"After E.ON, GDF SUEZ is now the second energy company active on a world scale that – along with many other utilities - opts for the UMAX™ solution and the Microsoft Dynamics AX technology stack. We're very proud of this choice and are happy that our continuous investments in the solution as well as the dedication of our project teams are being recognized by our clients."

"The choice for our UMAX™ solution proves, yet again, that it is the go-to-solution for utilities both within the Microsoft Dynamics AX technology stack as well as over other competitive and more traditional platforms."

"Well ahead of the official signing of the contract and as the deadline is sharp, we started with the first steps for the implementation. As always & like with every other UMAX™ solution implementation, we're dedicated and committed to the success of this project and the realization of the business strategy of GDF SUEZ Energie Nederland."
