From the Paper:

"Kelvin Hughes is a global supplier of navigation products. Their 20-year old MAS manufacturing resource planning system is outdated and inefficient. It currently runs across three separate Unix systems and can't provide the organization with the business reports that it needs to remain competitive. As such, Kelvin Hughes is replacing the system with the IFS enterprise resource planning system on a Linux system. The new ERP system "will be used to streamline and automate manual processes at Kelvin Hughes. It will also be used to give the company greater visibility of worldwide resources and allow it to schedule deliveries more accurately." All items their old system could not handle."
