Kineticsware EMEA Wins Major Contract in the UK With TCSJOHNHUXLEY

Global Casino Outfitters Select Kineticsware to Implement Microsoft Dynamics AX-Based Manufacturing, Service Management, Rental and Financial Applications to Their World-Wide Sites

REDDING, UK--(Marketwire - June 20, 2007) - Kineticsware, a global software company and Microsoft partner focused on customers in supply chain intensive industries, today announces that its European team has closed a major deal in the United Kingdom with TCSJOHNHUXLEY. TCSJOHNHUXLEY is a global manufacturer of gambling equipment based in UK with operations in Spain, United States, Canada, Australia, Russia, China and South Africa. The entire selection process took six weeks from initiation to close.

TCSJOHNHUXLEY has chosen Kineticsware to project manage and architect a Microsoft Dynamics AX solution for manufacturing, warehouse management, service and rental management, financial management and customer relationship management. Kineticsware is resourcing key aspects of the project such as technical consultancy, systems architecture, project and programme management, utilising its Kineticsware Implementation Methodology (KIM™), and collaborating with Microsoft partners Touchstone Group (rental management), Blue Rock Systems (service management) and eBECS (manufacturing) to deliver a complete solution.

TCSJOHNHUXLEY chose to work with Kineticsware to deliver a Microsoft Dynamics AX solution over two other partners and their software offerings. According to Henrik Petersen, Group IT Director for TCSJOHNHUXLEY, "We engaged our users in the software selection process, which informed our decision to select Microsoft Dynamics AX. On the partner side, Kineticsware's professionalism and 'army' of internal resources reassured us that they had the right level of knowledge, resource and commitment. It was very pleasant dealing with Kineticsware and I certainly have a feeling they will go the extra mile."

According to Paul White, Director of Microsoft Dynamics (UK), "Kineticsware engaged with us right out of the gate to ensure a successful win, which helps to explain why the deal was closed in record time. Kineticsware is providing a level of business consulting expertise that is usually reserved for the large enterprise as well as vertical software solutions and collaborating with a network of highly-regarded VAR partners to deliver functional expertise."

The first phase of the implementation will be rolled out and tested with 200 UK staff and planned for completion by end of 2007. The next wave in 2008 will see the application being rolled out to the entire global organisation, which operates in the world's most lucrative gambling hotspots including Macau, Moscow, and Las Vegas.

TCSJOHNHUXLEY expects the new system to improve efficiencies and support real time decision making. According to Petersen, "We're expecting the system to streamline our business processes and support our efforts to achieve 20 percent year-on-year growth and take us to the high end of the mid-market. Because the system will look and feel like any other Microsoft product, we expect people to embrace the applications and get up to speed quickly. Finally, by having one database, we'll have one version of the truth across the world -- that's ultimately what we're after."
