Aurigo Software Technologies Inc, a Microsoft Gold certified partner and  leading software products and solutions provider in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) vertical, today announced that Nagarjuna Constructions Company (NCC) International, SNC Power Corp and Woodkraft have chosen Aurigo BRIX 2009 and Microsoft Dynamics AX to completely automate their business processes. With these new customers, Aurigo has completed 10 deployments on the combined BRIX+AX solution in the last 12 months in addition to its large customer base on BRIX stand alone systems. Aurigo’s construction management and inspection system, BRIX 2009, is an Industry add-on to Microsoft Dynamics AX and the combined solution is an incredibly powerful Industry ready ERP for the AEC Industries worldwide.

NCC, one of India’s leading construction companies, with operations worldwide, will deploy the solution first at its subsidiary company NCC International (Muscat) and subsequently roll out the solution to its other divisions. SNC Power Corporation, a leading general contracting house, found a robust and reliable ERP system with Aurigo BRIX and Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP solution to automate their business needs. Even companies in the architecture and interior design space today are moving towards automation to enhance their operating efficiency, control costs and increase profits. WoodKraft, one of India’s premier interior execution company chose the Aurigo BRIX+ Microsoft Dynamics AX solution to enable itself to effectively manage multiple projects across multiple sites.

Aurigo has recently appoined Arvato System as their value added reseller to expand its presence in South East Asia. Arvato Systems, a global technology consulting and software design and development company will support, market and implement Aurigo BRIX™ 2009 across Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Bangkok and Singapore.

Aurigo has also strengthened its presence in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions through value added reseller arrangements with Right Group and Synergy Software System. Both the resellers will market, implement and support BRIX 2009 across the region. Right Group has offices in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Synergy Software Systems has offices in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Yemen. Aurigo entered the Middle East market in September 2008 in a strategic alliance with Columbus IT, a global technology consulting and software development company in Middle East and Africa, to offer Aurigo Brix™ and Microsoft Dynamics™ AX in this region. Columbus IT is one of the largest Microsoft Business Solution partners.

Commenting on the recent wins, Mr. Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and founder, Aurigo Software, said, ”It has been less than a year since we entered the Indian market and we have successfully deployed over 10 instances of the solution in this short period. Our customers have chosen the Aurigo BRIX + Microsoft dynamics AX solution largely owing to its ease of use, industry ready features and India Localization requirements that are met out of the box. In most cases, we have noticed that our customers have replaced their existing home-grown ERP packages with the BRIX+AX solution.”

“The Union budget for 2009-10 by the Government of India has earmarked a staggering Rs. 125,000 cores on building Infrastructure which amounts to over 9% of our GDP. This infrastructure development is massive and needs systems and processes in place to manage projects of this size, both for contractors and the Government agencies. This has lead to an increased number of enquiries that we are seeing. Indian construction companies have realized that they must evolve or perish.” added Mr. Sreenivasan, Founder & CEO, Aurigo Software.

Mr. Vybhav Shetty, Executive Director, SNC Power Corp, said, "Aurigo BRIX + Microsoft Dynamics AX provided us with a holistic solution to our ERP requirements. The BRIX 2009 user interface is similar to the popular Microsoft Outlook look-and-feel making it easy to operate and implement. The team from Aurigo has been very proficient in understanding our needs and developing a solution that meets our requirements. We see tremendous potential of increased operational efficiency and greater project visibility through this implementation."

Expressing his enthusiasm at the sustained customer momentum in the architecture and construction industry Mr. Sushant Dwivedy, Director, Microsoft Business Solutions, Microsoft India said, “The customers wins is a clear endorsement of  Microsoft ERP strategy  of delivering value to customers by  providing industry solutions with partners.
