Spescom Selected By Aker Kvaerner for Global Deployment

Spescom Software Inc announced that Aker Kvaerner has selected eB as its corporate standard for document management.

Aker Kvaerner, a leading global provider of engineering and construction services, technology products and integrated solutions ( http://www.akerkvaerner.com ), has completed an evaluation of a series of Information Technology products to form the corporate standards on which it will deploy solutions across its business units and projects into the future. In the Electronic Document Management area, eB from Spescom Software has been selected as the corporate standard. In due course eB will be used to replace the systems that are currently in operation, and in the short term will be applied to a number of specific project requirements.

Aker Kvaerner is a $5.2 billion company (2004), employing 21,000 people in more than 30 countries. Spescom has worked closely with Aker Kvaerner on a number of projects in the UK and Europe, and has developed an understanding of the key information management requirements of an enterprise of this nature.

"The decision made by Aker Kvaerner to adopt the eB platform for document management is of strategic importance to Spescom," stated Keith Stentiford, CEO, Spescom Software. "We look forward to a long and successful relationship with one of the world leaders in engineering and construction."

"This contract win, against some of the largest players in the enterprise content management market clearly indicates that eB is a platform for the future. Its ability to manage both unstructured and structured information on a single platform makes it unique in the enterprise information management market. The deployment of eB version 14 in support of the global operations of Aker Kvaerner will be a significant milestone in the development of Spescom Software."
