CIBER Completes ERP Project On Time and On Budget for Gramercy Alumina LLC and St. Ann Bauxite Ltd.

GRAMERCY, La. – Mar. 27, 2008 – CIBER Enterprise Solutions, a division of CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR), has completed a 6-month, $1.3 million enterprise resource planning (ERP) information technology (IT) system implementation, including the implementation of SAP® solutions, for Gramercy, Louisiana-based Gramercy Alumina LLC, and for Discovery Bay, Jamaica-based St. Ann Bauxite Ltd, which are jointly owned by Century Aluminum and Noranda Aluminum. The implementations provide Gramercy and St. Ann with one integrated IT system that contains all of their business and customer information.

The new system replaces numerous disparate IT systems that had been in place for several years and which did not easily share data, resulting in redundant data entry tasks, higher potential for error because of duplicate data entry, and great effort to obtain data needed for strategic business planning.

“We needed to replace our aging legacy systems, which worked well for us for many years, but which could not accommodate our changing needs. We needed a system to integrate data and simplify our business processes, and to provide us with support in terms of software upgrades,” said Lu McDonald, Vice President, Finance, Gramercy Alumina LLC.

For the project, CIBER implemented SAP applications for the following functionalities: sales and distribution, materials management (incl. purchasing and warehousing), plant maintenance (incl. preventive and breakdown maintenance), finance and controlling, asset management, and human resources (incl. personnel administration, organizational management, benefits, and time management).

Gramercy and St. Ann’s are using the SAP ERP application as part of their new system.

“We didn’t have the expertise to implement a project of this magnitude, so we turned to CIBER because of their experience with SAP solutions and their ability to meet the specific needs of our industry. By combining dedicated internal resources with experienced CIBER consultants, we successfully implemented an integrated, automated system in an extremely short time frame,” said McDonald.

The project was more complex than typical implementations of SAP solutions because of the need to accommodate business process differences between the U.S.-based and Jamaica-based locations.

“Gramercy Alumina LLC and St. Ann Bauxite Ltd. operate in a fiercely competitive industry,” said Arnold Nel, Vice President of CIBER’s SAP Practice. “Their leaders truly understand and value the important role IT can play in providing business efficiencies and competitive advantage in a challenging marketplace. We are very pleased they selected us as their implementation partner to complete such a strategic and essential initiative.”

CIBER provides information technology services to private and public companies as well as to local, state, and federal government entities. CIBER was recently ranked the eighth best global IT outsourcing vendor of more than 4,000 vendors worldwide, and the 12th best overall outsourcing vendor worldwide, according to a June 2007 Brown-Wilson Group survey. The Brown-Wilson Group conducts annual surveys of CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, and other business decision-makers at Fortune 2000 organizations to understand users’ evaluations of global outsourcing service providers.
