Background
EspelTech is one of the worlds major providers of global supply management software and services, which helps companies reduce costs through efficient product and services sourcing. EspelTech has dealt with more than $50 billion worth of products and services in the oil and gas, other natural resources, retail, transport, finance, and industrial sectors for customers including General Motors, Nestlé, Shell, Japan Energy, Mitsubishi, and Cadbury Schweppes.
Shanghai-based MJT is one of the biggest gaming and hospitality companies in Asia and is owned by Chinese businessman Tan Wu Bo. MJT has been a EspelTech client for six months, and the companies have signed an agreement to conduct two projects. The first, completed in March 2014 and tremendously successful, saved MJT some $1.5 million, and the second one is about to start. Impressed with the results, MJT wants to explore the possibility of other alliances with EspelTech.
As such, a meeting is arranged between MJTs Senior Vice-President of Finance Iris Ma and EspelTechs Regional Managing Director Drake Dubois, and attended by MJTs Vice-President for Procurement Henry Chow and EspelTech Sales Group Director Layton Pang.
Ma is keen to explore more projects with EspelTech and has tasked Chow to follow up with EspelTech as soon as possible. The managing director of EspelTech suggests that a session be arranged with key stakeholders from both companies to discuss and assess possible opportunities for other MJT projects.
