HudBay Minerals selects Mincom’s complete enterprise solution for mining

The $6 million agreement will see Mincom support two mission-critical business processes: enterprise asset management and mining-operations management. HudBay will implement Mincom’s entire suite of technical-mining solutions, as well as Mincom Ellipse, its enterprise asset management solution, using a rapid-deployment solution for implementation called Mincom Accelerator, to further drive consistency and growth across its business. 

Mincom Accelerator is a pre-configured deployment of Mincom’s core Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution, Mincom Ellipse, which includes applications for finance, maintenance and materials management. Leveraging Mincom’s 30 years of experience in asset-intensive industries, Mincom Accelerator delivers best-in-class business processes for these industries to speed deployment and decrease costs.

“After conducting an extended evaluation, we selected Mincom due to the company’s unparalleled depth of domain expertise and proven success in delivering solutions for asset management and operational mining management,” said Garth Thompson, former CIO at HudBay. “And by leveraging Mincom’s rapid-deployment model, we expect to achieve business benefits much more quickly and at a lower cost than is usually the case with standard enterprise software roll-outs.”

“For mining companies such as HudBay, with around-the-clock operations in remote areas, asset uptime is essential. We are pleased the company has selected Mincom as its core solutions provider for mission-critical business processes such as EAM and mining-operations management,” said Craig Jones, Executive VP, Global Field Operations at Mincom. “Mincom offers the only complete enterprise solution for mining available today, helping our clients to remain competitive and agile in the challenging economic environment.”

The Mincom Intelligent Mining Solution (IMS) suite provides a comprehensive range of technical mining solutions, covering the entire spectrum of mining processes, from exploration to outbound logistics and sales.  Designed to serve both large and small mining and mineral-processing operations worldwide, Mincom IMS helps reduce costs and increase profitability across all technical-mining processes.

Mincom Ellipse is a fully integrated EAM and ERP solution, providing complete visibility and management of enterprise-wide assets to organizations in the mining, defense, public infrastructure, energy, and oil and gas industries.  With fully integrated yet modular applications, Mincom Ellipse offers the broadest functionality and most robust solution in the EAM market today, Mincom says.
