We selected N4 in order to remain competitive in the industry, and we are confident that its reliability will carry us forward as we evolve." The N4 implementation process will be managed by Swiss-based Navis partner Data and System Planning (DSP). DSP is working directly with TMT, utilizing Navis' methodology and project management tools. DSP will provide configuration, testing, report and field extensions, go-live support services, including customized training courses so that their management and mid-management teams are up and running on N4 as quickly as possible.
