond departments and country borders. It is a great pleasure that we can support our customers' strategy through our automotive expertise. “
