GeoLogistics Selects Geac for Financial Software Support in Two-Year US$940,000 Contract

Markham, Ontario and Studley, England (ots/PRNewswire)

- Geac provides worldwide high availability support to
mission-critical  finance systems
GeoLogistics, a global provider of integrated logistics and
transportation services, has awarded a two-year contract worth
approximately US$940,000 to Geac (TSX: GAC, NASDAQ:GEAC), a global
enterprise software company for Business Performance Management.
Geac's  global support centre in Manchester will now provide direct
support to  approximately 300 GeoLogistics finance staff using Geac
System21 Financials  software across 39 worldwide sites.
Additionally, Geac's support offices in  the United States and Asia
will also provide local service in relevant  timezones for full
support to users around the world.
Richard Bayston, Director, Global IT Financial Systems for
GeoLogistics, said: "Over the last few years we have steadily
standardised our  financial software requirements with Geac. There
are clear benefits from  using one accounting system worldwide which
can handle all the necessary  local languages and legal requirements.
Geac has been well established  within our business since its systems
were first implemented in our UK  operations in 1989, and it makes
perfect sense for us to use their  expertise directly for all
financial software support issues."
Using Geac System21 Financials software throughout the
organisation has  already allowed GeoLogistics to simplify its
operational environment,  enabling it to cut costs whilst providing
staff with the tools to increase  productivity and improve customer
service and customer satisfaction.
Geac System21 Financials provides GeoLogistics with a worldwide
view of  data across the entire business. It also provides a global
standard for  GeoLogistics' financial processes and the ability to
incorporate new  operations easily.
Geac System21 Financials runs on an IBM iSeries 825 and all
operations  are linked via a global data network managed by AT&T. The
iSeries server is  hosted by Digica within its operations centre in
Nottingham.
Charles Kirk, CIO for GeoLogistics, concluded:
"This agreement is testament to our commitment to Geac. We're a
global  supply chain business and we need a partner who will
literally 'follow the  sun' with us. We could have selected a 24 x 7
low cost IT support operation, but our business is based on having
high availability systems. The only  way we can be sure of this is to
work directly with Geac to access its  finance systems expertise in
all of our major territories spanning Europe,  the US and Asia. Geac
is able to provide us with local culture and language  support, which
is vital for maintaining happy employees and customers.  We're in
this supply chain together."
