Under the agreement, Allied Nevada has licensed Ellipse 8, one of the world's most modern, mobile-enabled Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions designed specifically for asset-intensive industries such as mining. Allied Nevada will deploy the comprehensive and tightly integrated Ellipse 8 suite of solutions, including applications for enterprise asset and work management, finance and human resources, as well as the Mincom Integration Platform and Mincom Enterprise Reporting & Analytics. Allied Nevada has also licensed Mincom LinkOne, the mining industry's leading solution for electronic parts catalogs and maintenance manuals.

"With Ellipse 8, we believe Mincom has solidified its position as the world's best-in-class EAM and ERP provider. After a thorough evaluation, we selected Ellipse 8 as the best solution to support our business objectives, now and in the future as we expand operations."

"We continue to witness growing momentum around the adoption of Ellipse 8 among today's mining leaders, and are pleased that another innovative mining leader such as Allied Nevada has adopted the solution to underpin such a mission-critical process," said Craig Jones, EVP Worldwide Field Operations, Mincom.
