Dating back to WWII, Automatic Power was known as The Lighthouse, Inc. During that time, and ever since, Automatic Power provided aids to navigate the first oil rigs along the coast of Texas. Over the next 15 years, their growth exploded, leading the company to create five seperate entities around the globe. Today, their two main divisions are Automatic Power, Inc. and Pharos Marine.
Recently, Automatic Power, Inc., based in Houston, Texas, evaluated and subsequently selected SAP Business ByDesign. SAP Business ByDesign, SAP's latest on-demand/SaaS based ERP software is designed for rapidly growing midsize companies looking for complete, enterprise-wide integration. Up until now, Automatic Power had been running Infor Syteline.
"We are excited to be signing on with SAP Business ByDesign," said Edward Salazar, IT Admin for Automatic Power. "With SAP's reputation on the table, and with the flexibility offered by a true cloud solution, namely SAP Business ByDesign, we are confident that we have the solution in place that will give us the visibility, efficiency, and ease of use that we so desperately need, guiding us to the next level."
