PT. Satyamitra Kemas Lestari
Case study | PT SKL
Mr Franco Agung, director of nance and
IT, recalls: “It was a case of ‘the grass is
always greener’ with a supposedly better
job just around the corner. The result was
that we were unable to either build or
sustain the knowledge bank required to
secure a truly coordinated IT solution
across the organisation.”
It was at this stage that the company
decided on a solution oered by HP and its
Business Alliance Partner. Malaysian-based
Prestige Atlantic Asia is an independent
business solution builder and developer.
It oers customised vertical business
solutions throughout its pan-Asian network.
For more than a decade HP and Prestige
Atlantic have collaborated in placing
specialist software developed by Prestige
Atlantic and powered by the HP UNIX®
operating system running on HP Business
Critical Servers (BCS).
Solution
Robust ERP platform
Franco says: “We recognised HP’s reputation
for its proven server technology. We were
also aware of Prestige Atlantic’s track
record in developing specialist paper and
packaging industry solutions - with more
than 120 installations across Asia.
“We chose a custom designed Prestige
Atlantic CPS/Enterprise solution developed
from scratch to suit the specic needs of
the carton and packaging industry. It is a
highly integrated ERP system supported by
the robustness of the HP Integrity Server
platform and powered by the HP UNIX
operating system.”
The HP rx2660 server employs a dual-core
Intel® Itanium® architecture which, “when
running on the HP-UX 11i v3 and coupled
with the CPS/Enterprise software, is proving
an ideal solution for our business critical
environment,” adds Franco.
An additional factor that underpinned
the HP/Prestige Atlantic solution was the
strong local presence and track record of
HP and its Alliance Partner. Competition
was oered by vendors from the USA
and Australia, but the chosen solution
not only matched the pricing, but oered
fast turnaround if support was required.
Franco says: “HP and Prestige Atlantic
are a proven part of the local business
community. They can talk to our people
in their own language and understand
the communications issues perfectly.”
