A tender was announced which foresawthe implementation of all major business processes from accounting to production.

Right after the completion of the main project, ALPE consulting has also deployed the RussianProfit Tax Accounting solution at Magna Cosma, as this functionality was not in the scope of thefirst phase of the project.Andre Bartczak, General Director at Magna Cosma Int. adds to the success of the project. �As aresult we modified all business processes in a logical scheme united under a single informationplatform.

The company works on creating a modern multi-center of maintenance and repair, meeting international standards, on the territory of special port economic zone in Ulyanovsk and realizes a range of projects on building of hangars in Sharjah, Leipzig and within the territory of Moscow airfield complex.

The factors, making the implementation in such a short period of time more difficult, were the following: the distant location of the subdivision; necessity for every employee to get acquainted with a wide range of functions. Besides, preparation of productive operation in April 2011 made it necessary to input the information on users� operations for three last months since the beginning of the year into the system.

Start of the system into productive operation performed by ALPE consulting specialists took place in the-before-set time.

Project results:

� �Volga-Dnepr Technics� subdivision in UAE maintains financial records in the system, meeting corporate demands;

� Integration of performing of users� operations on inventories and assets with finance accounting;

� Control of stock material (at manufacturer�s warehouses) is provided;

� Functions of correct calculation and cost value analysis of aircraft repair are acquired;

Yuri Kolesnikov � IT Director of �Volga-Dnepr� group of companies, evaluating project perspectives, is sure, that unified confirmed principles of business processes will allow to considerably decrease costs on support and development of the information system of management in the future. �Because of the fact, that the main business of the subdivision is aircraft maintenance and repair, as well as charter transportations, it is very important for us to get an effective instrument for calculation and analysis of repair cost value within the following costs: spare parts and components, work time of employees, time of work and adjustment of equipment, indirect additional charges, etc. SAP system allows to cope with all tasks fully.�
