PT MII launches new software solution

JAKARTA (JP): An information technology provider, PT Mitra
Integrasi Informatika, launched on Wednesday new software,
Business Planning Control System (BPCS), amid growing demand for
system integration solutions in the country's software market.

Company director Wilson Hasyim said that BPCS would provide an
integrated solution in the form of financial systems, supply
chain management and multi-mode manufacturing used in Internet
transactions.

The software solution package, which is provided by U.S.-based
System Software Associates, will cost users at least US$25,000,
he said.

The software will benefit medium and large manufacturers,
specifically in electronic, pharmaceutical, chemical, food and
beverage, and automotive industries, Wilson said.

Wilson added that the company expected to book $100,000 in
sales from this new software product.

BPCS faces tough competition with similar products from big
players such as SAP, Oracle, Baan, Peoplesoft, Intentia, JD
Edwards, Siebel, and Marcom.

Mitra Integrasi Informatika, a subsidiary of PT Metrodata
Electronics, distributes hardware and software of various global
brands, such as Hewlett Packard, IBM, Compaq, Acer, Epson,
Microsoft, and Novell, as well as business and network solutions.

The company projects a revenue of Rp 170 billion ($20.4
million) this year, a 13 percent increase from Rp 150 billion in
1999, Wilson said, adding that it planned to increase the
contribution of its non-hardware division this year.(07)
