WellPoint establishes momentum in mining industry with the signing of Gammon Lake Resources

CALGARY, Oct. 3 /CNW/ - WellPoint Systems Inc. ("WellPoint") (TSX-V:WPS - News) today announced the addition of Gammon Lake Resources Inc. ("Gammon Lake") to its rapidly growing list of clientele within the Mining industry. Gammon Lake has committed to a comprehensive suite of ERP functionality from the Microsoft Dynamics AX portfolio (formerly Microsoft Axapta).

Faced with intense competition from multiple vendors promoting industry-specific solutions, the WellPoint team was able to convince Gammon Lake that not only is the Dynamics AX technology a superior integration platform but also that it is the exclusive foundation for a number of robust add-on modules (i.e. enterprise asset management, etc.) that are optimized for the Mining industry. Both of these characteristics were key decision factors for Gammon Lake, a company poised for tremendous growth over the coming months.


The Dynamics AX platform will allow Gammon Lake to focus its existing personnel on their core business rather than being burdened with the onus of integrating the additional software functionality that will ultimately be required to run the business. This is a critical benefit for emerging companies such as Gammon Lake and a fact to which WellPoint is keenly attuned.

"We have invested a tremendous amount of time and resources over the past eighteen months to gain a deeper understanding of the unique requirements associated with the Mining industry," says Tom Mawhinney, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for WellPoint Systems. "The addition of an emerging star like Gammon Lake is further validation for our company that this industry is recognizing these efforts."
