COSOL Limited – H1 - Major Client Wins

Client Deal Description Strategic Benefit
COSOL Asia Pacific has been awarded a three-year contract to provide Managed Services for the Glencore Coal Assets Australia (GCAA) Sales and Logistics System which is
powered by Dassault Systèmes DELMIA Quintiq Solution. Demonstrating our EDAM (enterprise data asset management) credentials and expanding our capability in Advanced
Analytics and Optimisation the DELMIA Quintiq provides companies with solutions to model, plan and optimize their business operations from end to end. The solutions are
used to plan and optimize complex production value networks, optimize intricate logistics operations, and plan and schedule large, geographically diverse workforces.

NextGen Productivity

3 year deal

COSOL / Quintiq Strategic
Partnership
As a result of the HAPG Professional Services agreement, COSOL has secured a sole sourced opportunity to migrate Prony to the latest version of HAPG’s Ellipse platform (a new
Caledonian based resources company that is contributing to the global industrial revolution of sustainable mobility by supplying the nickel and cobalt required by the batteries
of the world’s most efficient electric vehicles. Prony offer a source of quality and long-term supply with a carbon footprint that will be reduced to zero by 2040).

HAPG Professional Services
Partnership

Sole Sourced

Lumada ready
COSOL has successfully renewed the application and system support services to drive further efficiencies from Urban Utilities’ investment in its enterprise asset management
systems. Over the initial 12 month engagement, COSOL delivered an Evergreen ready upgrade study to migrate the managed services to COSOL’s Evergreen managed services
solution, ensuring that their EAM investment is kept up to date with the latest software capability. This new work for UU is valued at $1.8m over a 12 month term .

Renewal of AMS for a further 12
months

Evergreen ready Ellipse Upgrade
COSOL Australia was also awarded a new contract with Anglo Platinum a division of Anglo American Group. The contract is to provide data migration services as divisions move
from SAP ECC6 to SAP S/4 Hana. The awarding of this contract has been a sole sourced engagement based on the success of COSOL’s work on previous data migration projects
with Anglo American Group. The work will also utilise COSOL’s proprietary digital solution, RP Connect, and its Legacy Data Viewer module as the quality of data becomes
paramount to the success of the overall Anglo American Group.

RPConnect ECC2S4

Sole Sourced

Extends Anglo Partnership
COSOL was awarded a sole sourced contract to analyse and remediate critical enterprise asset management data due to its proprietary digital software RPConnect. The
RPConnect® Data Quality Assessment (DQA) is COSOLs Enterprise Data Asset Management solution that shines a spotlight on data cleansing and enrichment opportunities to
ensure that data is consistent, accurate, complete, and fit for purpose. Data is a mission critical Asset; Enterprise Data Asset Management (EDAM) is the single biggest success
factor in a digital transformation journey, and most organisations are ill prepared due to many islands of disconnected data that is of unknown and/or poor quality.

Data Driven Business Improvement
COSOL North America has been awarded a new contract to provide Managed Services based on our proprietary Evergreen solution and our market leading HAPG Ellipse
capability for Long Beach Transit (LBT). The scope of works includes providing all levels of Ellipse support for the Finance, Maintenance and Procurement/Materials
