Business Wire
Answerthink, a division of The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:
HCKT) focused on providing and supporting SAP® solutions, today
announced the successful go-live implementation of EzChemical™, an
SAP Business All-in-One partner solution for the chemical industry,
at The Dallas Group.
Headquartered in Whitehouse, NJ, The Dallas Group is the world's
premier producer of absorbent synthetic magnesium silicate marketed
under the trademark MAGNESOL®. In addition, they are proud to be
the only North American based manufacturer of ammonium chloride
and, in 2003, they entered into the lignosulfonate business. All of
these products are used in a wide variety of industrial, food,
pharmaceutical, and energy applications.
The Dallas Group needed to replace multiple home grown and
proprietary systems with a single-solution information technology
landscape. Their goal was to simplify business processes, gain
critical analysis and reporting functions, and provide a stable
environment while ensuring a scalable solution to support growth.
Their decision to select SAP was based on stability of SAP as a
product and company, the scalability of the SAP solution to provide
for their immediate needs as well as their longer term growth
plans. Other major factors included the track record of accelerated
implementations using the Answerthink Business All-In-One solution
and the implementation team of Emtec (Dallas Group’s long standing
IT partner) and Answerthink.
The project, which was completed in 22 weeks, included core
functionality in the areas of finance, materials management,
production planning, and sales & distribution utilizing
Answerthink’s Business All-In-One pre-configured solution.
“What impressed me most were Answerthink’s personnel. A true
effort was made to figure out our processes and personnel, and then
tailor SAP for our company. We did not feel we were getting a ‘One
Size Fits All’ Information System,” said Patrick Dalbenzio, Project
Manager, The Dallas Group.
According to Answerthink’s SAP Solutions Group Principal, John
McGrath, “SAP’s Business All-in-One solution will provide The
Dallas Group with the infrastructure that will support their growth
and adapt to their constantly changing requirements, enabling them
to continue as a leader in this unique marketplace.”

Their goal is to provide quality products and service at the right
price. They maintain a full-time sales staff worldwide in order to
