Sarbanes-Oxley as Well as
Help to Better Manage Future Growth -
SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 28 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Winner
Medical Group
Inc., "Winner Medical" (OTC Bulletin Board:
WMDG), has successfully completed
the second phase of its Enterprise Resource Planning
("ERP") project, and the
SAP ERP system is now fully implemented and operating
throughout Winner
Medical and its subsidiaries.
The Winner Medical ERP Project formally commenced in
January 2006, with
Phase I of the project focused on effectively implementing
a SAP ERP system
at the Winner Medical headquarters in Shenzhen. Phase I
was completed in
June 2006 and the system has run smoothly since inception.
Phase II of the
project commenced in July 2006 with the goal of
implementingthe ERP system
throughout Winner Medical and its subsidiaries. This phase
was completed
earlier this month and is functioning well.
"Winner Medical selected the SAP ERP system
because of its technical
supremacy and ability to seamlessly integrate all of the
core business
operations of each of our subsidiaries -- from production
to supply to sales
and finally to financial records -- into one system,"
said Jianquan Li, Chief
Executive Officer. "It has proven to be an effective
and efficient solution
for managing and improving our internal controls and
corporate governance.
We believe the SAP ERP system will not only enable us to
better comply with
Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, but also help us to manage
future growth and
maintain our competitive advantage.
"To ensure a smooth and timely implementation of
the SAP ERP system,
Winner Medical engaged IBM consultants to manage the
process. Their deep
knowledge of business processes and wealth of experience in
resolving
problems in the area of business and systems integration
has proven
invaluable," concluded Mr. Li.
Winner Medical has commenced Phase III of the project
to implement the
key components of the SAP ERP system in order to better
manage internal
controls and facilitate compliance with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002. When completed, the SAP ERP system will enable
Winner Medical
management to accurately assess and report, on an annual
basis, as to the
effectiveness of Winner Medical's internal controls for
financial reporting
and enable external auditors to confirm management's
assessment.
To date, Winner Medical has invested approximately $2.4
million on the
implementation of the SAP ERP system throughout all its
companies. This
investment includes the cost of the IBM consultants, the
purchase of the SAP
system implementation program, the purchase of IBM servers
and other
machinery and the labor cost of more than 30 full time
employees.
