GDC - Geothermal Development Company Ltd

GDC has engaged two leading software firms to install the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

A consortium of Deloitte Consulting Ltd and Enterprise Information Management Solution Ltd will deliver hardware, install the software, train and implement the ERP system in GDC. The system will be rolled out in phases.

The MD Dr. Silas Simiyu has encouraged everyone to embrace the new system once it is installed. He said if implemented and adopted properly, ERP will increase efficiency, transparency, and productivity for the organization.

“It is paramount that we do all the right things from the beginning. That way, we will embed ourselves in the system without difficulties,” he said.

ERP is a computer based system used to manage activities and processes of organizations. These include financial information, human resources data, supply chain management, plant maintenance and operational efficiency, customer complaints, among others.

“GDC has a plan to deliver 5,000 MW by 2030. This calls for a system that can support our mission by delivering information and reports real-time to assist management in decision-making,” said Mr. Bruno Linyiru, the Manager Finance.

According to Linyiru ERP gives GDC an opportunity to benchmark “our activities and processes against the very best institutions.” This therefore calls for hard work from all our staff to ensure that we are among the very best,” he said.

The project kick-off date is schedule for mid next month. The implementation is expected to last for 10 months with post implementation support period of 24 months.
