Ever since starting our commercial operations in November 2006, Steak State Power or SI, is aiming at being a world class energy company and a leader in coal-fired power plant technology. As the leader of this company, it is very important to me that we deliver a high quality service to our customers and thereby contribute to a reliable electricity supply for the people of Mindanao. We were initially established to own, finance, build, operate and maintain the very first coal-fired power plant in Mindanao and it was a game changer at that time given that we were able to provide additional and reliable electricity supply for the region at the time when they were building towards growth. Right now, SPI is majority owned by the Approaches Power Corporation, which is a leader in the energy sector in this country. This coupled with our extensive experience in operating here in the region gives us a perfect recipe for success. We were facing the challenge to not only migrate our SAP system but also to upgrade at the same time. For this, it was clear to us that we need a highly qualified and dependable partner to guide us through the entire transformation journey. The move to SAP S4 HANA was inevitable. We needed a robust solution that would cater to our growing demands operationally as well as the offset any possible impact of the existing EC licenses which will no longer have SAP support in the next few years. Another critical aspect of our endeavor is to find a reliable partner oil, provide expertise and guidance to help us achieve our. Transformation efficiently and successfully, and we found this with Binex. Working with Binex was a welcome challenge for SBI considering the project scope and impact, but would be next deep pool of talents. The challenges encountered were hurdled to our satisfaction throughout this entire initiative Bedex was there to provide. Expert insights, recommendations and work around solutions customized to the needs of SBI. Their competence shown throughout the entire project, from kickoff which was done professionally, to the regular alignments up to the smooth go live, we all work together to ensure project success. And we couldn't be any happier. As we progress, we face many challenges as is typical in projects of this magnitude. But thanks to a collaborative approach with Minex, we manage to navigate through each obstacles efficiently. They always stayed on the front lines anticipating possible events which contributed greatly to a seamless execution leading to go live phase. Collaborating with our extensive team across regions and even countries possess significant challenges for other SAP partners. However, Minix showed its skills in dealing with such difficult situation. We are very grateful for all their dedicated efforts. The way I view this initiative is more than just operational efficiency. A CPI is not just an energy provider, but also a key contributor to the growth of the community and the Minara region. As we continue to bring positive impact to the lives of every single family in the areas we service, part of our responsibility is to ensure that they are given the quality of service that they deserve. Hence, this is also what we expect from the partner we work with. And this is what we got from me next exemplary service, quality consultants, reliable team members and world class delivery. With their help, we have established a state-of-the-art system that will support us to achieve our goals in the years to come.
