JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, September 23 /PRNewswire/ --

- Integrated Infor ERP LN and Infor PLM 8 Solution Chosen to Improve 
Production and Accelerate Delivery Times

Infor today announced that the South Africa business of BAE Systems, Land
Systems OMC, a leading manufacturer of mine protected and armoured vehicles,
has selected an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product
Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution to improve product design and production
efficiency. Infor ERP LN and Infor PLM 8 will help to provide more accurate
product configuration, reducing the costly need to retrofit products and
resulting in better service and faster delivery times for customers.

Following a review of the market, Land Systems OMC selected Infor ERP LN
and PLM 8. Infor was chosen for its deep understanding of the manufacturing
and defence industries and its ability to meet Land Systems OMC's specific
needs for an integrated solution that encompassed conceptualisation, design,
development, manufacture, production, re-manufacture and global in-service
support. The quality control, product configuration and service management
features of Infor's solution were also important selection factors.

"Infor's people showed a depth of knowledge and experience, which was a
key factor in our selection," comments Gert Pretorius, engineering and
business improvements director, BAE Systems Land Systems OMC.

"Our operations are complex due to the development of new models and
custom projects in the same production environment as our existing product
range. We must control many engineering and configuration changes whilst
maintaining stringent levels of reporting to satisfy requirements for
progress payments from our international customers. These factors place huge
demands on our systems for accurate production planning, which requires
integration between the shop floor and back office."

Softworx, an Infor partner in South Africa, will provide additional
professional services support for the project.
