The Arabian Gulf’s leading maritime repair and fabrication facility signed a contract with Infor, the New York-headquartered multi-national enterprise software firm, to implement a new state-of-the-art facility-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

The contract was signed by Mazen Matar, the Managing Director of Asry, and Jeorg Jung, the Executive Vice President for EMEA, Infor, in the presence of a number of officials from both companies.

Prior to the official signing ceremony, officials from the two companies called on Oil Minister Shaikh Mohammed bin Khalifa AlKhalifa, at the National Oil and Gas Authority (NOGA) headquarters.

This latest transformative step in Asry’s modernisation drive will install Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise system, streamlining and automating processes across every department in the company and upgrading Asry’s digital integration to industry best practice, a statement from Asry said.

“As part of Asry’s modernisation, this project is a digital overhaul of the entire company’s processes and procedures,” commented Asry Managing Director Mazen Matar.

“It is the most wide-reaching administrative transformation in the facility’s 44-year history, and after an extensive feasibility investigation we have chosen Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise. Asry completes over 250 projects per year across four industrial sectors, and once this system is deployed, these operations will be simplified and digitised, bringing agility to the business, and ultimately streamlining our ability to serve customers, maximise Asry’s contribution to the Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030 and boost the region’s maritime sector. Asry’s use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) for the new ERP also creates further integration with Kingdom’s burgeoning ICT sector, which hosts the AWS Middle East Region. We are the latest in a wave of businesses and government entities tapping into the advanced and secure technology infrastructure being developed and expanded throughout Bahrain, and join an elite list of global firms who have also chosen Infor’s services,” he added.

Infor Executive Vice President MEA, Jeorg Jung, said: “Infor helps organisations improve productivity, efficiency, and visibility across their operations, enabling management to make better-informed choices. We’re thrilled to be working with Asry on its digital transformation, and we look forward to helping it achieve its business goals in a dynamic industry.”

Asry and Infor aim to complete the deployment of the first phase of Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise within 11 months. The platform will incorporate all divisions of the yard, including commercial, supply chain, production, finance and general services. As well as a simplified IT architecture, streamlined and automated processes, and end-to-end visibility of key aspects of the business, there will also be modules for a new cloud-based human capital management (HCM) capability to help Asry deliver streamlined workforce processes, as well as a new customer relationship management (CRM) module.
