IDC IT Forum & Expo, BOSTON – June 4, 2008 – UST GlobalSM, a leading
provider of IT services and solutions for Global 2000 enterprises, announced today
at the IDC CIO Summit that it was selected by Hannaford Bros. Co., one of the largest
supermarket chains in the Northeast, to assist in software maintenance, integration
and enhancements for Hannaford’s Lawson HRIS system. UST will provide Lawson consulting
services, custom program development and support that will allow Hannaford to more
quickly comply with ever-changing government regulations and proactively deliver
new levels of employee care.
Under the agreement, UST will focus on the support and development of applications
for Lawson’s Human Capital Management suite version 8.03, which includes employee
and manager self-service, benefits administration, payroll, time accrual and personnel
administration for the company’s 27,000 employees. In addition to technical support,
UST is consulting with Hannaford to provide guidance on current and future software
enhancements and development as well as related strategic recommendations.
"We needed savvy, technically astute Lawson staff to handle our Lawson support and
development. UST stepped up to the plate and made available really good people very
quickly," said Peter Bernier, manager of HR and financial systems at Hannaford.
"Another reason why we selected UST is the similarity of values between Hannaford
and UST. At the end of the day success is all about the people you choose to work
and partner with. It is an on-going pleasure to work with UST and I am looking forward
to building a long-term partnership with them."
"Hannaford has an enviable reputation in the retail grocery industry of being an
employer of choice. It has achieved this distinction through a solid, unwavering
commitment to its employees. We look forward to becoming a trusted strategic partner
of Hannaford and to support its ability to continue to deliver great services and
maintain a positive employee experience," said Mike Zerkel, general manager, North
American sales at UST Global. "UST has extensive experience in the retail grocery
industry and we are pleased to announce our relationship with Hannaford. It is another
major retail client that we welcome to our growing list of satisfied clients."
