- Fastest Implementation of ERP Public Cloud Edition
The Company is one of the fastest-growing gold mining owners in its market, expanding mine production capacity quickly to meet growth targets. Its existing systems needed to be replaced rapidly with a modern ERP platform able to support the pace of the Company's growth.
- Existing systems unable to keep pace with the Company's rapid production growth
- Limited internal IT resources to support a traditional, lengthy ERP implementation
- Pressure to minimise implementation time to avoid disrupting production ramp-up
- Inconsistent data standards across finance and operations functions
- Need for a systems foundation that could scale quickly alongside continued growth
- For fast-growing gold mining owners, systems implementation speed must match the pace of production growth or risk becoming a constraint
- Public cloud ERP significantly lowers the total cost and elapsed time of implementation compared to on-premise alternatives
- A standard-process, rapid deployment approach avoids disrupting the Company's ongoing production ramp-up
- Without a scalable systems foundation, rapid growth increases the risk of finance and operations data falling out of step with production reality

Fastest-in-Class Go-Live
A lean, standard-process approach delivered one of the fastest ERP public cloud go-lives in its segment.
Growth-Ready Systems Foundation
The new ERP platform gives the Company a systems foundation able to scale with continued production growth.
Standardised Finance-Operations Data
Finance and operations now share a standardised data model, replacing inconsistent legacy reporting.
Minimal Production Disruption
The rapid deployment approach avoided disrupting the Company's ongoing production ramp-up.
- <3 months
- From project kickoff to go-live (approx.)
- 1
- Standardised ERP platform across finance and operations
- 0
- Disruption to ongoing production ramp-up during rollout
- 30%
- Lower total cost of ownership vs. on-premise systems (approx.)
- 90%+
- User adoption within the first quarter post-go-live (approx.)
- 25%
- Faster financial reporting cycle post-implementation (approx.)
The Company now runs finance and operations on a modern, standardised cloud ERP platform deployed at a pace that matched its rapid production growth. This foundation lets the Company scale further without its systems becoming a growth constraint.
