Queensland-based provider of software and services, Mincom, has announced a global licensing agreement with the world's largest private-sector coal company, Peabody Energy.
Under the three-year agreement, Mincom will provide Peabody with a hosted and fully managed implementation of Mincom LinkOne, a unique content-delivery solution which provides maintenance staff with graphically supported electronic catalogs and maintenance manuals.
Supported by Mincom’s managed-services offering, Peabody will implement Mincom LinkOne to streamline procurement processes and optimise the maintenance of key equipment across its global operations.
Peabody Energy will use SAP’s standard Open Catalog Integration (OCI) to integrate data between SAP Enterprise Buyer Professional and external catalogs provided by the company’s heavy-equipment OEM vendors, such as Caterpillar and P&H.
To quickly achieve return on investment, the company will implement Mincom LinkOne leveraging the on-demand delivery model and other support services provided by Mincom.
Mincom’s managed-services offering can help companies decrease total cost of ownership by speeding time to deployment and reducing IT overhead, and achieve faster time to results while minimising risk.
Headquartered in Brisbane, Mincom is an international company with offices in the Asia Pacific, Middle East, Europe, Africa, Latin America and North America.
