Itineris is proud to announce that 'De Watergroep' has awarded the contract for the implementation of the Neptunus project to Itineris and its joint partners Delaware Consulting & Steria.

Starting in October 2013, Itineris will act as prime contractor and support together with its partner companies De Watergroep in the extension of the current customer information system (CIS) on Microsoft Dynamics AX (UMAX).

In addition, Itineris will oversee the implementation and integration of these extra modules on the Microsoft Dynamics AX platform as well as be responsible for the operational management, hosting & maintenance.

Jan Hammenecker - Commercial Director on the new agreement with Itineris: "The objective of De Watergroep is to manage the full company activities and all services provided to our 2.8 million water customers on one technology standard. By doing so our company can augment the degree of automation and integration, increase efficiency, accelerate customer processes, plan better & follow-up more closely interventions as well as digitalize and automate certain procedures (purchasing, mobile workforce…)."

Bert De Winter - Director ICT - adds to this: "By extending our current CIS with the extra functionality, De Watergroep will be ready for the future. We will be able to service our customers better, while reducing our IT architecture to one integrated solution & technology and hence reduce the cost to serve.
