Successful South African gaming and leisure brand Sun International selects IFS Applications 8

IFS (http://www.ifsworld.com/), the global enterprise applications company,
announces that Sun International (http://www.suninternational.com/), one of
Africa’s leading gaming and leisure brands which is focused on the development,
management and operation of casinos, hotels and resorts in South Africa, other
parts of Africa as well as in Latin America, has chosen IFS Applications
8™ (http://www.ifsworld.com/en/solutions/ifs-applications-8/) as its central
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The solution will be used by more
than 10,000 Sun International employees, in 22 properties and will support
business-critical processes such as finance, HR, payroll, supply chain,
facilities and project management. The contract includes licenses and
implementation services worth approximately US$ 5.5 million.
Sun International operates 29 casinos, resorts and luxury hotels across eight
countries globally, making it one of the leading and world class brands in the
gaming and hospitality industry. Every day, over 50,000 customers from over 50
countries visit Sun International properties. To support and streamline its
multi-faceted and geographically dispersed operations, Sun International decided
to replace its existing back office systems, which consist of numerous instances
of multiple applications, with a centralized, single instance and fully
integrated ERP solution.

After a rigorous due diligence and evaluation process involving customer site
visits and detailed proof-of-concepts, Sun International chose IFS Applications
8 over competing midmarket ERP solutions amongst SAP, Microsoft and Oracle. The
IFS solution, which will be deployed in over 22 properties in 8 countries (i.e.
South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Nigeria and Chile),
will offer integrated business support, including fully-localized HR and
payroll, financials, supply chain, facilities and project management as well as
advanced business intelligence and reporting.

“The implementation of the ERP is a strategic initiative which aims to manage
business costs through the automation of business processes and consolidation of
15 fragmented business systems into a centralised IFS solution,” Sun
International Chief Information Officer, Mr. Thabo Ndlela said. “We chose IFS
Applications 8 because it provided a better fit to Sun International business
requirements, is a configurable service oriented architecture technology, and
offers competitive advantage which promises a reduction in back office total
cost of ownership.”

“We are very pleased to announce this prestigious customer win, involving one of
Africa’s most respected brands,” said Ian Fleming, Managing Director, IFS Middle
East, Africa and South Asia. “Localized, flexible multi-site system support
delivered through a global organization is one of IFS’s distinguishing hallmarks
and one which will help Sun International increase user efficiency and business
control while reducing IT system sprawl. We look forward to working together
with Sun International to consolidate and streamline its operations.”

The ERP implementation at Sun International will be jointly delivered with
Accenture, a global systems integrator, and is expected to be completed in 2015.
