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.”

Answerthink is a strategic business and technology consulting firm that enables companies to achieve world-class business performance. Qualified SAP Business All-in-One partner solutions are industry-specific software, implementation, and training solutions developed by SAP partners using SAP applications.
