"Our objective is to improve business processes and increase supply chain visibility across our worldwide operations in order to better serve our customers. Of the software options we considered, Movex offered the best fit with our business model because of its strong manufacturing core and collaborative supply chain planning and scheduling capabilities. In addition, Intentia gave us a strong commitment that they would provide total support, from planning and implementation, through follow-up and maintenance. This commitment was a key decision factor." Intentia in Japan won Nabco's confidence in strong competition. The contract is yet another example of how Intentia's long-term commitment to Japan combined with competence and knowledge of the Japanese market is paying off. "The potential of the Japanese market can not be overestimated," comments Anders Hellermark, Director Intentia Asia Pacific. "One of the keys to Japan's come back in the global economy is the change of an obsolete IT foundation in most companies. Only through modern integrated systems can Japan take full advantage of e- business and collaborative processes. Just a fraction of companies in Japanese industry are currently in a position to benefit from solutions that their competitors in the west already take for granted. Nabco is a typical example of a forward- looking Japanese company that understands the potential of an integrated system."
