CIMAGE FUSION SOLUTION FOR MANAGING TECHNICAL CONTENT SELECTED BY NINGXIA COAL GROUP

August 2006

SWORD, a specialist international IT Product and Services Company focused on the compliance management market, has been appointed by Shenhua Ningxia Coal Group (SNCG) to deliver their Cimage Fusion product to manage the build and maintenance of their $1.5 billion Coal to Chemicals production plant. The project, which is already underway, is based in Beijing and will move to the autonomous province of Ningxia in the North West of China.

SWORD were chosen as suppliers based mainly on their proven ability to deliver innovative proven solutions on time and on budget in the energy sector, along with their significant domain expertise. Cimage Fusion is the world’s leading solution for managing technical content and processes in the energy and related construction industry and greatly reduces the associated cost and risk.

Another important factor in the decision making process was the ability for SNCG to deliver a multi-lingual web based interface with the added benefit of being able to use a lower cost labour base to input data in native Mandarin.

Terry Coyne, SWORD’s Sales Manager responsible for international business for Cimage Fusion comments “we are delighted and proud to have been chosen by SNCG and look forward to building a long term partnership with them for the lifecycle of this project. This new business is a considerable addition to our expanding presence in China for Cimage Fusion and has paved the way for us to broaden our existing SWORD channel partnerships and to develop new relationships in China and throughout South East Asia”
