DXC Technology Helps Whitehaven Coal Transit Workforce and Integrate Mining Technology Platforms
Rollout of SAP's Enterprise Resource Platform successfully completed in record six months
SYDNEY, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading Fortune 500 global technology services provider, has successfully implemented technology systems for two recently acquired Whitehaven Coal (ASX: WHC) mine sites, Daunia and Blackwater, allowing Whitehaven to double its size in record time.
DXC completed the roll-out of an SAP S/4Hana ERP system at the new mine sites - aimed at modernizing the HR, Finance, Procurement, and Payroll functions within six months. DXC managed the full implementation process to transition and integrate with new systems, as well as providing business analysis, organizational change management and security services. The transition and integration of existing and new systems for the mines was fully operational by 1 April 2024.
"DXC's solutions were at the heart of Whitehaven's critical business integration," said Seelan Nayagam, President Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, DXC Technology. "By leveraging our deep technology experience, we successfully helped Whitehaven double its size and transition a workforce of more than 2,000 and systems running over 150 applications, with minimal disruption to production."
Whitehaven Coal is a leading Australian coal producer, helping to power developed and emerging economies in Asia and supplying metallurgical coal that is a critical component in steel making.
"Key to the success of this journey has been Whitehaven's acknowledgement of technology as a critical factor underpinning its business integration. Bringing DXC into the fold early to perform a feasibility study for the technology requirements of the acquisition was the first step, coupled with Whitehaven's leadership and vision to drive genuine engagement across the business, ensuring readiness to best utilise technology as an enabler," added Nayagam.
