-
COSOL and Hitachi ABB Power Grids expand strategic partnership agreement
-
Strengthens COSOL’s position as the largest Ellipse professional services provider globally
-
COSOL signs Preferred Partner agreement for Ellipse Professional Services in Australia, New Zealand which provides ‘right of first refusal’ for defined engagements
Brisbane, 22 July 2021 – COSOL Limited ( COSOL, ASX:COS ) is pleased to announce an expanded strategic partnership agreement with Hitachi ABB Power Grids to become the preferred provider for all Ellipse Professional Services capability required by Hitachi ABB Power Grids' clients in the Australia-New Zealand region.
The decision is an outcome of a strategic partnership review focused on how best to meet the needs of Ellipse clients in the region, who will now benefit from the respective strengths of both organisations, as those clients maximise the value they derive from their Ellipse investments and transition to Hitachi ABB Power Grids’ next-generation Lumada solutions.
Throughout its 21 years of operation, COSOL has been a strategic partner of Hitachi ABB Power Grids. Over this time, COSOL has continued to strengthen its Ellipse practice with specialisations in driving practical business improvement and operational efficiencies through the use of Ellipse.
This partnership agreement represents a strong opportunity for the commercial growth of the COSOL business. The preferred provider status under the agreement, operates through a ‘right of first refusal’ mechanism, whereby COSOL has the opportunity to be the sub-contractor for all Ellipse Professional Services capability required by Hitachi ABB Power Grids' clients in the Australia-New Zealand region in accordance with defined engagement models (with the exception of Hitachi’s ability to itself perform project management services relating to Ellipse). This agreement is expected to contribute positively to COSOL’s financial performance in FY22. The commercial benefits and revenue generation of the expanded terms of the strategic partnership agreement will be based on individual scopes of works sourced during the term of the agreement and COSOL will update the market in due course on material new sales contracts awarded.
“ We are excited to further build and expand our Ellipse practice to be able to provide an even broader depth and range of Ellipse services to clients in this region. This further strengthens our position as the largest Ellipse professional services provider globally, which allows us to continue to invest for the benefit of all Ellipse clients. ” said Scott McGowan, COSOL Asia Pacific CEO.
